Way back in 1992, DC Comics shocked the world by killing off iconic superhero Superman in an all-out battle against the super villain Doomsday. While people mourned the loss of the Man of Steel, he later would return, reincarnated, even mightier than ever. This story came to my mind earlier this year in April, when Apple declared dead the original 4-inch iPhone SE and announced its rebirth in a form with a significantly bigger screen size than before. While many rejoiced at the 2020 release of the second-generation iPhone SE, it was a doomsday of sorts for fans who prefer small Apple smartphones.

If you are an iPhone owner who did not take advantage of Apple's $29 battery replacement program for the iPhone which ended on December 31, 2018, fear not! The $29.99 do-it-yourself battery replacement kits from iFixIt are here to save the day and will remain at the discounted price through the end of 2019. Announced by iFixIt at the end of January, the extension to the lowered price for its do-it-yourself battery replacement kits was its own response to Apple's discounted battery replacement program, which itself was announced in the latter part of December 2017 and was the tech company's answer to its debacle over performance throttling of older iPhone models.
