The procedure to get an iphone battery replaced is to make an appointment at the apple store and they swap it out as you wait.

That's great if you live near an Apple Store, but only 25 countries have Apple Stores and half of those only have 1-3 stores for the whole country.

Then you can go to an AASP.

Or spend 15-30 minutes replacing it yourself?

Does the technician change battery before your eyes? Didn't happen when I went to AASP and anything can happen in that room they do their work.

Maybe we know a technician we trust, who can repair iPhone before our eyes, but alas independent repair shops doesn't get Apple love[1].
