Trying to raise awareness to the fact that Apple's battery letter is only available on the american store. We in Brazil already experience absurd prices (a battery replacements costs R$ 449,00, equivalent to US$ 136,41), but I doubt will see equivalent reductions...

The article does mention price reductions “starting in late January and available worldwide through December 2018.“

> available worldwide through December 2018

Which is quite frankly ridiculous. Nothing really justifies waiting a year for this.

Apple already has everything it needs to replace batteries worldwide right now (either with third party official repair companies or their own), and the cost of doing so will not likely change from here to December 2018.

The offer is "starting in late January" and goes "through [to] December 2018" and it's "available worldwide."

Ohh right.

D'oh.

"Late January" is 1 month from now
