This is a big part of why I hate Apple and I won't buy their stuff...

I have a Pixel 7 phone that just rocks. It is easily repaired if needed, and it cost me ~ $500.

Fuck Apple!

This is why I never buy iPhones, they look nice, but you spend out the butt to get one, you got to have a very good case, and you need to be very careful with them, and it's sad that I see people with them especially these young people and the screens broke, and it's been like that maybe for a year or better see my heart goes out to people because if I had lot money I would give it to that person to get their screen repaired or get a new phone it's sad, but I believe Apple is a money making scheme or let's just say Apple is scammers this is one reason why I've always bought Androids/Smartphones, but I get the least expensive phone.

Thanks for MHO :)

I am not surprised. Have you ever been to a Apple store? It is like a cult.

That's normal repairers can't fix anything that new officially from Apple unless you have got accreditation from Apple.

Apple are completely anti right to repair but try to come across pro repair by making tools for some products available but at a inflated price making it not cost affective.

And when they are forced to conform with others they make half the effort e. g. the take on usb c but to usb 2.0 standards not usb 3.0 like everyone else is already doing.

Can't wait to see how they implement upcoming EU standards for toolless battery removal and changing.

[integrale77]

My first computer was an Imac g-4 which cost like $2500 in 2003. It was good for about 5 years until they stopped supporting it. Snow Leopard was the last version I could update to. So I switched to a PC, which were cheap enough that you could replace them every couple of years with a new updated version. But the Apple never got a virus and I burned so many music CD's on it that I burned out the burner and had to have it replaced. So I guess I got my money's worth in the end. I still have my Imac out in the garage.

Leopard (10.5) was the last version for PowerPC Macs. Snow Leopard was only available for internal developers. It was another one of these abrupt Steve Jobs decisions to nix Snow Leopard for PowerPC.
I also still have my G3 and G4 PowerBooks, I loved these machines.

Companies should be banned from forbidding right to repair. They should also be forbidden from forcing everyone into leases instead of ownership. They should also make planned obsolescence a criminal offense. For example, air conditioners are designed to fail around ten years instead of twenty. Why do we allow this? It’s not a free market when there are a handful of manufacturers, huge regulatory and capital barriers to entry, and they all behave the same way.

That is another reason why I would never spend over $100 on a phone. I just buy the cheapest phone I can find and replace it every few years. The phones do everything an overpriced and overrated iPhone can do anyway.

[integrale77]

If your talking the up front cost if your getting a phone on contract then your still paying $300+ over time tagged onto your contract

[DryGermanGuy]

Hmmm... that would collide with new EU legislation regarding the right to repair (by third party). And Apple is - I assume - abiding by these laws, hence the switch to a universal USB-C charger.

I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max I like Apple but I don’t understand why every single year they’re gonna come out with a new design it’s like a scam

[msc545]

It IS a scam!

[BoopBoopBeep]

I've never had an iProduct other than my work phone (which I don't get to choose) the 15 thing solidifies, once again, why I never will.

[Simslover92]

Well there goes another reason for me to hate Apple.

[Bitterness]

No, I didn't know that. I don't have much money, and I don't buy Apple products, so it doesn't matter to me.

[Andres77]

The only good apples are baked into a pie!

Bwahaha…😉

[On_cloud_wine]

Apple is territorially. They don’t want you messing around with anyone but them. 💋

[Kristenxoxo]

Really? I was planning on buying it next week

[msc545]

Don't do it.

Yikes, and I thought about buying a 15 plus. Glad I bought an iphone 14 plus instead.
