- ksec 2y agoThis needs to be the top voted comment. Also MacBook Battery replacement with whole keyboard has been a thing for 12+ years at least.

- lapcat 2y ago> I am an AASP. I replace apple silicon batteries under warranty. In the United States?
- millzlane 2y agoYup, They do not require me to mail in the device. I order a top case w battery or a replacement battery depending on the model.
- lapcat 2y agoWell, I don't know. Like I said, I've been going to the same place for years, and they've done battery replacements and other work for me before, and I've never had a problem. It doesn't seem plausible that they would turn away business. Which state are you in?
- bzzzt 2y agoProbably he went to some Apple reseller that passes repairs to a real AASP. I've seen that arrangement in my vicinity and you're better off going directly to the repair centre. Not everyone knows that though.
- lapcat 2y ago> Probably he went to some Apple reseller that passes repairs to a real AASP. No, it's definitely performed in-house. I can literally see their workshop and talk to the technicians. Not to mention that same-day service would have been very difficult if it were passed off to someone else. And there aren't many AASPs in my town anyway.
