Changing the battery involves removing the screen ? Stupid idea ! I
suppose it'll happen in digital cameras soon.

Subject: Re: [OM] OT: iphone battery replacement
Thanks, Moose. I should had mentioned that I'd already checked that.
I'm not on the list of eligible serial numbers.
According to further research, Apple stores do a battery replacement for
about $80. There is some difference of opinion as to whether they do it to
your own phone, or give you a refurb. The places here in Seattle will
replace a battery for ~$50. The kits on Amazon are between about
$10 and $30, plus some more expensive ones that are discounted on Prime and
appear physically identical to the $20-$30 kits.
I've seen the online instructions, and I'm confident about my ability to
replace the battery. But if I'm going to take my phone apart, which
involves removing and replacing the glass screen, I want to do it only once.
So I don't want to risk getting an old battery masquerading as new. It's
hard to tell from "customer reviews" whether a given person genuinely
received a bad battery, or couldn't do the replacement properly and is now
blaming the seller.
