    "Apple faced criticism for years over its resistance to 3rd-party repairs."

    "Fortunately, pressure has pushed Apple to open up repair manuals
    and parts to anyone, and the company will soon offer better support
    for more affordable third-party components, extending the lifespan
    of devices that consumers feel would continue to operate perfectly
    fine so long as they could replace a certain part, like a cracked
    camera or display."

    "Apple has begun selling replacement parts including cameras, displays,
    and batteries for its latest iPhone. The company, long resistant to
    customers repairing their own devices, has been making it easier
    following years of pressure from repairability advocates like iFixit."

    Given Apple puts the crappiest batteries they can in iPhones, you'll want
    to rent from Apple the specialized tools to conduct the battery repair.
