The idea is that due to the special repair it will be costly enough to the point where you will opt for buying a new laptop.
It's $200 for a 2015 MacBook Pro for Apple to replace the battery. An aftermarket battery costs around $50 but it's tricky to install.

- zenexer 5y agoMaybe it's different in some parts of the world, but at least in the US, the scenario described by the parent will not be covered by the warranty, and you will have to pay for it: > It's $200 for a 2015 MacBook Pro for Apple to replace the battery.
- ksec 5y ago>But Apple has to replace the batteries and pay for it under their warranties, not you. Apple operate the 1 year MacBook warranty policy across the world with only specific countries that they abide by the law of 3 years warranty. However if you dont mention it, as in UK, they will still charge you for it.
