iPhone 12 Anti Repair Design - Teardown and Repair Assessment

Apple says they are aiming for zero climate impact by 2030.
So to me that says a device should be able to be repaired when the time comes to, preventing it from becoming e-waste. But is that true?

Great video! Very in depth. Apple should be allowing repairs. I'd even be fine if they 'locked' repairs untill after the warranty expires, but after that people should be allowed to fix devices that they own.

[galaxymaster]

there is about to be a law in germany that phones have to be reparable and batteries have to be exchangable by the user. We need that everywhere

[MakersMuse]

Apple's environmental angle is all marketing bs, they've always wanted you to buy a new device every year and this just shows the levels they'll go to ensure it. Gross!

[solarflarecj]

“To reduce waste, we are going to make our products unrecycleable.”

[editorrbr]

“ there are 2 billion Apple power adapters in the world… And we’re going to render them obsolete.”

To prevent e-waste. Sure thing, buddy.

“recycling shouldn’t be the only option - repairing and reusing should come first”

wise words, this bugs me a lot.

[lornetontegode]

It was a blessing that you couldn't get parts to test its reparability. In having to use two new original phones, you proved that they are serialized at the component level. Well done video!

[projectz]

this is so sketchy. they didnt just lock it out, they tried to make it look like the phone was broken just to give any repair shops attempting to fix these phones a bad name.

[MichaelHybrid]

Everyone:
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Apple:
Produce, Refuse, Recycle.

[timhill]

This is so genuinely anti-consumer that legal action may genuinely be needed. Apple is acting like the phone still belongs to them.

[PuckishAngel]

Apple: We want to make our world more green!
Someone: So, eco friendly?
Apple: No, I'm talking about green like money

>claims that they’re trying to be “enviromental-friendly”

>makes phone that is impossible to repair unless you pay them to do so
>doesn’t include power block in the box, making you have to go pay them extra to buy the power block separately from them which is actually worse for the environment than just including it in the box
>does the same with their earbuds
>literally rendered 2 billion of their power adapters obsolete just so people could buy a new one from them
>wants you to buy a new phone from them every year

But suuuure, I guess Apple totally wants to be super eco-friendly and good for the planet, right?

The only “green initiative” they want is the one that puts green dollar bills in their pockets.

The modularity on apple devices and the way they sell replacement parts shows the rift between the amazing talented apple engineers and the cutthroat apple corporate.

[DanteSolablood]

The camera glitchiness is deliberate.. its to make it look like the repairman has messed up. Many tech unsavvy users would be fooled by this.

[kagesentai]

Apple: "we're aiming to be environmental friendly so we ditched the charger"
also Apple: "wtf is repair? go buy another Iphone!"

[nqrtzy]

Apple is forgetting that when someone buys their product, the product belongs to that person, not to Apple. Me and my family were always Apple users but I’m genuinely considering moving to Android.

[madmax]

People just need to stop buying Apple products until they get the hint. Shows you how environment friendly Apple really is (not very very much), Apple has pretty much always wanted you to buy new instead of upgrading, or repairing.

[KoeSeer]

Apple: we aim for 0 waste
ALso Apple: if your phone is broke, might as well as buy a new one.

[bluefox]

Me who has never bought any apple products: interesting
But seriously: people like you make plattforms like youtube actually valuable in terms of useful information - keep it up.

The iphone 13 is going to have some cyanide hidden inside it, for ecological reasons
