    • The whole Environmentalism thing is a scam. Its been 40 decades since these people said the planet was going to burnt in 1 decade. It's either about making profits now, or ingesting money to gain profits later. Apple will never do anything out of the kindness of their heart. If Apple is doing it, it means they are making profits from it. Instead of asking IF they make profits from what they're doing, ask How or Why.

  • The ABSOLUTE worst thing Apple has done in the past, is to make their phones virtually irrepairable, and have success doing it. That encouraged all other cellphone manufacturers to follow suit. Their actions over the years have contributed to tons and tons of tons of e-waste. They were, and still are despicable.

  • I had a collection of toy dancing flowers from the late 80s. They "danced" when you played the music. What amazed me when I looked at them recently, was they had a hole for you to oil the gear mechanism. They also had screws so you could replace the motor, if it ever became necessary. They had enough pride in their work to do this for at $10 toy. But apple won't even do it for a $2000 computer.

    • Well.. they catter to the rich, their value's from exclusivity. This sounds stupid but look at it like this. If you are unable to purchase a new device not only when there's newer version of your device but also when your old ones are damaged even the slightest bit, you are simply not rich enough = more exclusivity. They also emphasize/focus on the easiness to move between device (Targeted for customer to be easier to move to newer device) and security/ease of use, typical for executives/the rich. So long as their equipment work well enough in launch they're good to go even if the design (like the fuckin mouse) are stupid.

    • I was bought an iPhone for work with the stipulation that if I break it I bought it. And despite being _forced_ to use it, I am supposed to pay for it if I leave. I was reminded of it being company property on Friday so I think ima resign and hand it back. I’m under no contractual obligation to pay for it, more I am a man of my word. Apologies for the prologue, I have an iPhone 13 Promax with a glass screen protector, and one of those transparent phone cases that cost like $95.. where I live, it’s all “shale” floors or carpet over “shale” - the amount of times this iPhone has fallen off the bed on to the floor is an alarming number and I have only just managed to slightly crack the glass screen protector. My iPad is like ten years old and I have thrown this across the room (I have adhd, don’t ask) without anything happening, I shattered the screen throwing it a second time because my ex wouldn’t accept that no one wanted to supply her any meth, the screen was replaced and only needed replacing last year when my phone fell on the screen. The iPad is now so old, KZhead no longer supports that version… I’m not going to sit here and say that Apple are the good guys. These Live Photos have essentially ruined my ability to sort my photos. It’s been like a year and a half and after about 2 months of using this phone I was struggling to get everything off of it. Now I have ~30,000 images; up to and exceeding 5 copies of the same photo, and then the photos that corrupted or stopped partway through copying because the iPhone stopped responding correctly alway register as having been copied yet I have Image 001 (2) - Copy 5 or something ridiculous like that indicating that some files have been copied upward of 7 times not including the 3-4 separate folders and attempts at managing these photos. I don’t know why I went down the tangent of file management, but like idk, these things really are indestructible, but it’s not worth it. The photos might be ok, but it’s just _upscaling_ with the _three cameras_ idk. I had a dream I had my Nokia 6300 last night. It was so peaceful.. *TL;DR* maybe buy an iPhone _to look cool_ and “just” install some other OS or jailbreak it (if that’s possible). I can use Apple wallet for things, a little easier than on the android, but there are places that don’t accept it and require the physical card… It’s why Nokia 6300 had a fake iPhone skin. Apple things look shiny and neat, but are anything but or _not worth_ the effort, time or money. Just my life experience. My iPod classic needed to be ‘reformatted’ for the first time in I dare say 12 years in June. Too bad they don’t actually make those anymore, but I guess that means I can say I don’t like Apple products now 😂

    • Apple is pairing components to each board because of the mass volume of devices that get stolen in the United States and sent to China in order to resell the parts. Apple is being pro consumer because stolen parts won't work/operate the same even if they are OEM. "Right to Repair" should focus on getting OEM replacement parts from the original manufacturer. Example - if a chip manufacturer or cable manufacturer makes the component, allow for it to be sold as replacement parts. This would render the stolen parts useless and give the availability for parts to fix the devices that are broken.

But I don't like that they use the 'security' philosophy as a blanket excuse to do that, because I think that Apple gouges the crap out of people for their parts and repair services. And this isn't even taking into account planned obsolescence. Security is nice, but Apple uses it as a smokescreen to inflate their bottom line.

I also refuse to believe that this is such a hUgE pRoBleM with Apple products but apparently Samsung, Google, OnePlus, etc., don't have this issue? Really makes me doubt that Apple's excuse has much ground in reality and not simply a way to try to justify anti-consumer behavior.

It came with a 85W charger which charges to 100 in around 35mins.. plus a screen protector already fitted.

    • carbon neutrality is the only end result that you care about, because how much greenhouse gases you emit to the environment, not how many things you produce, is the important thing for the environment. it means that there is no carbon footprint and no negative effect on global warming regardless of how many devices they produce. and with them also using recycled materials as much as possible, they don't drain natural resources significantly as well.

    • @@haomingli6175 Carbon offset schemes are often pretty sketchy. Take the classic: tree planting. How many of the trees planted actually survive? How much carbon is released back when they are injured or die? Where are we planting these trees-are we destroying natural habitat that was already effectively sequestering carbon, in order to implement a moneymaking scheme? Just think of how, before carbon offsets became a thing, there was all this wonderful natural land sequestering carbon, which companies couldn't say offset their environmental costs. And nowadays there is an incentive to fuck with that land and transform it, so that we can try to measure and inflate the amount of CO2 sequestered, and sell it back to companies so they can say they actually don't damage the environment at all. In reality, they do the exact same damage as before and some of these offsets they buy ALSO cause damage to the environment, and through funky accounting they say everything's good. And no, carbon neutrality is not the only important end result. Greenhouse gases are definitely a major problem today environmentally but it is not the only one. Invasive species, habitat loss/declining populations of natural wild organisms, air quality, forest management/managing wildfires, there are so many other issues. Not to say those are all directly related to Apple, but it is very shortsighted to only look at the theory of carbon neutrality.

  • I have a 2020 macbook air with an m1 chip. I recently upgraded it to the new software, Sonoma, and it massively impacted performance. It was jarring seeing the time to open any app, webpages were slow to open and even the basic animations were glitchy. 3 years seems about the time when they would like their customers to buy a new product. Luckily I was able to revert back to the previous MacOS, Ventura, although, the process wasn't simple. Unsurprisingly, performance is back, animations smooth with apps and webpages opening quickly and running smoothly.

  • Thanks for featuring my article on Hackaday :) I have used a range of Apple devices over the years (iPod, iPhone 4S, MacBook Pro 2012, early 2015) mostly as part of being an iOS application developer, and it's been amazing to see Apple not just removing more and more I/O ports, but also dumb it down. What irked me a lot as a professional developer is in MacOS itself, where Apple decided to go 'rootless', meaning that parts of the operating system are essentially inaccessible to you. Running applications like debugging tools requires you to either sign the binary yourself, or run it as root (sudo), both of which are a pain. All because MacOS doesn't trust the user, it would seem. Definitely a philosophy that carries through in both Apple's hardware and software.

  • Certified Apple repair technician. First off, alot of their repair facilities? Hidden as a different kind of facility in badge-locked warehouses. Weird AF, very shady. There was probably something illegal going on in the backdoors, I'll be real with you. The security regarding the repair facilities goes well beyond any reasonable measures youd expect of a commercial facility. Second, a whole lot of their laptops, if you'd like to fix an issue with the keyboard? Go ahead and tear down the *entire* laptop. The whole entire thing. That includes jamming a sharp object up under the very soft battery so you can remove their flimsy, snappable tape that can easily rip open the battery if you try to take it off with the tape torn even slightly. We had multiple chemical fires because of this, including an eye injury. They also just suck in general. Consistently lower performance to any competitor for a massively inflated price and severely tanked freedom of use. Do not purchase Apple. Ever. The company needs to wake up and face the music or end up in a dustbin.

  • Two things you missed: 1: Apple is the only major laptop manufacturer to make replacing the display panel impossible, instead the entire display assembly must be replaced. 2: While not specifically *repair*, along the same lines was when Apple disabled all charging safety features in 2013 in test markets in China. If the iPhone 4 didn't detect an official Apple charger, it would simply ignore all safety protocols. Dozens of iPhone 4 in China caught fire and exploded. This was reverted in 2013 after Ma Ailun was killed by her phone exploding. After a lawsuit that was settled out of court, Apple pushed an update to all affected phones that reinstated all safety features, refunded all iPhone 4s sold to affected parties, and gave everyone affected a brand new charger. In addition to the unknown amount settled, it is estimated that this stunt cost Apple $75m-$100m.

  • What is also worth mentioning is that quite a lot of parts - typically power regulator ICs, battery charging ICs and so on are made impossible to obtain. IC manufacturers have signed contracts to provide certain components only to the final product manufacturers. Renesas for example manufactures ICs, but you cannot buy the, get their datasheets or sometimes even find them on their site. And all of that is because Apple and other electronic devices producers have contracts with the IC manufacturers to do so. Another thing might be how Apple and others treat repairs. They do whatever they can to stop everybody from repairing their products. You must be their partner, who must then follow Apple rules - like Sell first, fix second. You cannot fix at the component level and you can't reuse parts from broken devices. Apple themselves do not repair things. They replace whole assemblies. Not mentioning Apple is not doing any data recovery. All "bad parts" including fully functional MacBook motherboards with just one shorted capacitor must be recycled. That means grinded to unusable waste, which is then "ecologically" processed. Not even attempt to use good parts or fixing anything.

    • Easy, most Apple customers use their products for like 1-2 years and move onto the next model when it's released. The only people affected by this are second-hand users and people who want to use their stuff for 5+ years, Apple considers them low priority. They want paying customers, not customers who use a single product forever without issues. That's not profitable. All manufacturers do this, some simply stop producing replacement parts after 2-3 years, end software support, make new software incompatible with older hardware or lock the bootloader. The point stands: people who frequently replace their Apple products are highly unlikely to encounter hardware issues so they'll remain loyal customers. That's also the reason why many people buy new cars and sell them after 3-4 years when it's still fine, problems usually start happening after the 5 year mark.

Mindful consumers who bought from other companies like Samsung etc. to avoid Apple now basically have become Apple themselves. It's very frustrating seeing Apple setting anti consumer/environment trends in the industry, ultimately leaving consumers with no or very limited choice to avoid devices that have adapted Apple's consumer unfriendly design decisions. Mostly because of Apple, we have lost user removable batteries, expandable storage, the headphone jack, modular and upgradable devices, etc. Everything which made devices better for the consumer and the environment has been removed or never existed on Apple's products, and has also been removed from the competition because they also adapted Apple's toxic hardware design. Thank you so much for these extremely important videos, Hugh!
