Don't trust any Traders on TM saying any Apple part is Genuine as I can tell you now it's BS

Linux

I didn't think Apple ever sold their genuine parts.  To get an 'official' Apple repair they would swap your device out for a refurbished one.   In that case there is never any such thing as a 'genuine' Apple part?    

Ok, how many people here have had their iphone batteries changed without sending to Apple? Thanks

So do we dump a $1500 phone every 1-3 years?

I downloaded a free app called "battery life" it tells you how much charge is left in mv. how much life is left in the battery and other things works on iPad and iPhone

That's the way the manufacturers want it to work yes, and after 3 years it's only a $200 phone.  By that point pretty much nothing to lose so after-market may be perfectly adequate to extend the life a bit longer. Probably come from the same factory even.  

Aftermarket worries me because of fire risk (or am I being paranoid). I had a cheap Samsung galaxy battery and man it cook cook an egg. Very close to ignition point of whatever's in there.

Products sold in nz have to be safe. I presume there is some government department in charge of checking products and policing it all, to keep kiwis safe.

I doubt it ... who goes around checking every electrical item brand and model in every shop and every website and every ...

You would hope they would be at least testing sample batches, rather than relying on these cheap overseas manufacturers word of mouth.

Aren't retailers supposed to have Supplier certification of conformity for electrical products they sell. Although not sure on batteries, as they are low voltage, and maybe considered low risk.
