Yes it is. There is no guarantee you get your 'own' device back instead of a replacement while your previous device enters the repair queue. Not at service ingress at an APR, not at an AASP or an APSP. An APSP is more likely to not need to queue, but again, no guarantee and in any high density areas the queue is more common than uncommon.
Now, maybe you read it out of context and you assumed 'repairs of consumer goods by anyone, anywhere' which is a different case and not the one we are discussing.
- nikau 5y agoSo either way, if you get your own device back or someone elses refurb they still cant fill it with epoxy.
- oneplane 5y agoSure they can, perhaps they have to use a solvent to get rid of it. But that is not the point. The point isn't the implementation detail, it's the fact that if someone wanted to make something that is purely bad for consumers they could. This is what you present as being the incentive. You keep writing that there are bad design choices, things that are done just to introduce bad UX for repair personnel etc. all for the sake of being annoying. But there is no economical incentive for that and the company is a for-profit organisation. You disregard all the other reasons why someone might be done and when presented with a theoretical case that fits your narrative you dismiss it, against your own viewpoint.
