Apple a step ahead of phone thieves - app shows if battery replacement is bogus

iphone7battery.jpg?quality=82&strip=all

the white paint logo and plastic are easily faked by chinese copycat illegal import batteries: but the inner safety electronics and battery power cannot be

Take your phone to a non-Apple place and get a chinese copy battery (worthless fake no mah with fake apple logo - chinese are well known for attacking usa with brand fakes)

Apples new phone narks if your New Battery is: a fake, or has a low charge ability

asians are livid that Apple's phone nark's on fake batteries and hope the technology isn't put into google phones

the bad news is they are not "easy" to replace you could easily damage your phone trying to do it - the picture above is wrong-ish. the Xphone has 2 batteries behind the larger screen model

the battery SHOULD last the lifetime of the phone as far as the 1st owner is concerned

... it's obviously made in china and not made to be replaced any more than any non-replaceable chinese made thing is easy to replace. for example: it's glued in but there is no need for it to be glued other than to make repairs difficult. chinese obstruction mechanics are obvious. the chinese are huge obstructionists.

that being said replacement is the SAME AS THE LAST IPHONE

a more honest sales point would be to say

"chinese made, non-replaceable battery" - which is how imac magic mice were advertised on the sales floor in the 20teens: honestly

what else did the CHINESE FACTORY assembling iphone do?

PUT SEVERAL CONNECTORS AND SCREWS OBSTRUCTING BATTERY REPLACEMENT

i'm telling you the f'ing chinese are the worst obstructionists

not one of those screws or connectors has any business blocking battery replacement

(the difference: parts of a milli-meter. obviously intentional obstruction)

FUCK THE CHINESE. APPLE SHOULD BE BUILDING THE PHONE IN THE USA ANYWAY.

the only news is why did apple take so long?

Dell has done that with laptop batteries since their earliest laptops*



and for a good reason - knock-off batteries last less than one year and give a operational time of seconds ON A FULL CHARGE with the indicator reading fully healthy

chinese knock-off batteries? they'll steal from you quick

you want the OEM battery and charger unless you should be throwing the thing away and are near about to

ON A $1,000 PHONE ?

YOU NEED A BACKED GUARANTEE YOUR REPLACEMENT DIDN'T DAMAGE THE PHONE AND BATTERY WILL LAST (also - the battery warrantee honored if it's not that old yet).

no fucking way let some small shop hack your $1,000 phone with a battery you never see and a warrantee they'll never honor?

OMG your dumb if you do that

SOME ASIAN MAGAZINES ARE REPORTING THAT APPLE'S NEW FEATURE DAMAGES THE PHONE

it's of course a lie

the feature doesn't prevent (an total idiot) from buying a chinese battery and putting it in the phone. it only has a warning in the settings area that A BATTERY THEFT HAS OCCURRED

which it HAS - the warning is 100% correct

apple batt. long life and with warrantee you can trust. chinese battery: may damage your phone short life no warrantee (it will die a day after the warrantee guaranteed)

You're dumb if you spend $1,000 on a phone to begin with.

fake batteries are a HUGE china business

small shops that steal parts from phone they are "promising to repair" is a business as well
