Because people want a genuine part (reliable battery). I would pay the price if the battery was max 200eur. Nope, Apple is greedy. In my case they wanted 400Eur

- somehnguy 6y agoSo buy a genuine battery then? They aren't hard to find and are under $100.
- shaan7 6y agoWait, it is possible to get a genuine* battery replacement for an Apple device? And no, I'm not being sarcastic, my friend was told by an Apple Store that even an attempt to open the Macbook chassis voids warranty. They refused to replace the battery EVEN WHEN HE WAS READY TO PAY "because there was an unauthorized attempt to open the device". He finally had to go to a repair shop and get it done under an hour (because now the warranty was void anyway). genuine = guaranteed by Apple to not break your warranty
- xhruso00 6y agoThere is no genuine original battery on the market. Only option to get it is from Apple for 400eur. Every seller is lying about originality.
- somehnguy 6y agoIf it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck...well who cares if it calls itself a swan. Anyone paying $400 for battery is out of their minds. My $100 apparently ‘fake’ battery performs identical as the one Apple sells. Who cares at that point.
