I don't know about phones, but here where I live (Eastern Europe) there is no official Apple stores, but are official partners. I own 16 inch 2019 Macbook Pro which has cycle count 984 and doesn't hold much charge any more. I asked for a quote for replacement from official Apple partner and they said it would cost me 861 euros. I consider it very expensive.

- Gigachad 4y agoThe 2019 MacBook had a horrible design that makes battery replacements almost impossible. They fixed it in 2021 so it’s significantly easier to swap now.
- martin_a 4y agoGreat! So, let's invest 2500+ Euro in a new MBP so the battery on that one can more easily be replaced in two years from now. That's a win! /s
- Gigachad 4y agoObviously it’s not a solution for someone who has a 2019 model. Just some context that improvement has been made here. Current MacBooks now use pull strips for adhesive.
- reustle 4y agoFor the others who were curious how difficult the process was, here's a $130 replacement and a full guide on how to do it. Not easy by any means, but not impossible. https://www.ifixit.com/products/macbook-pro-16-2019-battery https://www.ifixit.com/products/macbook-pro-16-2019-battery
