230$ for a battery!! They have lost their minds lol.

Well, still better than 1000$ for a new iPhone because you can't replace it yourself, Apple won't do it for almost the price of a new phone and they lock 3rd party batteries with serialization :) and you can buy 3rd party batteries for a fraction of the cost. What matters is that 1) you can replace the battery - no glued, soldered bs and 2) they actually sell them.

Apple charges $99 for a battery replacement.

Yeah I agree, it's better to be able to change them than not.

Either way that price point still hurts for a battery (when an original standard enterprise laptop battery is usually less than half the price)
