All those points got debunked in the comments. As for that thing with the batteries -- you can't blame people for buying illegally imported and/or counterfeit [citation needed] parts when there is no legal way to obtain them outside of AARP.
Oh yeah also, stuff like this is the reason why Apple is a two trillion dollar company.
He is. Just watch the webcam video.
>you can't blame people for buying illegally imported
It’s only illegal to import counterfeit parts.
>there is no legal way to obtain them outside of AARP
It is perfectly legal to buy generic replacement parts without apple logos, but the chinese factories don’t find it worth their time to produce such as “authentic” parts earn them more money.

These things have nothing to do with each other, but I rather doubt that you even read Apples financial statements.
Where previously they could have third parties remove cracked glass from broken screens and re-laminate them to make legitimate refurb parts. However, these were deemed unauthorized refurbs (but not illegal/unlawful to make) so instead they used the logos on cables as justification to have customs seize them as "counterfeits" on behalf of trademark enforcement.
