I got the cost confirmed by two different repair shops. They don't officially replace the battery only, but the whole top case assembly replaced with a cost of something ~€750 in 2021. I checked the emails we exchanged.
- ThePowerOfFuet 3y agoThe part is the same, but the price changes depending on the cause code entered into GSX; if it's sold as a battery replacement, the cost of the replacement topcase is much less than if you spilt a drink on the keyboard. The AASP was screwing you over, either deliberately or by ignorance.
- dijit 3y agoBatteries are a replaceable component, apple doesn't make it easy but it's not particularly harder than any other device. It's not soldered in and doesn't touch the top-case. Now: if the battery expanded and caused internal damage (bending the top case and damaging the keyboard) then what you said makes sense, but that's a pretty glaring omission if so.
- themoonisachees 3y agoIf the battery expanded and caused internal damage after 2 years of use then there is clearly a design issue.
