I looked on the Apple USA website and for you guys battery replacements are between USD49 and USD69. As is the case here in NZ they also state that if you bring it into an authorised service center they will try to do the repair while you wait. NZ prices are a couple of dollars dearer. Hardly expensive.
As an alternative I looked at just one local Apple specialist repair shop here in NZ, they are a little dearer than Apple NZ but not much and they normally expect to turn the phone around within 1 hour if dropped in (30minutes to 1hour turn arounds for battery, screen and other simple component replacement are typical here) or if couriered to them return overnight if 1 hour available to perform the repair on day of receipt.
I've checked out some of Apples other repair costs and they don't seem to be screwing anybody with those either as far as I can see. Much in line with others. So your "only time" and reference to "possible lawsuit" comment also seems way out of line.
Do you just make up this negative stuff up that you have been posting about obsolescence, time for repairs and costs for repair? Because it doesn't seem like you have checked the reality before hitting your keyboard.
EDIT: I should note that I don't use Apple products and never have. So I have no reason to act as an Apple fanboy in any defense of them. So just relating the facts.
