remember my colleague whom got a 'faulty' battery?


initially Starhub service centre told her no stock so we all tot wait for battery stock to be in and she gets a new battery.

so after 1 week, she went back yday to check and turn out they giving her 1-to-1 exchange ie a brand new iPhone4 so its a case of no stock for iPhone4 and not no stock for battery.

weird thing is, the lady asked her if her iPhone4 is white or black so she can get the stock for her exchange!!

does it mean, white is in??

I heard that the set they offered for 1-to-1 exchange is not brand new, but refurbished. Meaning, it was a faulty set returned by another customer. So the faulty battery set which your colleague returned will be sent for fixing, then to be issued to the next person with a faulty set.

huh.. oh oh.. but she did mention they did not require her to bring back the charger / box, it is just a 1 iPhone4 in exchange for another iPhone4..

just sms-ed her, heng ah, she witnessed them opening up a new box ie a brand new handset!

they can only give a 1-to-1 exchange because the battery is not removable

is it true that iPhone 5 will have removable battery ?

Just wondering wat happens when we over stretch e battery, overuse e phone, does it make e phone die a sooner death? Battery is irreplaceable right?

Battery is replaceable, but only through apple. You have to send to their service center in YCK or epi center.

so is this part still applicable or not? or battery dead = iphone gone??
