That's kind of...

Back in the day I remember the MacBook Pro’s would give all sorts of errors if you weren’t using an official battery, Dell and HP too. I mean it’s one thing if there are no options other than to take it to Apple but it’s another all together if they offer the ability for you to buy the official batteries off the Apple store.
Yes and what I was clumsily saying is what if they sell pre certified batteries from their web store that work out the gate that had some sort of pre-voodo already applied.The article clearly says that even OEM batteries will have this message if not installed with Apple Voodoo magic.

I feel like I never see, what I would call, a positive story about Apple
I know other companies also suck (FB, Google etc.) however Apple always seem to come across as mean spirited assholes
On this forum? Of course. So [H] we all use the same thing.
This forum also praised Samsung for purposefully bricking all Note 7 phones by remotely disabling charging. Even though only like 40 phones were reported to have caught fire. 40 out of 2+ million. And they were all disabled. And we praised it. Consumer choice indeed.
Call me an a-hole but i'm fine with this. Apple has a reputation and people throwing trash batteries in old phones soil that.
I had a friend get his screen replaced on an iphone 7 at some highly rated chain of repair shops. The screen they put on there was absolute garbage, even the refresh rate was off. Scrolling just on the home screen between pages was choppy and jerky, the touch digitizer had terrible accuracy. After he got it fixed he sold it on craigslist. If whoever bought that phone hasn't had an iphone before, they are seriously going to wonder how they compete with samsung, and will likely never buy apple again. There goes a customer, thanks to some shitty repair shop in a strip mall.

Why should you care what other people do to their own stuff? As to people selling repaired items. Well, the buyer has a chance to try it out. If they don't like how it works they don't buy it or they get a refund if they bought it online.
Lol the message about battery health will be displayed even if a genuine battery is used. Also when you pay 50$ to replace a screen that normally cost 200$ from the OEM, you're either plain stupid thinking you get a genuine screen or you accept the trade offs of using jobber P/N. I admit that all the LCD I replaced felt the same as the original, the draw back was that they were more fragile.
Again, they should have used a different wording but I guess the current wording was precisely chosen to induce fear or more accurately deception so only Apple can repair Apple product properly using fairy dust and unicorn particles.
Please watch a few video from Louis Rossman, he revewed a refurbished Apple board that was "fixed" with some rubber glued on the IC (The IC failure known by everyone) and after please tell me how good they're ... (Ready to get the typical "How can you be sure it was done by Apple" reply).
Anywayyyyy, if you love your Apple products and eco-system, fine. It could be better but I understand brand loyalty.
They might not know how it works.
Watching his video now, and he's quite biased and unfortunately, completely false. China can print whatever the hell part number they want on this Chinese junk he buys in wholesale for his business. He establishes he uses the part number to distinguish apple parts.
You don't see a problem here? He strait up admits he doesn't have any way to factually check those parts.

Louis is the most bias idiot on youtube. Calls Apple unreliable garbage when 90% of his repairs are water damage.
I saw one where he was complaining about hardware encryption of the solid state drive and how horrible it was that you could replace the hardware that does the encryption (T2 chip) and not have a perfectly accessible SSD after. I was wondering if I was missing something....
In one video he actually outlined a not too uncommon scenario where those methods would not work and thus your data was toast.There are tons of recovery options, Louis just ignores them because he’s ignorant. You can transfer data using either the lifeboat connector or USB-C ports to clone the device or drive using AppleID.
Then if it is running right what difference does it make?

There are no new OEM Apple batteries, they are either fake or recovered from damaged phones and had their EEPROM chips wiped to hide age data.
You will only get a genuine, new battery from Apple directly for almost the same price anyway so the argument is stupid.
Louis is just pissed he cant flog off his fake batteries which continually get seized because they fake the Apple logo.
Have you watched his videos? His gripes with Apple are that they are actively making it hard to repair devices and sacrificing reliability for aesthetics. He always calls out user stupidity when it happens, even acknowledging that liquid damage is the most common repair he does. One of his axioms is, "The only thing worse than Apple devices are Apple users." Take out half an hour and watch one of his board repair videos instead of just one of his 10-minute soapbox videos.Louis is the most bias idiot on youtube.

EDIT: Even better, CAR BATTERIES... need to go to dealer to swap the battery because euh only them can do it properly. Sorry I get startled quickly when it's Apple
My 300 has the battery in the trunk beneath the spare tire.Actually, I had a Buick that required you to take off the front passenger wheel to remove the battery. I did it once, and I was thinking I was going to be a headline the whole time I was tugging it out. After that it went to a shop...
My last Mustang didn't have a fluid reservoir for the transmission. The manual stated the transmission was sealed and didn't need servicing, yet the maintenance schedule said transmission oil needed to be checked and replaced every 30,000 miles. So which is it, Ford? It's as bad, if not worse, than cars coming with no dipstick to check engine oil...Actually, I had a Buick that required you to take off the front passenger wheel to remove the battery.

There is always the classic example of the northstar engine with the starter inside the valley between the pistons. Mind boggling.

i think they meant it when they glued the covers.
sooo.... whats the fuss now? Enjoy your apple.
Don't like it? vote with your money.
but is it waterproof now? I doubt.It is not glue, it is an adhesive seal for its IP rating, before that everyone was bitching that Apple had not water resistance so which one do you want because you can’t have both.
Consumers are such idiots, want the world but don’t want to compromise on anything. Waaaa why doesn’t Apple have wireless charging, Apple puts in wireless charging and a glass back so it can work, then people bitch about how fragile it is when it was fine before.
Irrelevant... all lithium batteries are dangerous and from time to time unforeseen issues may arise from age, environment etc.
Just because an OEM battery can fail, doesn’t mean knock off batteries are as safe or safer. Many fake batteries have no thermal protection, short circuit protection etc.
Yes there are probably some China manufacturers who make a decent knockoff but why the hell would you take the risk with no legal recourse.
I get knockoffs, but what about the guy who took out a battery out of a new phone and placed into another iphone and got the same exact message?
but is it waterproof now? I doubt.
then go ahead and throw it into hot bath.No phone is waterproof, it is water resistant with an IP rating and yes the iPhone well exceeds its rating and competitors.

Water resistant typically means if accidents happen hopefully it’s not fucked. It doesn’t mean go swimming with your phone/just chuck it into a bath.then go ahead and throw it into hot bath.
