Introduction
If you’re an Apple iPhone 8 or 8 Plus owner, you might be aware of the news that iOS 11.3 has stopped copy screens (those designed and manufactured from scratch by third-party companies) from working.

The Important Points
- Apple attracted negative publicity when it became clear that iOS was slowing down iPhones with older batteries.
- Worn-out batteries are less likely to be able to reliably meet the power needs of the CPU and GPU when they’re running at full speed, resulting in possible crashes.
- Apple claims to have tried to work round such situations by spreading out the workload and reducing other sources of power use- but only when iOS detects the battery is degraded.
- Apple will replace your battery for you, but you may normally wait weeks to have it done. On top of this, there’s currently (as of Jan 2018) a shortage of replacement batteries expected to last until March or April.
- Disc Depot Dundee can replace your battery for you. We generally keep batteries for all recent iPhone models in stock, and can usually fit them the same day. Read More
