Worn out batteries may not be covered by the warranty.

"May not"? Why wouldn't a battery be covered under warranty? It isn't
specifically excluded.


I said "may" as warranties vary by country. In the US: "This Warranty does
not apply: (a) to consumable parts, such as batteries..."

Go read the warranty for your location.

I don't own an Apple Phone

you don't need to own one to read the warranty information.

here's what motorola has to say:

e_Year_Warranty.pdf
MOBILE PHONES & TABLETS (³Product²)
....
This Warranty Does Not Apply to:
(a) Consumable parts, such as batteries or protective coatings
designed to diminish over time unless failure has occurred due to a
defect in materials or workmanship. As with all batteries, the
maximum capacity of the battery will decrease with time and use; this
is not a defect. Only defective batteries and batteries that leak are
covered by this warranty.

note the key sentence:
As with all batteries, the maximum capacity of the battery will
decrease with time and use; this is not a defect.

Note the key sentence:

"unless failure has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship."

I think that is what Apple has said is happening to their batteries. Aren't
they fixing this problem in newer phones with better batteries. If the old
batteries aren't bad, why would they need to fix them?
