What I want is for Apple to allow iFixit to buy OEM batteries, and the battery should come with access to the validation service.
That way, Apple has no liability for the actual repair.
But, as others suggest, I think there is actually a dark pattern at work here.
- ghaff 4y agoThere's nothing particularly special about OEM batteries. I don't generally buy them when I need replacements.
- wrycoder 4y agoI’ve replaced several iPhone batteries. Even when purchased from iFixit, they don’t last nearly as long as OEM. About half as long, I’d estimate.
- quitit 4y agoIt’s confirmed as the the same toolkit used by Apple and 3rd party authorised repair. The controversy exists because people want it to - iFixIt exists and offers a different approach. Sounds dumb to me that Apple should offer something different from their official procedures to please those that are in over their head.
