My iPhone 13's are still not here yet...
Soon, I promise. Next video will be out before next Sunday.

And all of these scams could be prevented, if manufactures sold replacement parts directly and made their products serviceble

[lroche]

European Union has now imposed that if manufacturers want to sell here they have to make easy for customers to change batteries and retrieve old ones.

It amazes me how these phone companies claim to go green and yet all they want is to increase their profits. Selling a new phone is all they want. The real reason behind making it harder to replace the battery yourself.

Good, I found your video while searching for a battery replacement for my iPhone 7 and I am very glad I did. I live in the US and like you, we are just inundated with these all over eBay and Amazon claiming every kind of "TGTBT" claim. You just saved me from getting scammed so I just ordered one through your US storefront. Thanks for saving me and many DIY'ers from one more scam

It's so hard to source original batteries for phones. Effectively it's planned obsolesence. We need law where manufacturers have to provide spares at reasonable price for 10 years or something like that. It's protecting consumers and the environment.

Lifting up that 2017 sticker and seeing 2010 just sums it all up! Classic!!

Love your vids. So interesting and honest. You cover topics that are diverse. With your help I hope to finally have the confidence to replace the old, almost dead, battery on my old Galaxy S8 for my 10 year old grandson andv6 year old granddaughter to play on.
I really could not afford to get it done at a shop.
I think I will enjoy having a go.
Thank you.

I bought a "high capacity" battery for my iPhone 6s in China many years ago. It didn't make any outrageous claims, I think it was just 10% more than the original. It worked like a treat, and easily got me through a full day in Beijing's harsh winters, where the original battery gave up after a few minutes.
So, I guess it is all down to luck.

Imagine not being allowed to change the battery's in your remote control . Vote for RIGHT TO REPAIR!

[OfficialBeaverYT]

That Samsung battery you don’t want belongs to a Note7 N930F, so yeah, definitely avoid that one, thanks for the video Hugh, too many fall for these scams so it’s good to unearth their scrupulous practices :)

[speedeespeedboi]

ok but where do you buy good batteries?

[DeetexSeraphine]

Excellent video. Combustibg lithium batteries keep me up at night, so I'm very glad to see some sensible advice being spread.

[YearsOfLeadPoisoning]

Gold coloured batteries last 90% longer, that's just science.

[morzh]

It is stunning how simple battery swap nowadays could qualify as "repair" and should have to do something with "Right to Repair" initiative.

[artysanmobile]

Hugh, you are doing the YouTube community a tremendous service. To some of us, this is not news, but to the majority it is. Keep up the good work!

[edwardgilmour]

Very sound presentation there are plenty who will do that.
When I worked at Qld Main roads as a P3 engineer working on product approvals;
I noticed the amount of un-tested and non-approved product creeping into the Qld Main-roads network.
I reported my suspicion to management then to the CMC and they referred it back to TMR for investigation;
Snow job investigation ! the Evidence I'd collected wasn't looked at as they had some other agenda?
I got added to Premier Campbell Newman's 22, 000 public service cull & haven't worked since.

[CharlieTechie]

The right to repair is so important, States must take a stand to support legislation to allow people to fix products they own with legitimate OEM parts and thereby shutting down the fake parts sellers. This in not just electronics or batteries; It includes mechanical parts for appliances, cars, and farm equipment.

[SNIVY]

Yes! Right to repair should be everywhere, I'm really hoping it starts spreading more and more

[glenysattrell]

Totally agree phones should be able to replace batteries. It is such a throw away world in this day and age.
