The only drawback to a third-party battery is that they are all garbage now. There was once a time when good third-party batteries were a thing, but that time is gone.
Even the Ifixit ones? If so what makes them garbage? Thank you for your response too
Ifixit appear to be sourcing theirs from the same place as everyone else. It's not like there's a secret "good aftermarket battery" factory and only they know how to source from it.
Okay, we’ll I ordered it about 8hrs ago if I find problems with it I’ll get it refunded. Thank you
Right out of the box I'm sure it'll look fine. The trouble comes months down the line when it begins to lose capacity much more quickly than an original battery would. Watch the capacity with a program like Coconut Battery and be careful that the warranty doesn't run out.
Yea that’s was my plan, if it drops a silly amount in 9 months I’ll probs just get a refund and get apple to do it or something. Could get lucky and get a really good one so both ways kinda works out for me.
