The problem with Apple is that the iPhone is tied to the phone
service. Do you need a second cell phone when the iPhone is out for
"maintance service"? Or, should every customer buys two iPhones?
Perhaps that's the goal of Apple.
As others have pointed out, it is quite odd that Apple doesn't make the
battery swap something that can be performed at their stores... you go in,
hand the guy your iPhone, come back an hour later, and -- poof! -- new battery
installed, no significant impact due to being without phone service. (Anyone
whose life is disrupted by a planned phone outage of an hour *does* need two
phones. :-) ) Hopefully Apple will wisen up and take that course... perhaps
they figure they couldn't immediately due to the need to train techs or
something?
No, it's purely for the money. They can train someone to solder in a
couple of hours, if they really want to.
