No, it clearly states that the apple is liable for faults that the aftermarket part didn't cause. Any faults with the aftermarket part or faults caused by that repair are the responsibility for the person who installed the aftermarket part.
The example is relevant.
- georgespencer 10y agoThe point the post illustrated is that an aftermarket part and/or an inexpert repair job could cause widespread damage to other components, and at times do so imperceptibly.
- ksk 10y agoCan you give a practical example of such a thing happening in anything except the rarest of rarest case? If you're always concerned with what's possible, then you'll find that anythings possible, and soon you're buying insurance against a meteor strike damaging your car :P Also lets not forget that legal frameworks are perfectly capable of handling exceptional circumstances. So even if it was the case that the part caused damage to other parts, it would be an argument that a court would be sympathetic to.
- georgespencer 10y ago> Can you give a practical example of such a thing happening in anything except the rarest of rarest case? This happens _all_the_time_. Especially in complex precision-engineered electronics products. If a third-party repair shop is making repairs using Apple certified components then that's fine. If it's any aftermarket component then clearly Apple should not have any sort of responsibility to the device, which has been fundamentally altered.
