Thank you EU. Both my laptop and phone have non-replaceable batteries. It’s ridiculous I have to buy a whole new device when the battery wears out. A Li-Ion battery lasts three years, I can easily get double that off the device itself. It’s anti-consumer and bad for the environment, replacing a whole device and disposing of it rather than replacing the battery.
Yes, I had to replace battery on 2-3year old iPhone same years ago. And also had battery issues after 3 years on my previous android phone.
Once replaced the iPhone battery on a non apple approved repair shop, it wasn’t good for long. Whatever it was due to the repair shop putting a cheap battery or Apple scumbagery I have no idea.
