That is so cute how you take some old press narrative from 20 years ago and try to make a whole post out of it. Could you not figure out how to fit in the words "beleaguered" and "mercurial" as well?
To answer your rhetorical questions, they won't replace it because you took over the obligation for repair and maintenance the moment you decided to repair and maintain it by cracking it open.
Did you feel that the warranty would apply after you cracked it open and replaced the battery? You made an assertive action to void the warranty, and now you seem to be mad that Apple has agreed with your decision.
Surely you knew as that if the phone was swelled that the battery was damaged, and that Apple should cover the repair. Why would you even attempt this yourself, if the phone was covered under warranty?
The offer on the table seems pretty damn fair. Take it and learn your lesson.
Also, just out of wondering, in other pictures that I have seen of the iPhone4 and 4S, the back has different lettering than what is shown in your drop box images. There is a set of graphical symbols under the text, and the second line of text is longer than the first line. Is this an actual Apple iPhone?
