1 year agoI don’t like Apple but battery is the one thing I wouldn’t mess around with and buy from a cheap 3rd party vendor. Batteries tend to go boom and if it’s a cheap knock-off you increase your chances. Since it will be law we will most likely get a bunch of 3rd party vendors, I would maybe see myself buying from an established battery manufacturer but not from a quick Amazon search or from the small repair shop on the corner.
OK this happens in Switzerland, yeah, I don’t think they have any chance. If it would have been in the US, maybe but in Europe, it’s a lot harder if you want to bully another company.
