Apple has extended its iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program up to January 16, 2016 for select devices, notes iPhone in Canada.
Apple first launched the battery replacement program in August of 2014.
Apple has determined that a very small percentage of iPhone 5 devices may suddenly experience shorter battery life or need to be charged more frequently. The affected iPhone 5 devices were sold between September 2012 and January 2013 and fall within a limited serial number range.
Initially, Apple said that the program would cover iPhone 5 batteries for "two years after the first retail sale of the unit or until March 1, 2015."
However, the program has now been extended to cover "affected iPhone 5 batteries for 3 years after the first retail sale of the unit." That means that depending on your device, it qualifies for a battery replacement until September 2015 or January 2016, at the latest.
