    was reading on apples site that the battery will diminish slightly with every full charge cycle and that after so many charges that it may only hold 50% of the power a new one could..which is normal for lithium batteries i know..

    question is..when this does happen where do i go to get it replaced? If i didnt buy my phone from o2 does that just mean im screwed??

    thanks

    look at the price they charge for out of warranty service:
    iPhone 3G Out-of-Warranty Service
    8GB 199 Euros
    16GB 299 Euros
    Original iPhone Out-of-Warranty Service
    4GB & 8GB 199 Euros
    16GB 249 Euros

    *All fees are in Euros and include VAT.


    and extra 100 euro fee if u want the 16gb version serviced? its the same bloody phone!! total scumbags

    That's not the price for battery replacement, however. Out-of-warranty battery replacement costs a flat €79 (incl VAT) plus €12.10 shipping and handling.

    It's all part of the Apple tax consumers are expected to pay for having the privilege of owning an Apple product.
