This is exactly my point. The only way this will change is when it's profitable to do the right thing.

I'm not saying "Just Say No". I'm saying do everything in your power to hurt them in their wallets. These giant media corporations don't care about anything else except what makes them money.

And I believe that it should be your right also but I also believe that it's Apple's right to not sell you parts, if they don't want to. I also believe that if they're willing to sell your neighbor Joe the parts to do th

>It’s not like we can stop the media from reporting on such things. Sure you can. Stop watching it. Tell your friends to stop watching it and why . The media nowadays is all about going over the top and sensationalizing things because t

Are you seriously arguing that my simplification of the process somehow invalidates the point I'm making? We can go into the entire process and it wouldn't change the point at all . It has nothing to do with crypto-pairing. And e

It's not the sensor. A security chain ( any security chain) relies on the fact that each step of the chain is verified and trusted. Moving, removing, or replacing any part of that chain requires that the whole chain is re-verified for

On its face, it sounds like it would be. It definitely gives more choices. It also opens up an entire world for consumers to get fleeced by shitty, shady third-party repair shops that have no accountability for a device/devices that mo

No one is saying they should have a monopoly. If their logo is going to be on it, though, they should have a say in the quality of the repair. Millions of shitty repairs could do irreparable damage to their brand and business and they shoul

No they don't limit it! There's a difference between "We won't give you this information because you didn't get the battery from us" vs. "We can't give you this information because we can't ver

That's so dishonest, though. They're married to the logic board on the phone because it's an integral part of the security chain for the phone to verify that your fingerprint matches the key that's in the Secure Enclave.

>its missing a cryptographic handshake blessing No it is not. Where the heck did you pull that out of? It's a micro-controller on the battery that's tied to the phone. The micro-controller only provides the sensor on the phone

Apple replaces devices and then takes the old devices, disassembles them, and checks each component for issues individually. They take each phone about and literally have buckets of these components that they test. Those that pass inspectio

I guess I see it differently and I wish I could find the post I was referring to. I think that the current versions of the laws, which are different than many of the original laws that hit the first few states, are a direct result of Apple&

That's not what happened, though, and I have to assume that you know that if you've even taken a casual look at any of these situations. If you take those batteries and replace a few of their cells with an inferior third party pro

by dpkonofa 7y ago
That's only because Apple wants to be the one to install its parts so that it can verify that the repair is done correctly. You can absolutely buy a third-party battery and install it yourself and Apple will do nothing to stop you.

I disagree. Louis still hasn't admitted or updated several videos where he flat out says something wrong or misdiagnoses an issue. Case in point, people still cite his video "proving" that the new MacBook Pros have broken WiF

by dpkonofa 7y ago
Louis is not a good example, though. He is a very rare exception to the issue that Apple is fighting against. Louis definitely knows his stuff and has the technical knowledge to repair devices and probably doesn't need to be certified

Yet, based on the comments in this very thread, you'd think that Apple had someone stopped you from repairing your own device...

by dpkonofa 7y ago
This was because the third party batteries didn't reset the calibration. They're literally missing a sensor that sends back the all-ok to the phone. Since Apple never intended on third-party batteries, they didn't program in

That's not true. DHS maintains a listing of what sources Apple's genuine products come from. If they don't match upon inspection, the items are seized. Please provide a source that shows that DHS seizes items without verifyin

I would gladly take CarPlay in my Tesla over the current system. Slacker is fine but it's not great and I prefer my preferences over those that Tesla chooses. On top of that, I have my phone set to DnD while Driving and that would exte

Do you know anything about any of those cases you just linked? None of them show that Apple prevented someone from trying to get their device repaired. All 3 of them are copyright issues, not having anything to do with the repair of devic

by dpkonofa 7y ago
Apple does do the same. You're misrepresenting what Apple is doing and what their policy is for devices with third-party repairs present.

by dpkonofa 7y ago
And they don't. Apple does not, in any way, try to prevent people from using alternative means to fix those boxes. Please give any single example of them doing that. You can't because they don't.

But you are allowed to do this right now. There is nothing stopping you from attempting to repair your own device. Why should Apple be required to make replacement parts available and manuals available to you at no cost, though? That doesn&

by dpkonofa 7y ago
They are... Genuine question, do you honestly not know that Apple has provided their own recommendations for RTR laws and modifications to the current proposals or are you making some other point by saying that?

by dpkonofa 7y ago
This is exactly why I think it's disingenuous for people to say that Apple doesn't support "Right to Repair" laws. Apple doesn't support the current, proposed laws because they don't actually protect consumer
