So many comments here seem to miss the point. It should not (and in fact, does not) require these massive, industrial tools to safely replace a battery, which 100% of phones will need to replace if they aren't otherwise damaged. You do need some tools, but you don't need those tools. Worse than that, the tools that the writer received seemed to be both more difficult to use AND worse at the job than the $25 battery replacement kits you can find on Amazon. It's not like these tools made it a breeze, it's still just as difficult as using a cheap kit. But the cheap kit costs $25 for the battery and reusable tools, while this setup costs $118 and puts a $1200 hold on your card. If a brute like me can repair a phone with a $25 kit, anybody can. This seems like malicious compliance by Apple. You have the "right to repair" your phone, but at huge cost and risk.
