Has anyone that commented before me even read the article??? It's about the right to repair, not about updates, software or whatever... "damnit, why won't it read?"

But if you morons like the way Apple charges you for the smallest of repairs, then go ahead, but I'd love to repair my phone where I can.

Yes. This is why we paid $1000 for it; we don’t want to control, maintain or provide updates for the software. We want Apple to do it.

Journalism is dead

NYT has really gone off the deep end lately.

ITT: people who have not read the article.

Is anyone reading the article? This is about part pairing where they prevent swapping parts even from like machines by third party repair shops. Louis Rossman found this issue on even some mundane parts where you just cannot replace them and have a functioning device.

So replace a part and the software blocks the phone use of it or worse disables other features.

Pretty sure if I wanted to saw my phone in half Apple ain’t gonna do anything about it.

They have to do this. Because their partners in China sell replacement parts for a lot less on side channels, probably breaking contracts, and they can’t enforce any of it.
