They'll overnight a postage-paid box to you, and have it back to you in less than a week.
Done by professionals/specialists at Apple (not some kid in a mall kiosk).
Genuine Apple battery with a one-year warranty, and my experience - you will not be able to tell it was pried open, and will probably seal to original specs.
They'll also do a full diagnostic as part of the deal, and if they do damage it; they'll fix or replace it.

iPhone 7. Yeah, I use it for music storage and Apple Music player with bluetooth thru my home stereo system, in my car, or with a mobile bluetooth speaker. And - iheart radio; I can get radio stations throughout the US (but not WVLG - go figur).


Iphone 7 about 2 years ago was $60, postage both ways included w/tracking.

In this environment I bet apple farms it out to subcontractors? Normally IMO nothing wrong with that if they control quality control.
