Wasn’t their initial offering for tool rentals basically malicious compliance?
I vaguely recall stories of Apple sending out a shipping pallet of industrial tooling to replace a screen. The speculation at the time was that they were trying to be absurd and demonstrate why the average Joe shouldn’t be trying to do what their approved facilities can.
- Someone 3y agoThey offered you the option to rent professional tools, but also the option to only buy parts. They also allow everybody to download the repair manual for repairs using the professional tools.
- jwells89 3y agoThey ship out the same tools that are used by Apple to do repairs, which enables non-specialists to perform repairs like screen and shell replacements with the same quality and consistency as original factory assembly, including water resistance. That’s difficult to achieve without special tooling.
