 Additional Information Apple may restrict or limit repair to the original country of purchase. If you believe your iPhone 5 was affected by this issue, and you paid to replace your battery, you can contact Apple about a refund. This worldwide Apple program doesn't extend the standard warranty coverage of the iPhone 5. The program covers affected iPhone 5 batteries for 3 years after the first retail sale of the unit. ||||| If you purchased the iPhone 5 early in its life and your battery seems to need charging more often than usual, pay attention: Apple has just announced an iPhone 5 battery replacement program for phones that "may suddenly experience shorter battery life or need to be charged more frequently." The affected phones were all sold in the first few months of the iPhone 5's life, between September of 2012 and January of 2013. 
  
 Apple's program page, linked above, will tell you if your phone is eligible based on its serial number, which can be found in iOS' Settings app under the "About" subheading. Affected users will need to take their phone to an Apple service provider, an Apple Retail Store, or make arrangements with Apple's phone support technicians. Before taking your phone in for repair, Apple recommends that you back your data up using iCloud or iTunes, turn off the Find My iPhone service, and reset the phone to its factory default settings. 
  
 The program launches today in the US and China, and it will be available in other countries on August 29. It will be available for two years after your purchase date or until March 1 of 2015, "whichever provides longer coverage." 
  
 This program follows another ongoing replacement program for the iPhone 5's power button, which affects phones sold between September of 2012 and March of 2013. As with that replacement program, Apple won't replace your battery unless your iPhone is in good working order and has an uncracked screen—if you take a broken iPhone to Apple to get the battery replaced, you'll need to pay for any other repairs first. If you don't want to pay Apple's often-steep repair fees, there are always alternate solutions available from third-parties. ||||| Is your iPhone 5 experiencing shortness of battery life or need to be charged more frequently? It may be eligible for Apple's replacement program. 
  
 Cupertino is now offering new batteries for "a very small percentage of iPhone 5 devices" purchased between September 2012 and January 2013. The replacement process began Aug. 22 in the U.S. and China; it will become available in other countries as of Aug. 29. 
  
 To find out if your phone is eligible, enter your phone's serial number on Apple's website (Settings > General > About > Serial number). If it is, you can visit an Apple retail store or contact technical support to have your battery replaced. 
  
 Your phone needs to be in working order. "If your iPhone 5 has any damage such as a cracked screen which impairs the replacement of the battery, that issue will need to be resolved prior to the battery replacement," Apple said. 
  
 If you're eligible and already paid to have your battery replaced, Apple said to get in touch about a refund. 
  
 To prepare your iPhone 5 for the battery replacement process, be sure to back up your data to iTunes or iCloud, turn off Find my iPhone, and erase data and settings (via Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings). 
  
 International users, beware: Apple may restrict or limit repair to the original country of purchase; a pre-visit phone call should answer any questions. 
  
 Apple ran into battery issues with the iPhone 5s last October, shortly after its release. 
  
 Of course, you could just hit up your local Walmart to buy a brand new iPhone 5c for less than $1. The bargain-basement 97-cent price tag also requires a two-year service agreement with AT&T;, Verizon, Sprint, or U.S. Cellular. The superstore is also selling the speedier iPhone 5s for a $20 discount, dropping the $99 asking price to $79 with the same two-year contract. 
  
 But with Cupertino's iPhone 6 announcement reportedly just around the corner, it may be easier for some to simply wait for the next-gen handset to hit shelves. As usual, Apple's plans are tightly under wraps, but a slew of rumors have tipped various aesthetic and battery-based updates.

Buy an early iPhone 5 with a crappy battery? Apple has launched a battery recall on any 5's bought between September 2012 and January 2013, Forbes reports. How you know it's bad: The device "may suddenly experience shorter battery life or need to be charged more frequently," says Apple. See if your iPhone is eligible by visiting the replacement program's website and entering your serial number, which is on the phone under Settings > General > About. But if the phone is damaged in a way that impedes battery replacement, you have to fix that first, PC Magazine reports. The program will run until next March or two years after your purchase date, whichever gives you longer coverage, reports Ars Technica.
