Apple's warranty, known as the Apple Limited Warranty, covers your iPhone and Apple-branded accessories against manufacturing defects for one year from the date you bought your product. However, it does not cover batteries that wear down from normal use. If your battery has a manufacturing defect and it's covered by the Apple Limited Warranty, AppleCare+, or consumer law, they will service it at no additional cost. If you're experiencing battery issues, and it's not due to a manufacturing defect, there may be a service charge.
