I feel like that's the standard language they've used on these pages previously. I imagine that's just room for them to deny you in case you had swapped out the battery yourself or otherwise disqualified yourself. But I'd love to hear back from others. I'm sure talking to someone at Apple could also clarify. 1-2 weeks sucks even if they had an option for a loaner (which they tend not to)...especially for "pro" equipment. Also, I tend not to trust repair shops in general. I backup and often wipe my equipment before handing it over. This also means I don't have to hand over passwords.
