Correct, Ray. Companies take advantage of this. A newer company following this is Tesla, which speaks volumes about sustainability but are just as bad when it comes to customer repair. In the end, everyone is just doing it for the money no company has ever cared about the environment

I wonder if you could even find a multimeter behind the doors of the black hole they take computers to for "diagnosis"?

It’s basically if the alternator dies, replace the whole engine.

Apple's whole thing, if you actually make a real world comparison, is basically like a tech at a car dealership saying "Alright you have a blown head gasket, we can either replace your entire engine for 4 grand, or you can buy a similar year and mileage vehicle off our lot for around 7 grand. Your 'choice'." (This comparison would be even more realistic, if car makers made it illegal for auto parts to be sold/installed by anyone except their dealerships.)

He is just hater. You cannot compare Rossmann repairing with an authorized repair shop. This does not apply to Apple only - it does not apply to ALL manufacturers. Nobody will allow you to make additional tracks on the motherboard with wire. What Rossmann is doing cannot be done by an authorized technician, because in the event of problems, the company will be sued for millions of dollars. Motherboards are not designed to be repairable.

@@nnnnnn3647 Since you posted the same exact comment below, let me paste the same exact reply here: Yeah, nobody will allow you to "make an additional track on the motherboard" aka a simple tracer wire that is incredibly basic to do and reliable, yet somehow this is considered acceptable when Apple refurbishes boards: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsd3e8Zzv9DRh3U.html. This is the what the "Apple authorized" subcontracted by other subcontractors repairmen do in their veritable sweathshop while being paid an absolute pittance kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7SDnrRlzNOpm5s.html. As you can imagine this does cause problems, but guess what, Apple is not likely to get sued for stuff like this despite the fact that their own "authorized" repairmen did this, in fact it just increases their profit since people just have to buy a new motherboard or entire Macbook again. And you are right, Apple Macbook motherboards are not designed to be repairable (as in, more repair friendly), that doesn't mean they cannot be repaired, third party shops just need to jump through insane hoops to do it.

@FedEXfright if you cant get parts dont know what anything is you cant realy repair it.

You can totally repair your devices, Apple just isn’t going to help you do it. Things were easier when you could see every element of the construction but now that design is so complex and integration is so tight, businesses can enact the intentions they always wanted to.

It's not about "right to repair" you can already do that and no one can stop you... it's about Support... Documentation ,tools and parts ect.....

@@CharlieQuartz No you can't twit. They explicitly banned manufactures from selling replacement parts and even use the government to confiscate parts at the border and have people charged or arrested for trying to source them. Sheeps like you just love defending and playing down the dirty tactics that these companies use don't you?

@@Bash70Perhaps I would listen to your argument more readily if you didn’t bloat it with insults and aggression. Your intentions aren’t to change my mind, but to satisfy your ego. Aside, of course Apple has the right to confiscate counterfeit products which infringe on their design patents. The rights of the creator are that they can make money from the work they put into the creation, otherwise there would be no incentive to create. As of 2019, Apple has given consent to licensed (free of charge) repair organizations to order parts from them and fix devices. The parts in their catalogue probably should be broadened, but the service is available for third parties.

@@CharlieQuartz This is a disingenuous argument, and Louis has brought it up multiple times. Yes, it is technically correct that some people CAN repair Apple devices, however for third party repair shops to be able to do this they need access to software and documents that are not legally obtainable as well as components which they have a very hard time buying separately, if at all. This is like saying that you can technically arrive from your home to work on foot, so there is no problem with a person locking you out of your car so you could not get there without having to go through significant and unnecessary extra effort. Apple is not only not going to help you do it, they will place every single possible obstacle in your path so that you cannot succeed and they are becoming more and more egregious as the years go by. Also, you miss the part in the video where Louis CANNOT repair the newest laptop and that is not only because he does not have the schematics for it, but he cannot buy the components needed for the repair due to Apple's silent agreement with the manufacturers of those components to not sell them to anyone but Apple (which is illegal as it is a form of goods tying). There are also a whole host of other issues such as the parts being serialized which prevent him from just taking components from a donor board. Unfortunately this videos does not do a good job of explaining all, or even the most important, problems that third party repair shops faces when trying to fix Apple devices. "Complex design and right integration" are buzzwords, and are used to obfuscate the real issue by conflating a legitimate problem (things becoming smaller and smaller does mean they will become harder to repair, but that is something only the repairman should be concerned about and it is ultimately their responsibility to figure it out) with Apple's intentional tactics to make third party repair unnecessarily harder or even impossible through artificial means. The two things are NOT the same and should not be confused.

Unfortunately, it heavily benefits mega corporations (that run the world) for planned obsolescence to continue unchecked. In most countries and probably US states, very little will be done by the government (which is funded by big tech and corporations on all party lines). Not only will companies continue to manufacture products TO FAIL after a certain time span (usually a few years after their warranty period), they will make it more and more difficult for us peasants to obtain the parts to repair ourselves. Apple is already making their products so highly integrated and needlessly complicated that even if we had the parts, repairing specific damaged components won't be feasible.

This is not only about the repair choice, the environmental concerns about Apple's strategy is horrendous, he repaired a laptop with water damage, and its worth using for some more time, but Apple wants to sell you a new laptop, or full new motherboard, which would cost resources, resources owned by you and me and every single person on earth. if not giving a charger saves environment, making your devices easier to repair saves it a ton. Quite surprised that environmental impact is not talked about much in right to repair

@@rahulagrawal327 Apple didn’t want to sell them a new computer, they wanted to replace the motherboard. Rossmann also replaced parts in the computer to circumvent corrosion. There isn’t really an option to fix water damage that wouldn’t use resources.

@@CharlieQuartz She mentions that she has 2 choices. Spend 800 for board or 1000 for new. And in most cases companies bank on customer going extra mile and buying a full computer instead, which works. Right to repair also means Ease of repair. That instead of your device being just 2 parts which are expensive to repair, it's multiple different parts where a single part can be repaired easily. You might even see this with comapnies like Tesla now. Where a simple repair requires a lot of disassembly and assembly than normal cars which increases cost of repair
