We all know how this goes and where it will lead to. I wholeheartedly agree with @jogihara on this on. We NEED the Right to Repair now. Since this does not seem to be happening as expeditiously as each one of us would like it to be, we should at least think about workarounds. I do not have one of the iPhone X batteries available but I wonder if there really is a BQ27546-G1 (or similar)TI IC on it. I do think that this is most likely where the software reads and prevents a successful change of the battery. Has anybody yet done a teardown of the battery to look at the circuitry and components involved? I doubt that removing the TI IC from a failed battery and transplanting it to an exchange battery would be viable (maybe @refectio would be up to doing some soldering for us ;-). What about removing the complete board from the battery and transplanting it? @jogihara @kristen iFixit have some blocked phones available that show the “Service” message? Would you all consider giving that a try as a workaround? Due to a “challenge” in answers I am currently studying the circuitry and other properties of these batteries and am seriously trying to figure out if a HDQ communication device would help us out with this [http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/sluub74/sluub74.pdf|TI datasheet]. @refectio @arbaman @salvagedcircuit what do you guys think? It will not get better and we need to be involved in finding solutions to combat the greed and monopoly of all of these companies. The worst thing to do is to adopt a “does not affect me” attitude. Here is my battle cry “'''Repair Is War On Entropy!!!!'''” Yes, I know to much coffee this late in the evening but you all know what I mean.
