Im not asking people here if they are lawyers and giving me legally binding information. Whats the point of the forum if i cant ask what im usually reasonably able to expect under standard conditions.
One can certainly make stipulations that
- the MacBook Pro was used as intended
- did not get wet or dropped from heights
- was not left laying in direct sunshine
- I used original charger
- The device never overheated or had to do thermal throttling,
- etc.
My Device Diagnostic tool says that everything is perfectly fine with the device. Battery charge capacity is still great (and should be at 100 charge cycles), battery status is normal.
Im asking if per AppleCare extended warranty, under which the MBP is still covered until 2020, i will receive the battery change for free.
There are however additional complications.
The appointment i received from Apple Support staff at the iCare center in my town is for Monday around noon time.
However the swelling is increasing and i suspect that the shell may already be deformed.
Will that also then be replaced?
The question (for those who think this is a legally binding advice group) is, how this is usually handled and what others experienced in this situation. Yes also those who for certain reasons didnt receive the replacement free of charge, or where there they had to pay for certain services/things separately.
Since iCare Authorized Apple repair center is most likely to wipe the device clean, am i allowed to make a backup now? with bloated batteries? ....
