Bloody hell I called every Apple Service Providers all over the country from North to South, East to West, none of the store picks up phone. I just want to ask whether there is any SST charges if getting Mac or Iphone batteries replaced after 1st September? Anyone knows here?

Yea normally once you send into the service center, the price they charge gonna be expensive. Its Apple product So either you go out and change from a third party service center or pay that amount

Say someone paid the MacBook Air 11" for RM2600 brand new. The battery is one of the 3 most important component that keep the Mac running, besides the logicboard and display. If we split the unit up part-by-part, the battery replacement cost RM600-700 is merely 20~25% of what the whole Mac cost. Expensive? Maybe a matter of perspective. If you are not paying for quality parts when you purchase the Mac. What else you paying for? The logo?
