How? Bro you can literally do that shit in like 20 minutes with a heat gun,a pentalobe screwdriver, a few guitar picks, a spudger, and obviously a replacement battery. Did Apple make it even more difficult? I haven't kept up with them since the iPhone X or so.

This is Apple playing coy on purpose.
>look at how inconvenient it is to repair your phone on your own!
>it'd be much easier and convenient to just pay us to do it for you and not deal with such a hassle!
>don't forget to petition your local representative against right to repair!
These fuckers should get fined for doing this. Right to repair doesn't mean I should receive two gigantic suitcases when I want to repair my phone, it means my phone should be built in such a way that a small toolkit would be sufficient to do it.

The funny thing is is that Apple doesn't repair it; it is more beneficial in cost for them to just hand you a new one and then tear the old one down for parts.

You have to pay a deposit which they will keep if you don't return the tools on time.
Also every time you physically replace a part, you have to contact Apple or an approved partner to have the part registered as genuine for the phone, otherwise the phone will constantly alert the user about a non-genuine part and disable features like apple pay. They won't approve your shit if you're using stolen tools.

I was going to shit on apple but they basically just sent all their in house tools. Actually kind of interesting

Not necessarily actually. I have an iPhone Mini 12 with a very small dent in the bottom right corner on the back. I sent this phone to Apple twice for a battery change and a camera change, and both times it came back with the exact same dent in the same place.

They're the ones that choose to design the phone in such a way that their in-house tools have to be these though

>Faggot bitches about the right to repair a complex phone.
>Apple ships them the equipment the repair their complex phones.

Garbage journalist bait, I would love if Apple sold me 35kg of their official equipment.

Don't even know how they don't lose money shipping that for $49 or however much it costs to rent them.

imbecile if you have a phones that is water, dust, and other shit resistant and very thin etc etc, then you accept that repairing it is gonna be more annoying and repair more/bigger tools.

If you want muh replaceable battery phone and other shit then buy a phone that lacks all that shit and fuck off.

>RIGHT TO REPAIR! RIGHT TO REPAIR!
Go eat a dick elsewhere OP

go fuck yourself freetard. o wait you already do.

Right to Repair is Repair shop welfare

>right-to-repair
why do we need this when we already have the "right-to-not-be-a-fucking-moron-and-choose-overpriced-anti-consumer-bullshit-over-better-alternatives"


of course they loose money, that's why they ship huge heavy bags that nobody wants to deal with.

how much did you get paid for this post?

post your nose

I had an android that claimed to be water resistant, but had a replaceable battery. You're full of shit.

How is that not illegal?

It defiantly varies by location.
For a battery you wouldn't expect anything but for it to be changed on site but anything outside of that it depends on what that store has/can do.
The easiest thing for some stores is to just give you a refurb while your original is sent to a depot.

They are trying to make doing shit like that illegal.
It's one of the main points of right to repair legislation

It should be. It's why there has been such a huge movement for "muh repair rights" these past few years.

There is no need to protect thieves or counterfeit chink manufacturers. The counterfeit parts are also a health hazard.

What compelled you to post this atrocious image?

>defiantly
definitely*

few things on the internet can still get a rise out of me nowadays, but that picture makes me want to punch something

I've owned one too, that doesn't change anything about what I said you dumb mouthbreather. Newer phones have different ratings of resistance and the tighter they are the harder they are gonna be to take apart.

It's not about fake parts
iPhones will still disable features even if you take a part from another iPhone.

It is a good thing to reduce the benefit of stealing iPhones and then taking their parts.

That phone was more sturdy than my current phone that doesn't have a replaceable battery and isn't water resistent.
