    It’s not cemented into the chassis lol, Apple replaces it for $99 or you can just buy the part from ‘em and replace it yourself.

      Yes the batteries are cemented into the chassis :D The last 3 times I tried to use the pull tabs they added they simply broke before the battery was out.

        I mean, that sucks for you but pull-tabs are considered ‘repair-friendly’ by pretty much everyone in the Right to Repair movement.

          I believe they might work for a bit of time, but with usage and eat they probably go bad and end up breaking. If you see on YouTube Rossman and others they’ve similar experiences.

                  Or simply avid that BS all together and hold batteries in place with screws and/or a simple metal slab holding it in place.

                    If they can do that without increasing the phone’s size/thickness or compromising its performance and/or battery life, I’d be all for it.
