I was certain my iphone was going to be one of the phones replaced. But alas... that is not the case.
Which is insane because my phone battery drains faster than anyone I know. I've tried everything. I close all apps as soon as I finish with them. I only play games if I'm hooked up to a charger. It's so frustrating.
In a post on its website, the company announced that it will replace the battery packs for free in some phones sold between September 2012 and January 2013. A flaw in a "very small percentage" of devices sold during that window causes the phones to suddenly lose charge and need to be plugged in frequently. The company started replacing the batteries on Aug. 22.
To find out if you're eligible, Apple has a serial number checker here. The company also said it would refund customers who have already paid to replace faulty batteries.

The serial number you entered is not eligible under this program because either:
- It's not one of the serial numbers in the affected range
- It's not one of the serial numbers in the affected range
