I recently switched to iPhone from samsung because I was tired of samsung ads and only 2 years of OS updates.
However, Apple really rubs me the wrong way when it comes RTR. Recently, I tried replacing my wifes scratched screen on her iphone. I purchased an OEM refurbished screen. I was able to replace the screen and then was greeted with a message saying, the screen is not original. I would prefer to buy an original screen and replace myself but I cannot. It isn't rocket science, but manufacturers make it seem like it is extremely difficult.
Also, I would never purchase a Tesla. Obtaining parts is extremely difficult or impossible. They blacklist cars from supercharging network etc.
If you want to rebuild a crashed Tesla, you are better off getting a 2nd car for parts.
Every single product should come with a manual with all the part numbers, and manufacturers should be forced to have those parts or produce them for a certain period of time. However, this isn't as profitable as selling something new every few years and servicing it through a manufacturers repair center.
If no action is taken against Tesla and Apple, other companies will follow as they are leaving money on the table.
- skinnymuch 5y agoCan you use the iPhone? Does the message persist? That’s pretty disconcerting. The vast majority of Apple users within distance of an Apple store will already go to Apple first and foremost for repairs. Pretty sad that they are fighting this hard against a small minority of their user base or people in countries without Apple support. I’ve taken a few MacBooks from friends over the years and did the basic repairs needed to fix them again. Usually some minor corrupted computer part. Hard drive being the most likely. The over priced repairs with Apple who don’t even want to deal with older computers, or their partners, are crazy too.
- avgDev 5y agoThe message stays on the lockscreen for 14 days, then shows up in settings forever. You can use the phone as normal but won't be able to trade it in, as carriers won't accept a device with that message.
- skinnymuch 5y agoThat’s awful. M
- Proven 5y agoMay I recommend PinePhone Pine64 to you? I notice you change the phone supplier, by the way. Would you agree that the characterization of mobile phone devices being a monopolistic market (in article title) is complete garbage?
