What people want is a low cost third party shop to replace batteries

People have had that for years (including a sub-$100 device to copy the TrueTone ID for the screen and battery info for the battery).

Every small mall I can think of had a kiosk that would do it in an hour while you shopped. (Eastern MA, US.)

I’m just a consumer and have replaced 3 iPhone batteries myself and am doing a 4th later today.

Maybe you could create one, by failing to return the repair kit and forfeiting your $1200 deposit?
