Hyperbole. To do it correctly you need a lot of tools which companies like Apple have made it very difficult to obtain. The risk of damaging the device is high for the average person.
I get that the majority of people here on Lemmy are likely to be more tech savvy than the average person, I don’t think we should set the precedent of exaggerated comments, we don’t want to become Reddit.
You start a sentence with hyperbole and then go into an outright lie.

You now own every single tool needed to replace an iPhone battery. They are absolutelty not difficult to obtain.
I mean I get it. Most of us here are tech savvy and capable. Would I tell my mom to do this herself? My girlfriend? 75% of people on the street? No to all the above. But don't come in here and say something as blatantly false as "Apple has made [a lot of tools] difficult to obtain". That is a bald faced lie and you do a bigger disservice to your argument when you add such a statement to it.
