More info from The Verge which also mentions Samsung's new repair provider Encompass.

Most importantly, Samsung has only ever shipped batteries to iFixit that are preglued to an entire phone screen — making consumers pay over $160 even if they just want to replace a worn-out battery pack. That’s something Samsung doesn’t do with other vendors, according to Wiens. Meanwhile, iFixit’s iPhone and Pixel batteries cost more like $50.

Lol

Leaked documents from Samsung

What logic does Samsung think that it's a good idea to destroy an entire phone just because of it using a third party part.

Company shall immediately disassemble all products that are created or assembled out of, comprised of, or that contain any Service Parts not purchased from Samsung

WTF let's see a motherfucker try doing some shit like that to me.
