Angry iPhone fans will have to wait until March to fix their handsets, despite promises from Apple to replace ageing batteries.

The tech company previously admitted deliberately reducing the performance of older smartphones to extend their battery life.

It offered to replace the power packs in the iPhone 6 or later even if the devices passed Apple’s Genius Bar diagnostic test according to an internal memo.

Customers have taken to social media to express their outrage at being told the firm has run out of stock and won’t be getting more batteries in for at least two months.

News of the delay first emerged from internal documents distributed to Apple Stores and Apple authorised service providers.

Batteries for the iPhone 6+ are in particularly short supply, with a wait of ‘approximately two weeks’ anticipated for replacement batteries for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s Plus, according to reports in MacRumours.

Batteries for other models like the iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPhone SE are expected to be available ‘without extended delays’ in most countries, the paperwork states.

This may vary from country to country, with wait times expected to vary in some regions, particularly the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, Russia, and Turkey.

Customers in the US and UK have already begun to report being told about the delay by staff at Apple Stores.

Many have taken to Twitter to vent their frustration at the Cupertino company.

Among them is Ed Luczak, who said: ‘iPhone 6 Plus. Speak to Apple make battery repair appointment get confrimation arrive and get told the batteries are no longer made. Check back in March. Hello Samsung!!’
