I wonder how apple will react to this
Probably voiding warranty for any phone that has its battery replaced by the user instead of having it done at an apple store/apple vertified store. Or some good old planned obsolescence where the phone detects a replacement battery and just stops working as fast as it used to. Anything to get people to buy the next new iphone every year.
I don't think Apple really want to be caught to do somenthing they are already been condemned for, at least not in EU...
