iFixit Drops DIY iPhone Battery Replacement Kits to $29, Matching Apple's Apology Price
iFixit has dropped the price of its do-it-yourself iPhone battery replacement kits to $29—or less—matching or beating the apology price for in-store replacement Apple announced Thursday.

Apple has chosen to emphasize slim form factors and tight tolerances over easy-to-repair designs.
