How does one turn a camera into a microphone? Also the thing being discussed is that one part of the whole not working shouldn't cause the whole to stop working.

    But in doing so increases costs and can create even more dangerous situations they could be putting them up for liability wise.

    But yes make everything about iPhones because they “bad” lmfao.

    Sorry, but that's a bullshit. What kind of liability? Why other manufacturers don't have liability problems when it happens to them?

    You are drinking Apple kool-aid.

    Uhh they do. They get litigated all the time because stuff doesn’t work the way people expect it. I have also explained it in my other comments.

    I’m sorry you live in this magical bubble where everything is perfect and people don’t sue because something came with dead batteries.

    This is some weird brain yoga you are doing here, mister. Also the cost is the capitalist way of thinking, which as everything has pros and cons. It is not an iPhone is bad thread, it is a thread about anti-consumerism and keeping electronics out of landfills.

    Apple was for some time (iPhone 4 era) very easy to fix, I fixed some myself at the time but today it is unnecessarily (even wasting money as you argument) complicated.

    Which has nothing to do with OPs meme… the thread got derailed by a completely different topic from an idiot circlejerking about iPhones bad.

    But yes I am the one with Brain yoga for sticking to the original Discussion lmfao.

    Oh wait, you’re actually the one that made this about iPhones instead of what the topic was about. You are the fucking idiot lmfao. Oh well this conversation isn’t going anywhere blocked.
