> An OEM battery for an Android phone is like $50.

I've done four or five battery replacements on various Pixel phones, each time battery was 15$ max. I've done the replacement myself, but I know that in an (unauthorized, obviously) repair shop the work costs maybe 10-15$ and takes twenty minutes. The math is the same for iPhones, maybe 10$ more.

69-99$ is an "Authorized Apple Service" tax.

I really don’t like this “unauthorised” language - when you change light, washing machine or the whole kitchen in your house, so we cal it ‘unauthorised?’ Both are your property

Unauthorised by the warranty agreement. Applies to near every consumer electronics product, for frankly quite obvious reasons.
