    wonder how apple will react to this. lack of user repairability is a considerable source of revenue for them.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to do the same thing as the printer companies. and install authentication chips in the battery modules so that only official apple batteries could be installed in Apple devices - then sell their batteries at marked up prices
