    Yeah it’s baffling seeing the people on the internet thinking this is a big F you to apple especially. Have these people never watched any iPhone teardown videos? Replacing an iPhone battery is about as easy as it gets.

    Having said that, Apple’s official iPhone battery replacement program means that I wouldn’t even bother doing it myself even though I’m capable of it, because apple do it cheaper than my time is worth while giving me a warranty.

      It’s more baffling to me how my initial comment is not supportive of apple in anyway, yet people are acting like I’m defending it.

        It’s because you didn’t say fuck apple. Unfortunately on the internet to many people discussion on this either comes down to “yay apple” or “fuck apple”, and they up/down vote accordingly.

        As you said, to anyone that has ever even thought about replacing a battery in an iPhone this will change nothing because replacing the battery in an iPhone is as easy as it can get short of having a removable back plate, and we know 100% that’s not coming back.
