South Korean Court Dismisses iPhone Users' $1.6 Million 'Batterygate' Lawsuit

[Pezimak]

I never gave a "history" of anything. I stated what I did and what people were probably doing wrong about getting their battery changed. Again, you pay Apple to swap batteries, they're not losing out on this deal. It's asinine to think that they'd turn you away unless you went in complaining about your phone being slow or some other drivel and they ran diag on it and found nothing wrong. If you specifically go in and tell them you need your battery swapped, they have never, in my experience as well as many people I know, refused.

Yet many on here say they did refuse to change the battery. So your assumption is incorrect. And it was Apples own diagnostics software which stated there was no fault with the battery, thus they would not replace it. Even when people asked for it. Seems like you got lucky or had the battery changed after the scandal was exposed? If you Google there is just so much out there about this topic, but I think the endless law suites, government investigations, consumer rights investigations and government fines against Apple speak for themselves. Must have cost Apple about a billion dollars in fines and repairs.

A removable battery does not need to make the phone less water resistant. The Insta360 cameras have removable batteries and they even work under water.

It’s also made out of cheap plastic..

Apple should have communicated this better but really the whole situation was overblown. I’m glad this was dismissed.

You're missing the point. I've never had a diag run on a device. You tell them the battery won't hold a charge and they don't question it. The 4s was way before the stupidity. The 6s was after and, again, no diag run, just changed the battery.

Well as I’ve said multiple times now, when the scandal was in place Apple would not replace batteries with their diagnostics software stating it needed replacing first, if you had yours changed during that time several years ago, you were lucky. Many many people stated this.

No many people stated they went in because of aberrant behavior from their device. They had a diag run which came back all green. Because it was operating as Apple designed it to. A battery fault doesn't come back until it's severely degraded.
