Now after clarifying the need of the new update, Apple is temporarily dropping down the prices for the batteries of the iPhone 6 and later versions to $29 from January, which will again get back to the original price of $79 in 2019.
Even though the iPhones are not known for their batteries, Apple is justifying the new update by saying that they want to improve the battery life of the older phones.
