Apple vs Right to Repair: Part 2!

21 Comments

1. Well I’d be damned!

2. Lets not prase Apple for doing the bare minimum with right to repair. It should be illegal for company's to intentionally make it difficult to repair.

3. The ports and the right to repair are great steps this year. Now we just need to be able to install apps without AppStore.

4. still wont support this company when you know they are greedy and selfish when you look at their core

5. Tesla is another Anti-Right to Repair company

6. I just really hope it doesn’t require you have the device you’re ordering parts for, i can 100% see them do something like that though

7. rip dolph

8. Some video: " So I've been changing parts of my iPhone for a week now, here are my thoughts on this " !

9. It's actually insane how many people just get a new phone instead of replacing the battery.

10. I am sure companies like Samsung and one plus will add this in new few months

11. Except literally no one here will repair themselves.

12. Wait is this for reals like for real real? Dang I hope others follow suit!

13. Doesn't matter. They will just jack up the prices another 20% to cover the cost of people repairing their own stuff. What a evil money and money hungry company.

14. I have to see the prices for the official parts. Otherwise this means nothing. If they charge $300 for an iPhone OLED that's not really that helpful is it?

15. So… Apple is not the villain anymore? 🙁

16. Wonder what Hugh Jeffreys thinks about this news.

17. Everytime he say "but", i sweat

18. Good PR and will definitely boost revenue. Think of all the people that will gladly pay a few extra bucks for "Genuine Apple" parts. It will potentially cut into the margins/markup that indie repair shop will have because the Apple parts prices will be publicly available, but conversely, they may be able to make up for it with volume.

19. Next? Apple will give iPhone adapters for free, Just ask nicely lol

20. Heh, cute. It seems Apple is getting a little (or a lot) worried with the wave of legislation coming both from the US and the EU, that will hit them hard. So maybe their strategy is to concede just a little, just enough so they could use it as an argument when lobbying about the theme in the congress etc. As "See? look at what we've done!! You guys don't need to pass this bill anymore!! :)))))", and of course the legislation would be much more broad in relation to the subject. As you mentioned in the video: screen, camera, battery and that's it. Also, users themselves to open the phone and change parts? That is ridiculous. A good first step at the most. We need all the manuals, and more importantly, the possibility for any repair shop to repair an iPhone or other Apple product.

21. Before watching the video, I’d like to say thank you for supporting the right to repair, the Nature is thankful! 🙂
