I do not like that move either, but let me play the devils advocate in this particular case:
Imagine your friendly neighborhood independent repair shop turns out to be a shoody place, and replaces your old and tired Apple Genuine battery with a Galaxy note 7 Class battery...
If something, anything happens, who will get the bad publicity, bad reps and possible lawsuits?
Will the press hold off sensationalist headlines until mnore info is known? Will you admit not doing and original repair? Will the shoody place p
If Apple didn't have a history of screwing over their customers with similar practices then maybe I could give them the benefit of the doubt. But Apple has pretty much always been this way. The original Mac had essentially no expansion built in and required warranty breaking modifications, it also had the cathode of the display exposed right above the motherboard. Be sure not to kill yourself if you open it up!
Yeah no, Apple wants you to buy a new device every year and if you have to get it serviced they are going to do as much as they can to make sure its them who service it.
