The only "authorized" centers are the carriers, like Verizon. But they don't put batteries in iPhones. They tell me to go to an Apple Store or local repair shop. None of the local shops carry the Apple batteries. If they did, I'm sure they would charge the same as Apple at $8[emoji646]. So I either get a $5[emoji646] off brand battery locally, or mail it to Apple for the $29.99 deal. The closest Apple Store is about 75 or 8[emoji646] miles away. There's only 2 Apple Stores in Alabama. Huntsville and Birmingham. What with Tim Cook being from Alabama, one would think we would get more love. LOL
