Reply to comment by nitroben2 in Battery replacement nightmare by NoSoulRequired

>replacement iphone battery

doing this exact search brings up info about doing it yourself. this is not what OP was looking for. so at that point anyone would search a different term. if you (not exactly you but "you") are the type to search one term, not find what you were looking for and say oh well, then you should just step away from the internet and crawl back under your rock. but also going to the ifixit page that comes up from this search has info right at the beginning of the instructions talking about his exact complaint. so again, a few minutes with google and the info can be had. let's also not forget he came to this forum to complain. something most people do not know to do. but he did it. and had he spent some time with reddit's search function, he probably could have gotten the info right from this sub.

Search results are different for different people. On my try i got the obvious link to apple, some diy stuff, and mail in third parties. I also could have searched "phone repair" in maps and just looked up local shops. My point being, there's lots of ways to search for a battery replacement without turning up warnings about the perils of non-genuine parts.

Then due diligence is not being done and you get what you get. I can’t feel sorry for people that don’t do that then complain. Because they are lots of ways to search and come up with the correct information. (Forest Gump voice) That’s all i have to say on that.
