In which they had a whole year of really cheap, highly subsidized battery replacements to correct their error. I think Apple should be forgiven for this

I was unable to benefit from the battery replacement due to a chip in the screen they discovered after I got a CS code to do it: https://i.imgur.com/Gr1bPTU.jpg

What is a CS code?

Effectively a coupon code issued by a customer support representative.

Apple did not actually offer the replacement program within ~600km of my home, but I managed to convince them that an Apple Authorised Service provider in my town at least do it. They agreed and gave me a CS Code valid for the the battery replacement to be done.

But it was ultimately denied because of a tiny chip in the glass on the screen.

I really liked every other aspect of this phone though.
