Under Apple’s standard one-year warranty, defective batteries are replaced at no charge. Additionally, AppleCare Plus covers battery replacements free of charge if the battery’s capacity drops below 80 percent. For batteries with higher capacity but lower performance, options include third-party repairs or using official Apple parts for a DIY fix, which may be more cost-effective compared to Apple’s service fees.
