Well if you're already dropping R20k to R30k into an iPhone every year I don't think this will bother you.

Oh no! And all the while Samsung, Hauwei, Google and OnePlus are slashing their prices accross the board! Its madness i tell you madness!

Guess they have to make up for the loss of not being able to sell gold plated charging cables any more.

iPhone isn't for peasants - it's like buying a Porsche and complaining about fuel. Go buy a Nokia, Lazarus.

You shouldn’t even be replacing an iPhone battery in the first place. Once your battery goes just buy a new iPhone and stop mucking around. Who wants to be using an iPhone with a broken seal. Yuck.
