They’ll receive a $50 credit so long as the battery swap was done at an Apple-authorized service location. It’s not a total refund, but it brings the price down to the discounted one that Apple is currently offering for battery changes. > The credit will come as an electronic funds transfer or a credit on the credit card used to pay for the battery. Customers might have to provide a proof of purchase. Apple says it’ll reach out to eligible customers through email between May 23rd and July 27th with instructions on how to proceed.
