The battery will still function but you won't be able to see its health status.

Thanks to those who shilled hard for these devious methods just for the sake of having a good looking toy.

A few years later, companies will be charging 100+ dollars for replacing batteries that only cost 50 usd or less.

Then you have the gall to preach about environmental conservation on social media. Using gadgets built like this.

          Eventually a big chunk of Apple users would find it beneficial to move to a subscription model.

                  Yes by forcing you to by more from Apple and monopolising on there profits and then they can slow your phone down so you can get a new battery or phone lol

                        This is why I don't like Apple. Is something like this necessary?

                          Anonymous, 09 Aug 2019its still working like normal , only didnt give information... morebut even original Apple batteries will not show info. just because the swap process is not handled by Apple, seriously?

                              mark, 09 Aug 2019i heard a lot of this comment years ago. LOl and yet apple ... moreApple stopped relying on iPhones and their profits dropped heavily last year, so they compensated this by increasing the price if the iPhone

                              The ironclad empire of Nokia and Blackberry came down trembling, the only place where Apple is relevant is USA , they lost market share in China , which is their biggest market and also in middle East and also in Western European countries like Germany and Uk

                              The trembling will definitely continue, they were dethroned to 17 in the most innovative companies in 2018, from first place.

                              Their only refuge is USA and even in USA 23% apple owners ayats their next phone is Android

                              Watch out Rome is slowly burning down Sheep
