iPhones with aftermarket batteries installed by third-party repair shops are now eligible for service at Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers, reports MacRumors. The site obtained an internal document confirming the change after it was first reported by iGen.fr.This is significant news for iPhone repairs, as the Genius Bar and AASPs were previously instructed to deny service of any kind for an iPhone with a third-party battery, regardless of the circumstances.
Service technicians are instructed to ignore the battery and continue as normal if the repair is unrelated. If the repair is related to the battery, it can be replaced with an official Apple battery for the standard fee.
