What’s funny is that apple did this because “batteries are dangerous”.
Now to replace a battery we have to cut adhesive attached to the battery with sharp tools (if battery is punctured it becomes a bomb), remove and cut off covers for the terminals and the little battery board, cut the leads of the old battery off, sperating the battery board, use a Dremel to prep the leads of new battery terminals and original battery board, place parts into a jig and spot weld the terminals, melting and fusing them together (if the terminals get too hot or it takes too long the battery becomes a bomb again), then plug the new battery and battery board to a sketchy reprogrammer from god knows where in china and then apply new adhesive to plant it back in the phone. Fuck me.
What makes it even more disgusting is pushing the blame towards the repair shops, popups citing “non genuine parts” and completely unrelated issues like not being able to draw properly on iPads.

Don’t they use the adhesive instead of, I dunno, screws, because it specifically makes it more difficult to repair?
