I suspect that they see the right to repair movement and are trying to preempt it, at least to an extent.

- gregoriol 5y agoIt's probably just that replacing too many parts when one breaks was getting too costly for them
- stuff4ben 5y agoYou know, it could be both...
- eli 5y agoMaybe I'm reading too much into it, but adding convenient pull tabs really does feel like a shift in direction to at least be less hostile to non-Apple or DIY replacements. They could have easily opted for a special battery removal tool.
- rasz 5y agoWhat good are pull tabs when you cant buy original replacement battery(1)? /1 without giving up your business books for 5 years selling your customers privacy, and giving up ability to do component level repair.
- eli 5y agoMore good than not having available replacement batteries and also having the original glued to the case?
