iFixDallas primarily uses high-quality replacement parts that meet or exceed original specifications, but it does not explicitly state whether these parts are genuine or third-party. However, in some cases, they recommend using genuine batteries if available, suggesting that they may use both genuine and third-party options depending on the situation[2][3]. For instance, iFixDallas mentions using "quality parts" which could imply either genuine or high-quality third-party components[2]. Additionally, they have been noted to use authentic Apple batteries for certain replacements, indicating a preference for genuine parts when possible[7].
In contrast, iFixit, a different entity, emphasizes sourcing batteries directly from manufacturers or ensuring high-quality aftermarket products through rigorous testing[1]. This approach highlights the importance of quality control in battery selection, which might be similar to iFixDallas's focus on quality parts. However, without explicit confirmation, it remains unclear whether iFixDallas consistently uses genuine or third-party batteries across all services.
