Apple is correct to make its software smart about managing old batteries, which can act unpredictably. Apple is wrong, however, not to make it easy and inexpensive to replace old batteries. Replacing your phone's battery might make a huge difference. There’s no charge if you paid upfront for AppleCare Plus coverage and have a battery Apple thinks warrants replacing. You can buy a new iPhone 6 battery for as little as $20, if you’re willing to do surgery on your phone.
