Hello,
I've got a 2014 15" MBP that I want to keep as my main device for another 2/3 years (when I'll hopefully finish the university). The laptop is still in mint condition and pretty powerful for what I do, the only issue is that lately the battery health went a bit downhill, quickly passing from 91% to about 85%.
This device will become "vintage" next year, meaning that Apple will not be forced to offer hardware support fot it in the future.
Since I want to keep it anyway, will they accept to replace by battery for the standard out-of-warranty price of 209€ even if the battery health is still above 80%?
I'm not asking if I should replace it rather than upgrading or whatever, I'm just interested in other people's experience with Apple battery replacement, thanks!
