> If a customer does something stupid and breaks their phone then they shouldn't blame Apple, a responsible journalist won’t make out that it’s Apples is fault, Even ignoring the existence of plenty of less responsible “journalists”, if Apple were to publish “works reasonably well most of the time in the hands of a careful person with experience” repair manuals, I think it’s certain Apple would be blamed by almost all journalists. And I don’t think adding stringent warnings to their manuals would make things better for them. On the contrary, I expect “the Internet” would burn them at the stake for adding those terms. Any complaints shouldn’t be aimed against these repair methods, but at repairing being that difficult for modern stuff. But even then, it’s hard to complain. Thing is: pouring lots of good glue inside a smartphone and making parts fit incredibly tight together makes them much stronger and makes it easier to make them water resistant.
