And this is something we don't want. Battery should be replaced with no special tools other than regular screwdriver or simillar.
You don't seem to know it, but you're arguing against your point that you "need no technical expertise"
You don’t seem to know it, but nebulous jargon like ‘technical expertise’ can be applied to anything like using a microwave so Apple includes instructions. Not seeing how this invalidates their point
They provided a kit and step by step instructions. It remains to be seen how they handle it, but don’t be surprised if they argue they already comply if that’s how the language of the law is written.
The tagline is literally “I’m starting to think Apple doesn’t want us to repair them”.
also having watched SnazzyLabs do this swap, it’s complicated and you’ll need to contact Apple to deal with code changes.
And I literally said in my comment that it’s a pain in the ass. That’s not the point, what “technical expertise” means is.
