Apple iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6s Plus replacement batteries are facing a supply shortage and there is a wait time of nearly two weeks for these, according to a report by MacRumors. The report is quoting internal documents that were distributed to Apple Stores and authorised service providers in the US, though it also says that for other regions the wait time might vary.

According to MacRumors, the iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6s Plus batteries will not be available till late March or early April in the US and other regions. However replacement batteries for the smaller iPhone 6s, iPhone 6, iPhone 7 series and the iPhone SE model are all available without any delays, adds the report. Apple had announced a battery replacement program for all users with iPhone 6 and above after it faced criticism that it was slowing down older iPhones, when the batteries were really at fault.

Apple slashed the price of the space battery from $79 to $29 in the US. In India, the battery replacement starts at Rs 2000 plus taxes. Apple had announced this in December and penned a long apology note to its customers saying that it was not the company’s intention to slow down older products. Apple had said that the iOSupdate only managed peak performance, and this only kicked into place in iPhones, which had decaying batteries or where the battery was damaged or too old. It was being reported that some iPhones were shutting down and the fault was in the battery, which was unable to handle the power load performance.

Apple has also promised it will introduce a new feature in iOS, which will let users examine the health of the battery and give them an indication whether this could be impacting the performance. Apple’s battery replacement program will be live till December 2018. Anyone with an iPhone 6 and above is eligible for a battery change.

MS Dhoni’s return catch was big moment in the match: Kane Williamson

MS Dhoni’s return catch was big moment in the match: Kane Williamson New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson lauded his bowlers for drying up the runs during India’s chase in the second ODI here, terming Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s brilliant return catch by Tim Southee as a “big moment” in the match. When asked about how the bowlers and fielders responded while defending a low total, Williamson said: “Someone like MS Dhoni, he can finish matches when he is allowed to play his shots. He is the best in the world. That catch was big for us.” Williamson was happy with the manner his bowlers responded on a tricky surface and also gave an insight to how some adjustments led to the Indian skipper playing 37 dot balls. “On this kind of a surface (Kotla), scrapping was important. You needed to put the ball in areas where it’s tough to get away and try and build that pressure. It was an extremely good effort considering that the ball was damp due to dew factor...

NOKIA X REVIEW

NOKIA X REVIEW My green Nokia X (Photo credit: veer66 ) Nokia launched its first 'Android' phone, Nokia X, in India to lure buyers with the prospect of Android app support. The smartphone maker believes it will act as a 'feeder' for its Lumia phone range and make the first time smartphone users feel at home before they graduate to high-end alternatives. But does Nokia X live up to the hype surrounding it, or is it a case of too little, too late from the fabled Finnish firm? We find out in our review. Build & design Nokia X takes design cues from both Nokia Lumia 520/525 and Asha 503. It sports the same rectangular design and a colourful polycarbonate shell, which is a bit chunky. As soon as you notice the Asha-like capacitive button with the arrow label at the front, just below the screen, you realize it is not a Windows Phone device. Also, unlike the Lumia 525/520, the edges of the phone are sharp and not rounded. The edges at the front feel roug...
