That Apple repair probably costs them a tenner, and they're presumably primarily bringing you in to market new products to you.
Apple offer battery repair as part of their anti-competitive practices - they legally hassle other companies who offer repairs, because they want to make it hard and costly to drive the idea of disposability and sell more new products.
- donor20 6y agoCan you name a single one of these tablet makers that you can go into any town repair shop to get repaired?
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoApple and Samsung are both repaired at the "phone shop" I used to pass on my way to work (I don't work in town now). Can't imagine a MS Surface, or a LG/Huawei/whatever device is much different if they can get an aftermarket battery.
- donor20 6y agoFair point - checking the local repair places to me - they all actually lead with apple repairs in terms of being able to give a price / in stock etc. LG I guess they need to order LG Tab 10.1 - they were not actually stocking parts for at least that brand.
