What does a battery replacement have anything to do with a cracked screen?
If someone brings in an iPhone with a damaged or cracked screen, of course, Apple is going to charge extra for that damage repair if they can't get the screen back on.
No one here is talking about damaged screen iPhones get batteries replaced.
Why must you always go off-topic all the time.
How is it "off-topic" when the topic is "iPhone Battery Replacement"? It may be obvious to you, but it's not obvious to everyone else that cracked glass (where the phone otherwise works) incurs an additional repair cost in order to replace the battery. There are bound to be people (perhaps reading this topic) who might walk into an Apple Store with an appointment to replace a 6 Plus battery, and then balk when told that $29 battery service now requires a full-retail $169 glass replacement service. I've read about it and heard it from an Apple Store employee, but Apple doesn't mention it in their main iPhone battery replacement pages.

So anyone with a cracked screen who just "lives with it", think about the additional cost before getting an appointment to replace the battery.
