Is Apple blocking third-party batteries out of genuine consideration for users, or is it overbearing marketing?

Apple phones are probably the hottest stars in the mobile phone market, so much so that all other mobile phones are jealous. In fact, despite the prosperity and diversity of the mobile phone market, with a wide variety of brands and models, Apple alone has a higher profit than all other mobile phone manufacturers combined!

So this is also the reason why Apple has become a large company with a market value of over one trillion US dollars. It can be summed up in two words: "very and extremely rich!" Of course, we won’t talk about this rich man here, let’s talk about the issue of third-party batteries! It has become a hot topic among people recently.

There is a health value in Apple phones. When the battery life is about to end or the health value is reduced, the phone will slow down. This should be a conventional method adopted by the system to stabilize the battery life. Therefore, replacing the battery of the phone can improve its performance. This magical battery actually first appeared on the PSP handheld game console. If you are interested, you can go and learn about it.

Because the batteries of Apple phones are relatively small, many third parties have started to target the batteries, and many people choose to replace them. In fact, I think the difficulty of replacing the battery is only higher than applying a screen protector. A tech geek like me can just buy a battery online and easily replace it when he comes back.

In fact, I can replace the screen, as long as it is a screen assembly with a frame! Replace the speaker, replace the camera, replace the motherboard, in short, as long as it is not soldered on the motherboard, I can replace it! (You can just admire it in your heart, and it’s okay to give a thumbs up.)

Anyway, they are all lithium batteries, so how big can the difference be? But Apple does not allow users to replace third-party batteries privately. Of course, you can use it after installing it, but you can't see the battery information and health value (the powerful Huaqiangbei should have a solution later!) I just don't know if it will be deliberately downgraded after installation, affecting the overall performance of the phone (just a guess!)

Of course, Apple's official explanation is that this is to make users safer. After all, third-party batteries vary in quality and may pose safety risks. Lithium batteries are more active and are more likely to spontaneously combust or explode. Once this happens, who will bear the responsibility?

Moreover, Apple's outlets are all over the world, and it is very simple to replace the battery officially. It's just a little more expensive. If you have bought a mobile phone worth 5,000 or 6,000 yuan, will you still care about the battery replacement fee of several hundred yuan? Besides, the official replacement service will not affect other after-sales services, so you don't have to worry about it yourself!

But what about some people who like to do it themselves? For example, Doudoujun, that kind of desire is something that ordinary people cannot understand. It is obvious that Apple does not allow such a thing to happen. In fact, it is not just batteries, but also many other things, such as chargers, data cables, and other peripheral products, including third-party repair services.

For example, in the iPhone 6S era, many people complained about the lack of space on the phone. Since the price difference between 32G and 64G could reach more than a thousand yuan, some people began to use third-party capacity expansion services, which could be achieved at a very low price. Of course, they were eventually hit by Apple.

In fact, this phenomenon exists in many mobile phone brands. If you disassemble the phone privately, or find a third party to provide services, or even root the phone, you will lose the warranty service. But after all, Apple is well-known, and the prices of after-sales services and accessories are relatively high, so it is often complained about! In fact, in order to increase the freedom of choice of users, it can be authorized to a third party.

It is obviously unlikely to say that there is no selfish motive at all. After all, Apple has opened so many after-sales outlets to provide various services, but you go to a third-party service. Aren’t the rent, shop, water, electricity and labor costs free? This is the same as 4S stores. After-sales service is also a profit channel.

It's like two people. Since you chose me, how can you find a third party? Even if I am not good enough, I will not allow you to do that. You said you would never regret it in your life, but you cheated halfway! I can only say that the relationship between Apple and its users is very much like love. So do you think Apple's blocking of third-party batteries is out of consideration for user safety, or is it an overbearing marketing method to prevent resources from being shared by third parties?
