So, just replace my battery every few months? That's OK? NO.

I'm losing respect for Apples mobile hardware line. So what if their SoC is amazing, if it is downclocked every month. Review benchmarks are dishonest if not taking this into account.

You'll only be able to do it in 2018 for $29, it's a limited time offer.

The release you'll have to sign indemnifying Apple against past or future battery related issues or lawsuits will probably be permanent though.

Is this release actually true?
I made it up, I've seen no mention of a release. However that doesn't mean there won't be. The program isn't slated to start until late January so we'll have to wait and see.

Honestly I'd be surprised if there weren't some sort of indemnification as it's so common practice with everything today.
