    MacBook Pro battery swollen.

    iPhone 6 Plus battery - Sign of failing again

    UGH. Not sure if the timing is perfect or lousy. I had the battery in my iPhone 6 plus replaced in July 2015, and again Aug 2016, when I decided I wasn't going with the 7 I just said to myself. 'I hope it would last until at least the end of Sept 2017' I think I jinxed myself. I went to reply...
