I can see your point in theory. But I find less "it's not repairable to protect you from thieves", and more in line with Apple wanting to sell you a new phone when you drop it, instead of repair it.
I'm wanna thing there are a lot of better ways to avoid a black market, than creating more e-waste with disposable devices impossible to repair.
- fastball 5y agoBut Apple literally does repair my phone when I drop it?
- msdrigg 5y agoYou mean if you pay 10$ per month for AppleCare? I dont pay for it but I have helped friends file claims with Apple, and they usually just ship back a brand new device instead of actually repairing the device. Even for things like screen damage. You can tell because small scratches on the back screen from normal use are gone upon return.
- bengale 5y agoIt was my understanding that they do that so they can get you a fixed one back quickly, then they can stack them up at their large repair centres. The one you receive back is just one that someone else broke a while back.
- fastball 5y agoWait. Do you seriously believe Apple is sending everyone new iPhones and not repairing them at all? That would be a stupendously bad business decision.
