Defective Battery

I replaced my iPhone 8 battery two months back, but the battery suddenly bulged. I have six months warranty on the replaced battery, but when I contacted the customer care they said that warranty will not be applicable. Why can't they replace the battery as it is a defective battery?

I have an iPhone 11 Pro and it is but two years old or so. My battery, according to the analytics conducted by Apple support online, is “defective.” That is their statement, not mine. Apple refused to replace it. Why?! A one year warranty from Apple is useless. No battery is going to show its defective composition within one year. My battery with my iPhone 11 Pro is only two years old, or so. Yet, it showed a 76% maximum capacity when Apple conducted it’s online analytics testing. Apple stated that the battery is defective and at first promise to replace it. Then, they said it’s “out of warranty“ and refused to do so. That is an incredibly disappointing customer service and horrible company policy, because it really means nothing when it comes down to it. Then again, what would one expect from a multinational corporation who cares more about their profits in their customers. Corporate arrogance.

iPhone replacement battery warranty I paid to have the battery of my iPhone 6s replaced at the end of last year at an Apple Store. I always plug my phone in when I do video or GPS, and I never leave my phone in a hot car, yet my "new" battery has deteriorated so much that I need to charge the battery several times a day, and it has unexpectedly shut down at least twice. My old battery was two years old and performing better than this before I had it replaced. I called Apple support, and they tell me that, indeed, diagnostics indicate that the battery needs to be replaced. It has only been about 4 months since I paid for a battery replacement. Apple Support made an appointment to have my battery replaced at an Apple Store. I asked them if the battery will be replaced without a charge to me, and they tell me that they cannot say - that is up to the Apple Store. Needless to say, I am not happy about that. I have searched, and I cannot see posted anywhere what the Apple warranty is for a replacement battery. Does anyone know? If a new iPhone comes with a 1 year warranty, shouldn't a new battery come with a similar warranty?

Apple only provides a 3 month warranty on repairs except in India where local repair shop rules apply. If you are in India then you need to fight it out with the repair shop.

In my mind, natural justice would mean that they should repair the phone for free but I don't know all the law in all countries.

But one important thing - turn the phone off, do not charge it!
