Other manufacturers don't go after repair shops aggressively, either.
- threeseed 8y agoThey wouldn't exist if Apple was actually aggressive. Repair shops have simply been victims of Apple's aggressive approach to security.
- paulie_a 8y agoInteresting, I know someone in that line of work. They've never had a problem with apples aggressive security measures. Phone is repaired and shipped out.
- threeseed 8y agoThere was an issue in the past with the Secure Enclave and the verification between it and the TouchID sensor. Third parties who replaced the sensor didn't have the ability to reset the pairing and even if you did there was the infamous Error 53 problem. All solved now and third party repairers can do most things.
- voltagex_ 8y agoIf you're repairing a Samsung phone, you can log in and order a part. The price list is at https://www.samsung.com/au/support/screen-replacements/ https://www.samsung.com/au/support/screen-replacements/, for example. Meanwhile, Apple does something like https://boingboing.net/2018/10/20/louis-rossman.html https://boingboing.net/2018/10/20/louis-rossman.html
- threeseed 8y agoDid you even read the article you posted ? Customs seized it. Not Apple.
- x0x0 8y agoDid you? > Apple is working with the government And from the source article >[Apple] will not allow me to replace batteries, because when I import batteries that are original they’ll tell me the they’re counterfeit and have them stolen from by [CBP].
- threeseed 8y agoThere is no evidence from the article that Apple is working with Customs to block the imports of batteries or any other parts. Customs in general prevents the importation of counterfeit goods. Which they determine by whether that item has a logo and if it came from a legitimate source.
