Some time ago, it broke out on the Internet that Apple began to ban the iPhone from replacing third-party batteries. If it is detected that the iPhone is not original, the system will pop up "iPhone battery is not original, battery information is not available". In other words, once you check that your battery is not original from Apple, the function of "battery health" will be turned off, and you will not be able to check the battery life.
For Apple's move, many people think that Apple is trying to "force" the third-party battery exchange business to increase revenue. In fact, although Apple's mobile phone gives a pop-up prompt, even if the third-party battery is replaced, it does not actually affect the use. It's just that this operation of Apple still makes many people feel uncomfortable.
Recently, Apple also gave an official response to this matter. Apple said that we attach great importance to the safety of users and will make such measures. Because Apple can't be sure that every battery is replaced by technicians according to Apple's process, if users use damaged, poor quality or old batteries, it may cause safety problems. The use of unauthorized batteries by users does not affect the use of mobile phone functions.
On August 15, Apple responded that it was forbidden to replace the battery by a third party, and it would shield the iPhone battery replaced by a third party, saying that this was to protect users from damage and inferior batteries. Previously, Apple activated the "hibernation software lock" in the iOS system, and the battery was replaced by a third party. IPhone will pop up a warning message, and the battery health function cannot be used normally, but it will not affect other functions. Users spit out that Apple deprived them of the right to freely use third-party batteries, and Apple's official battery replacement price was more expensive.
At present, Apple has stepped up its practice of banning third-party brand batteries. To put it bluntly, it is still for the benefit. After all, the service of replacing batteries is also well known. However, can Apple completely block the batteries of third-party brands? You know, Huaqiang North's technical strength is still very strong, and it is not difficult to crack Apple's restrictions.
Undoubtedly, Apple's restriction on users to replace third-party brand batteries not only hurts the user experience, but also is very overbearing and suspected of infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
