You now own every single tool needed to replace an iPhone battery. They are absolutelty not difficult to obtain.

I mean I get it. Most of us here are tech savvy and capable. Would I tell my mom to do this herself? My girlfriend? 75% of people on the street? No to all the above. But don't come in here and say something as blatantly false as "Apple has made [a lot of tools] difficult to obtain". That is a bald faced lie and you do a bigger disservice to your argument when you add such a statement to it.
