I Visited Apple's Secret iPhone Testing Labs!

Where 10,000 iPhones are built and destroyed before the first one ships

So this is where they decide how to fuck over independent repair shops, neat

[painhell]

Regarding your statement that durability and reliability are on a sliding scale… Programming the phone to not work with replacement parts does not make it more reliable just more profitable.

I'm actually really glad to see that there's a lot of comments calling this propaganda from before Louis made a video

[Fabi]

I have AdBlock installed but he's still showing up. Any suggestions?

[SzymonAdamus]

Louis Rossmann summed it up perfectly.

This is not journalism. This is Apple’s marketing and PR.

I am here before Marques Brownlee removes the comments or just straight up removes the comment section all together

Its wild Marques can be so critical of these tech start ups, but then cradles the balls and strokes the shaft for Apple.

Integrity – –
Propaganda + +
Gaslighting + +

Dude if you’re not going to be allowed to ask these people the hard questions then just don’t bother. This guy is obviously going to defend the company’s choices. Please talk to people actually having to fight tooth and nail to repair the devices too so we get a better picture of the issue.

I don't buy his argument about the balance of durability vs repairability.

-Adding gaskets improves durability without conpromising repairability.
-Locking parts to serialized pairing has no effect on durability, but destroys repairability.

MKBHD: Supports right to repair

Do you remember the Samsung Galaxy S5 that was IP67 rated with a removable battery? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Mkbhd out here gargling apple's balls

[Pixelwhiskysteve]

9:41 apple = preventing access to components for repair = number of repairs dropping = successful robust design lmao

[HotPaniPuri]

8:00 So you are saying that the infamous ThinkPad laptops are not repairable? I don't sit well with that notation TBH

[hwstar]

repair shops aren't asking you to make your phones 'more repairable', they just want the spare parts and no bs serialized parts

Uncovering Every Lie in MKBHD's Softball Interview - by Louis Rossmann
Strongly recommend to watch this video

[pablobribiesca]

Durability and Repairability are X and Y. Toyotas are both durable and repearable. BMW are neither durable nor repairable. Guess who is apple in this analogy.

[genrerahul]

Well, MKBHD lived long enough to see himself become a villain. I guess popularity does get into people's heads.
