With all due respect to @oldturkey03 , @nick and @bobcat1981, I would not categorize this as a scam. Injured Gadgets is one of the most reputable suppliers out there and they, along with MobileSentrix, have recently introduced a new line of batteries. At 3300mAh, this battery claims about 13% more capacity than a standard, Apple-original, which is certainly in the realm of possibility given constant updates in Li-Ion technology.

Full Disclosure: I have not tried these new COMBATT batteries. At the very least, they could be playing around with spec-speak because no one knows how Apple or Injured Gadgets tests their respective batteries. Apple could be conservative and IG a bit optimistic and that’s all it would take. We are not back in the days when unscrupulous suppliers would claim 40-50% increases just because they added a gold sticker.

Full Disclosure: I have not tried these new XCAP batteries.

We are not back in the days when unscrupulous suppliers would claim 40-50% increases just because they added a gold sticker.
The only way to know for sure is to actually test them under identical conditions on a constant-power meter setup. I have a constant-current setup ([post|525250])) which I use to test batteries I receive. While not as good for truly replicating a contant-power device like the iPhone, it serves as a very good proxy. In my experience, I have seen battery capacity fluctuate by up to +/-15% of the stated nominal capacity for identical batteries from multiple vendors.
But regardless of the result, when a reputable supplier, who has been pushing Chinese suppliers to create and provide better quality replacement parts claims a 13% increase, I wouldn’t call it a scam and it may very well be true.
