Looks like my 5S phone is not covered. From macworld:
Is my iPhone part of the battery replacement program?
If you have an iPhone 6 or later you are eligible to receive a battery as part of the program. The complete list of phones included are:
iPhone SE
iPhone 6
iPhone 6 Plus
iPhone 6s
iPhone 6s Plus
iPhone 7
iPhone 7 Plus
How do I know if my iPhone is one of the affected models?
If your phone has been sluggish over the past few months, your battery is likely the culprit. Back in iOS 10.2.1, Apple added a power-management feature to iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and iPhone SE that throttles the maximum performance to compensate for declining battery life.
I have an iPhone 5S hand-me-down, and it is running iOS 10.0.1 With typically light daily usage, occasionally medium usage (but no heavy duty streaming videos and such), I have to charge it every other day. I have no idea if this is considered good or bad.
Maybe they didn't include the 5S in the battery offer because they didn't think any respectable Apple owner would be so backwards as to still own one?
