How anyone could love such an anti-consumer company is beyond me.

Apple: there's no room for a headphone jack inside the device because is the thinnest iPhone created ever(tm), but there's enough space to solder tracking chips into each individual component

I get to repair my phone and nobody can use a software to recognize my face? I see this as an absolute win

now I'm waiting for when you try to repair an iPhone it explodes

>Get in the way of third party repair shops by breaking major functions of your device >"Don't use third party repair shops they will break major functions of your device"

they must really want their phones and laptops to feel like a kiosk we're allowed to use

at this point, apple is a user-hostile brand

Apple fans: Thanks for changing my life, Apple. You are the best. Apple: We literally hate everyone on this planet, specially you.

Sounds like Apple is more of a dictorial regime than a tech company

Imagine if people fought for right to a free operating system as much as they fought for right to repair lol

If I'm paying $$$ for something, I'd say I got a right to do whatever I want to that.

Soon they’ll release the new Apple soldering iRon - just warm enough to melt the plastic sealant to replace a screen but not hot enough to melt solder blobs.

"Damn, my apple phone self destructed because I did something they didn't want me to do. I guess I'll go buy a new phone but ensure it isn't apple so the same thing won't happen again" -A sensible person

Time to fix your iPhone guys, either by unwanted or forced measures. Meanwhile I'm gonna sit on my android and dwell in the thought of Linux phones being the future.

Meanwhile Google literally released the fingerprint calibration software to the public for anyone to be able to re-pair a Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro screen/fingerprint sensor replacement with your phone.

This "calibration machine" reminds me a lot of the whole issue with McDonald's partnership with Taylor's ice cream machines. Nobody EXCEPT for a Taylor representative can access any of the error codes, set up the machine, or do any diagnoses or repair. And this is screwed up because it screws over the franchisee owner, just like apple's partnership with geek squad screwed over geek squad's repair rights. It's all about corporate $ making partnerships, which limit actual output and productivity. If you ever wonder why ice cream machines are down at McDonald's, it's not because of the employees or the manager, it's because of the blockage Taylor and McDonald's corporate implements in terms of the right to repair.

Worked at an AASP for repairs, you're basically a scapegoat for Apple to throw customers to, especially if the customer is frustrated. I can still remember the face of people who thought they could repair their phone/macbooks within hours only to be told that we don't have the parts and they have to wait 3-7 days, and while I understand how they felt I still got scolded on a daily basis.

"What inspired you to disable Face ID on self-repaired phones?" " _Money._ "

Disable face ID? Why would Apply give you something like that as a bonus for not coming to them?

Pay over 1000 USD for a phone you simply can't get repaired. Oooga Boooga!

Bruh Apple hasn't made any significant changes to their hardware for 3 iPhones now, but they decide to make a way to detect when you don't have a freaking "genuine" iPhone display

Long Legged Rossmann

"we don't ship with chargers because of pollution" So your admitting you making people pay multiple phones then?

They didn't disable it. They are just hiding it!

Reminds me of the time that my dad tried to replace my pretty much melted phone battery, failed, and the the apple store told us that since we tried to do that they legally weren’t allowed to fix my phone and I had to buy a new one. :/

I find the concept around this funny though. Apple is essentially saying “you didn’t bring your phone to us for repairs, so we won’t let you use our creepy face identifying software because you aren’t connected to our database, and we won’t let you use your fingerprint.” Maybe it is just me, but I feel like they want that kind of info…

"With the release of our newest iPhone, we have decided that if you try to repair your phone without the help of our sponsored repair shops, not only will we blow up your phone, we'll send you to a reeducation camp, or just call a drone strike"

Underrated video, please spread it and send it to Luis Rossman, who is basically one of the faces of the right to repair movement so he can throw more light into the matter.

Soldering is a great skill. I started with putting new batteries in Gameboy Color cartridges for saves.

Therapist: "Louis Long Legs doesn't exist, he can't hurt you" Louis Long Legs: 4:08

"it's just for security we promise"

I use to race Rc cars, so being able to solder is a must.Remember all solder-irons are not the same,and having the correct makes all the difference.

And like the sheep phone manufacturers are, they too stopped shipping chargers with their phones.

I almost choked on my food with the Louis Longmann pic

I'm fine with hackers getting access to that not public api.

No soldering skills? Soldering was my favourite part in engineering as a CS student. It's easy once you know what to do and this takes only a few hours of practice.

Apple in 2022: If tou try to repair iPhone by yourself, we'll bombard your home

I’ve been disillusioned with iPhone ever since they got rid of the headphone jack. I have seriously considered switching to Android so many times now, literally the only thing stopping me at this point is the price (upgrade discounts typically don’t apply when you switch brands). Oligopolies are the WORST.

You don't strictly need a calibration machine anymore. What many 3rd party repair people do nowadays is they use a machine to transfer the ID from one part to another to make the phone think it's the same part.

My sister recently got her iPad repaired third-party. Now, we believe the person who repaired it just did a shoddy job as the home button doesn't work full stop and moves in the slot but there was a notification saying Touch ID couldn't be enabled. The fact that it gave a notification as well makes me think that maybe something like this happened to my sister too. Either that or iOS knows when you have broken hardware.

You're really moving up in the world! Now you're reposting Louis Rossmann content too! In all seriousness, good video. I enjoy watching multiple perspectives on the same issue especially since no one can cover everything.

Therapist: Long Rossmann doesn't exist, he can't hurt you Long Rossmann:

To be honest it's not even about the hype anymore or how something looks that kind of is but I digress it's literally just straight up a corrupt company doing anything they can to get money even if it fucks over the environment like this isn't just a scheme you have to plan to do these new changes and packaging and everything you don't just do this on the whim....and they know this

Alternate title: “we’re greedy and mad you keep repairing your phone and aren’t coming to us because we need the money, so we’re gonna take ur stuff away.”

This apple vs repair war is impressive. Eco friendly cook fighting these repairshops

Apple now has a monopoly over repairing the product you paid for

I understand some of how apples components work, this makes me genuinely think about making my own parts that work around this

I repair phones for a living. This feature is not new, it’s the same for the iPhone X and beyond. This has been this way for years so I’m surprised people are suddenly mad about this now but not then. Shit, even for the iPhone 6s, 7, and 8 the Touch ID gets disabled if you change out the home button. This is actually a precaution so that your phone can’t be stolen then unlocked just by changing the screen or home button ( trust me people have tried) and to prevent 3rd party repaired phones to be traded in. I understand the outrage as it makes repairs in shop ridiculously tedious, but I don’t understand why there’s so much outrage now vs when this was first implemented. I’d understand if Face ID was needed for the phone to function but it’ll behave the same way that it would with Face ID being turned off, with the biggest difference being that there will be a notification that won’t go away without the phone being re-repaired with an apple OEM screen/home button and proper calibration after the repair. Without the calibration the notification will still be there, even if you use a part directly from apple or use another phone’s screen. Again, it’s super frustrating and I personally hate it, but why now?? Why not get angry when this stuff first started years ago??

as a geek squad tech how often did you get roach infested consoles/pc come through?

The reason right to repair is being violated is due to draconian copyright laws. If copyright laws didn't exist Apple couldn't threaten you or try to prevent you from repairing your phone.

just dont buy iphones like the rest of the world lol idk why americans are so obsessed with this specific phone

I just started using a flip phone again and it’s doing wonders to my mental health.

I'm so grateful to be in a place where apple ecosystem is not deeply ingrained into the society. While WhatsApp sucks, but people can choose to use either iPhone or Android, while stay connected with each other. And we build our own payment infrastructure so apple pay is basically useless if they ever decided to come here.

"Touch ID isn't a thing anymore" Literally every friend of mine who owns an Iphone has one of the models with Touch ID

Remember that Apple started with 2 dorks tweaking computers in their garage, now they hate people for doing that to their products

11/17/2021 apple allows anyone to fix their newest devices. Geez. The things that can happen in just 10 days.

Can you set a normal passcode as an alternative to FaceID on this phone? If so, does _that_ still work after "unapproved" repairs?

Quick question: does Apple Watch unlocking still work? It would become a bit of a non-issue for some users and allow them to tell Apple to get stuffed.

Mechanic: Dude... You replaced your windshield.. sorry man i have to take out the engine

And yet people still buy from this terrible company

...Missing the days when Sculley was in power and none of this crap occured. Good times.

Macos has a sound basis? I did not know that. After all, modern macos has regular kernel panicks, leaks memory, and gets slower over time. It is not like Win10, which you only need to reboot for updates. Maybe macos was sound “back in the day”; but Tim Cook ended those days - like he did many other things at Apple.

Don't just thank apple, Thank your country.

Nice breakdown!

Around the 2 minutes I was about to say that such practice is evidence of terrible management, but I know that they're just prompting them to buy a new one.

this isn't the loss of a feature this is a bonus

No one gonna talk about the tall af Rossmann? Home keys can be swapped into different LCDs without issues btw as long as you don't scuff the flex. Same goes for Face ID with the obvious exception of the 13s. Depending on the flex a replacement LCD uses you might not even be able to swap the paired IC. I worked with multiple replacement LCDs that use a different package for the IC completely eliminating any chance of swapping it over.

This is why we need to support right to repair ! Check Louis Rossman's channel, he is the vocal part of this movement on KZfaq

"it's all just a cash grab- so they can make more money, while giving you less" Hold up, apple was giving away money?

Can you do a video on Unified hosts? I think if you care about privacy any you should be using a hosts file, especially if you do anything other than web browsing. especially games since they have gotten very spook recently look at the red shell spyware incident.

And this is just one reason why android > apple, or just literally any other type of phone > apple

Videos like this make me love my Motorola, which has way more tech crammed into it than the iPhone 12 and costs 1/6 as much.

In your "Basics of Piracy" video you talk about that ratio so you could get into "private p2p clubs" (or something like this... I really hope you get what I'm saying). Could you do a video on seedboxes? Because from my research I found that it is almost necessary for you to maintain that 1.0 ration. But I might be wrong.

At this point I’m seriously(ish) contemplating starting a business with the true freedom wild west tech spirit. Open-source OS, simple shenanigan-less tech so that anyone can look up a tutorial to repair their own stuff (or go to a third party who can), absolutely no sticky tentacles of data collection in the OS etc for advertisers or other ppl (I mean you have to store SOME data but I’m talking about the “Sensitive Data” stuff)... Oh- and [customizable option; default] speakers that can’t output any ultrasonic frequencies (somehow,, Idk stuff abt tech components ;w;) (technically this is a subcategory of the sticky data tentacles) The only real roadblock is that marketing for it is 99% bound to be slamdunked on by the big tech companies and/or their partners ;-; And that I’m lazy :,D

I was wondering what happened to Face ID after I had my phone fixed, I took it to someone I trust and Face ID stopped working, I thought it was their fault but now I know thanks for this video I’ll forward for to them (:

Just because it’s their products and company doesn’t mean they can do this. You guys let it become “the norm.” But it isn’t normal. It doesn’t matter what the iPhone 13 does because we will find a way around it. Our devices, our rules.

i remember when i sheduled an appointment for a screen problem 3 weeks before and they still didn't have an display in stock (in an apple store btw, while in warranty)

I replaced the screen on my iPhone 5s myself and I was able to get around Apple’s crap by installing the old home button on the new screen.

Louis Rossmann made a video on this, he also showed an article on how to bypass this issue by literally taking a component of the old screen and putting it on the new one

This is why you never buy an Apple product. You spend 1k on a phone only to spend another 500 on repairs, when you could buy any Android for around 200, and repair them without getting screwed.

You will own nothing, and you will like it. You better like it, or we will come for you!

The more I hear about these right to repair issues, the happier I am that I'm not an Apple fan

Planned obsolescence is the gift that keeps on giving

2100: *something touches iPhone* iPhone: fucking explodes

The reason MacOS isn’t that customisable is because it’s meant for more professional uses, such as work, assignments, documents, most of the time people aren’t gonna care for the ui that much they just want stuff done.

I have been micro-soldering for years, I still won’t do it on Apple phones. I do own a little older iPhone, but I refuse to fix them.

So for the touchid home buttons, you can simply swap over the home button to the new screen up until they integrated the two. Can you also do this with the faceid camera array?

Si if i broker my iPhone screen in can’t use The Touch ID ever again if i don’t ho to Apple stores?

Rossmann says he or his business doesnt have time or money to do this chip swap for repairing screens. Even tho he does have the skills to do it.

This is too awful, in my city there is NO apple store, which means that if your iPhone is damaged you get it somewhere to repair it, and it's like this in the whole country

Love the Street Fighter vs font at 2:12

I went through Apples certified macintoshe technician training during the first iMac days. They tried to teach me how to handle cathode ray tubes. I asked the training huy if he’s also an electronics engineer like me. He wasn’t very happy when i offered him training. But he eventually agreed that i don’t need this training and shut up about my soldering station at my bench

I wish someone would sue the crap out of not just Apple, but all businesses for their bad practices.

Me who doesn’t use Face ID: I see this as an absolute win

This happened to me pretty recently, my phone disabled faceid after getting it the cracked screen fixed. Kinda crazy that this video was in my recommended shortly after that

i worked at a third party repair shop though and we could still get touch id to work on 5s - 8 as long as we keep the original home button on the new screen. the home button can be removed if you apply the right amount of heat. not sure with face id though, i had already quit before the x came out

I pray for the day where apple goes too far and everyone just drops it.

soldering is a great way to train your finger muscles i used to be a complete clutz when it came to typing now i can type over 150 WPM not that i can do that for long periods of time thanks to developing carpel tunnel due to cheep school laptops and keyboards

Funny, when the video ended I got an ad for a new phone!

Some apple user: *fixes phone by himself* Apple: so you have chosen... no face...
