If we define "user replaceable" as "requires specialized tools and skills, while voiding the warranty in the process", can we agree we've stretched the term beyond usefulness?
- alkonaut 9y agoYes definitely agree, however 1) if the battery needs replacing within warranty doesn't that mean the user shouldn't have to? There is of course a case where the user thinks the battery life is bad but apple doesn't agree so the warranty doesn't help. 2) there is a difference between replaceable and user replaceable and my point was that "replacable" is usually enough since batteries are so rarely replaced compared to e.g screens. I have no stats but my personal guess would be that an average iPhone has at least one screen replacement.
- sbuk 9y agoSemantics, but you said "replaceable battery" not "user replaceable battery.
