Apple has apologized for slowing down older iPhones and temporarily dropped prices for a replacement battery, but will it be enough to make customers happy? Zac Hall, Editor at 9to5Mac joins Cheddar to discuss.
The tech company said it issued a software update that slowed down older phones in some situations to extend battery life.
