How Apple Is Building a Battery-Health Subscription


Listen Later

Episode 111 explores a rumored Apple shift: a battery-health subscription for iPhone and Mac. Lucas and Luna discuss the Gigaton Group report claiming Apple is testing a $9.99/month service that guarantees at least 85% battery capacity, with free replacements when it drops below. They break down the financial logic—Apple's potential $6 billion annual revenue from iPhone battery subscriptions alone, the impact on planned obsolescence, and whether customers will pay for what they used to get free under warranty. Specific numbers and a comparison to Tesla's battery warranty make this a focused, concrete conversation about services revenue vs. user trust.
