Apple is using scare tactics to dissuade users from using third-party battery replacement services
FirstpostThe OS apparently looks for a specific microcontroller on the battery before authorising it. Apple has apparently activated a software switch that tries to scare users off third-party battery repair services. Unlike previous instances where Apple would brick an iPhone that used third-party parts, using a third-party battery or getting a third-party repair vendor to replace your iPhone’s battery with one from another iPhone throws up a warning that the battery is not genuine. If you’re up to the task, swapping out battery microcontrollers is an option, but it’s not a feasible option for most users or repair shops. While Apple hasn’t gone as far as to disable an iPhone for using a third-party battery, these scare tactics are a little disturbing.
