The anti repair argument is pure insanity there would be no safety risk if the bloody manufacturer made it easy to remove the battery or any other component that can cause risk
@@ellisgarbutt1925 Tell that to the Samsung XCover series of phones. IP68 resistant, and all with a removable battery and headphone jack. It's a bullshit excuse.
Contrarians always find some mental gymnastics to justify the most ridiculous things
@@nathansstuff1547 exactly
@@nathansstuff1547 this 100%, and I have an Alcatel Glimpse on Android 10 GO as my backup/hiking phone, which has a removable back/battery, a headphone jack and even claims it's water resistant
@@ellisgarbutt1925 Apart from what others have said about you being wrong. I wonder just how this idea ever gets repeated. Just how would gluing the battery help make the phone waterproof? Its BS on the face of it. Now if they "glued it in" by pouring epoxy all over it.... maybe, but some double sided tape? really??
We need more companies like framework making repairable devices
Agreed
But not charging a bomb for it.
Fairphone has been great so far.
@@NoobsDeSroobs there’s no question about that. But the phones just cost too much under the guise of repairability
This is so bad, wish everyone ability to afford framework part
Nice seeing you as a young lad! Thanks for all your advocacy around these right to repair issues.

There is no logical reasoning to oppose right to repair. Thanks for calling this out.
There's only logic to the manufacturer as that means folks will keep their phones longer and not buy another one
You can't argue logic with apple sheep, since they didn't logic themselves into that position in the first place. (Replace apple sheep with other nicknames for blind fanboyism of other brands)
There is one: money
@Akshay Anand maybe theme it around a dystopia like brave new world or 1984.
I'm also an electronic repair guy and anti repair sucks because repairing is the way we make money and I truly want to help the environment
We enjoy repairing stuff ss well!*
Sucks? You can be thankfull for it, you have a job. If it wasnt there i could replace battery or screen myself if it was meant to be changed.
@@swd6430 you're not the only person in the world. you forgot the general population don't know how to repair their own phones.
@@swd6430 true
@@swd6430you're overestimating the ability of some folks to even think about just disassembling something
The world needs more people like you to advocate for us (helpless consumers). Thank you!
You can help by voting with your wallet, never again buy another new Apple or Samsung other anti-repair company's products or services.
Seeing that video of you doing repairs as a child made me smile! It's nice to see that you've always had an interest in repairing, even at that young of an age!
MAKE A TPOT 5 MINECRAFT VIDEO
I hope EU will do something, just like with the USB-C
Yep, it will just take some time
You hit the nail on the head…. Anti-repair is driven by greed and corruption.
You hit the nail on the head at every point you brought up. Thank you
I still have my cheap tablet for movies, been replacing the battery everytime it needs replacing. Now I modded it with two massive batteries and now last double than stock lol.
Just love your videos. There are just few people like you in the world
Great video Hugh! Loved the flashback to the masonry repair expert. LOL
Funny...
They make an argument for anti-repair because someone could have fixed your phone with stolen parts...
Well, maybe if the manufacturer sold their replacement parts for what they were actually worth it wouldn't be profitable to "sell stolen parts".
It just feels like the AirPods solution to a problem of a headphone jack removed 10 minutes prior... A pricy solution to a stupid issue...
i feel that most people defending anti-repair/user unfriendly phone design are apple fans that dont realise that apple can be wrong, and/or they dont want to admit that apple did something wrong because of buyers remorse/guilt. When i was a teenager, I would defend nintendo relentlessly. but when i got older i realised that i can like something while still seeing its flaws. I still like nintendo, and play there games regularly, but at the end of the day, I know nintendos in the wrong when they shut down emulation, or fan games, and i wont defend them doing it, if anything I agree with the people calling nintendo out on it.
Karma is asshole, if they have no money they realize it as well
It's so strange when people internalize corporate gaslighting.
Hey Apple, we know you are bullshitting us.
xd so true
The problem is that there are billions of people who don't know or don't care...
and some of their users are buying into that too unfortunately.
They don’t want to care most certainly. My opinion is, that u should be able to repair your iPhone whenever u want and someone big needs to force APPLE Bullshitting Inc. to such a thing! ! !
@@stevenrisnyovszky1120 fear and armed violence can change apple, as well as youtube and other corporate 'tards.
Thank you for educating us and the socity.
Amazing viedo.
But what if you damage the battery while trying to take it out cause the manufacturer used the strongest glue they had
Manufacturers claim they care about the environment while making tech more disposable and harder to fix
Really appreciate your videos. Especially ones like this one with a lot of info. Nice throwing in the baby Hugh vid. :D
The fact that this video is needed is pure insanity
Yea. Remove charger in the name of environmental claim but "force" user to toss the iphone to landfill if its broken. Will happen in 3 to 5 years from now
It's because they can sell you the charger separately in an extra box using up more cardboard and plastic because environment or something.
@@planetphatness and also they can sell more of phones + separate charger when the old one "unrepairable(by design)" to please the so called 'greedy' investor/
💯 Thank you for this great Video!!!!
All very well said. Going deep on this. Thanks
Your every word is golden on this matter
Spot on!! Thank you!!
I could have not put it in any better words. Absolutely agree we should run some petition
All those anti-repair people should be publicly shamed.
yes
Fantastic points. 👏👏👏
This video should be a presentation to congress
This video sums it all up. Thank you
Thank you for making this video me and my friend were literally arguing about this a few days ago and he said that it was safety. I’m totally showing this video to him
We need more people with your mindset in important places. You're a standup kind of guy. Wish you all the best and hope that someday the right to repair will be implemented in all legislation. Thanks for all your effort.
Thank you Mr. Jeffreys for your advocacy against anti-repair...
It’s so cute that as just a wee boy you were already so methodical!
Excellent arguments mate ... I hope one day you are used as expert witness on governmental enquiry into corporate gerrymandering of sales and collateral e-waste.
Been with you 100% since day one Hugh. I've been into phone customisation since the Galaxy s4 and iPhone 4s. Making something your own once you've bought it is done EVERYWHERE. You don't buy a house and leave it exactly as it is, no, you add to it, to make it feel better for you or fit a certain aesthetic you have in mind.
Greed is the only thing these manufacturers know anymore, and that passes down to customers as they become so used to just buying another product once even the smallest thing happens to their current device. No wonder the planet is just a huge landfill now, overflowing with eWaste. If money can be made, the world will always suffer.
Very good. You're a voice of sanity.
Watching you, Louis R., Zack (JerryRigEverything) made me enjoy more DIY. Keep up the good work.
I would personally NEVER attempt to repair a phone myself as I don’t have the technical know-how nor the inclination (I usually regard a broken device as a good excuse to get that shiny new device I’ve been wanting) but there is simply ZERO justification for these companies to disallow third-party repair of their products and especially to actively design them in such a way as to make proper repairs impossible (i.e. Apple’s draconian tactic of labeling parts as “not genuine”, even though they are, just because they were replaced without Apple’s blessing). These tactics are blatantly anti-consumer and are a naked attempt by the manufacturers to force people to buy new devices when they really should not need to. When you buy any product you should OWN said product and be allowed to do whatever you want with it, period. Especially with how ridiculously priced these new devices already are these days.
Baby Hugh was absolutely too adorable😭❤
4:48 lmao 😂 I am here for Hacker Hugh 😊
Good concept mate... Appreciated... got yourself a subscriber (Y)
Tiny Hugh fixing a house. Big Hugh fixing phones. Old Hugh fixing quantum mechanics?
Ain't no surprise cause, financial issues to kept the new project requires a lot of money for doing it every 1 year cause user can use almost 3 years before any sign of worn out part repair begin to take effects.
We need more of little Hugh
Well said, Hugh!
Well said - thanks for all you do.
Funny how superficial justifications seemingly convince people. Thank you for taking the time to cut through the BS and sharing how ridiculous anti-repair measures are.
Preventing third-party repair may be even MORE dangerous than allowing it.
My current daily driver, an MSI GF63 8RC, is four years old, give or take. While not everything inside is user-replaceable, such as the CPU and GPU being soldered to the motherboard, it's really easy to clean and all the other major components can be upgraded or replaced.
That includes the battery.
Now, as soon as I mentioned the battery, you probably know where I'm going with this. Well, a year and a half ago, I noticed that my laptop's chassis was warped a bit towards the front and my space bar and touchpad were becoming increasingly unresponsive. I looked up a disassembly video on my laptop's model and saw that the battery was towards the front of the laptop - the same place where I was having problems. So I carefully opened up my laptop, following the disassembly video and was met with a nasty spicy pillow. I was able to get rid of it and order in a new battery which I was able to use instead without any complications.
Now, imagine if I had to go to, say MSI to get that battery replaced for whatever reason. I would have to either take my laptop to MSI myself or mail it to them. Would it even survive the trip? Not helping things was that that battery had been swollen like that for quite some time. Who knew how much longer that battery had left before exploding? And I'm pretty sure spicy pillows and aeroplanes don't mix. Replacing the battery myself was the safest route to take, as it was the quickest and negated the dangers of transporting the device to the people who supposedly had to be the ones to fix it, be it poor handling of the device or taking it many, many metres into the sky.
A perfect response or anti-battery repair fanboys
@@ErevanDB (cough) Future Motion (cough)
Great points, and more importantly, it’s the right thing to do. Business models based on undermining consumers are not the answer. These companies need to embrace and come up with more sustainable business practices and product development processes, including spare parts and their distribution in every region they commercialize them. Thanks for this video!
Well spoken. Well said. Well done. 👏
I enjoy these videos ,even though I don't know one end of a screw driver from the other, even I can learn something.
Thanks for very important message about repair a rate to repair your own phone. That’s why I stop fixing my phone. I ran into too many issues with Apple and other Samsung products.
I do hope one day the FTC can file a huge lawsuit against the tech industry for even allowing this shady practice to take place
It's up to local governments to make laws to enforce this paradigm. They were roadblocked for a while now, but rtr is finally starting to win.
Changed the style of content but still my favourite TH-cam content creater
Someone in Louis community said, serilaized parts could be blocked from working only when the device is reported stolen
Not by default (and its even still partially working as you said)
I'm hoping Louis Rossmann's video on the Macbooks Sleep Sensor finally opens the eyes of people who are against right to repair on why it's needs to be a thing
That's y i love watching your contents u are one of the many technician i see doing videos like this speaking about the rights to repair its unfair to the owner to spend so much money on a device and can't repair it if its damaged it's like u don't have full ownership over your device
Young Hugh sure was a Cute repairman, and he grew up to be this amazing youtube.
Every week, someone drops an Apple phone or five (5) at my home so that I can repair them. Why? They can't get any of the local shops 0:05 to repair them. I seldom see Android devices because they're easily repaired by the local shops. If I sound like a crotchety old man, it's because I am. I'd rather goof off in my old age as a retired technician than mess with devices that are intentionally designed to be difficult, if not impossible, to repair.
@@nomebear The anti repair argument is pure insanity there would be no safety risk if the bloody manufacturer made it easy to remove the battery or any other component that can cause risk
Great stuff
I loved the memory scene
“If I’m not he bad guy, why should I suffer?”
Me: *pro 2A noises*
Good work mate, same thoughts. Be safe 🙏
Even if I'm going to go with the first party option for repair, I hate the idea of there being a monopoly for repair too, as it means the monopoly owner can charge an egregious price to force you to just buy new stuff
There's also the interests of the people living near electronics landfills outside of the US. If I have to dispose of a 'useless' phone it likely ends up contributing to a toxicity problem for other people.
Young Hugh with some tuckpointing action!!
Imagine if car manufacturers did the same thing and only allowed you to use their workshops to service your car and you could only use genuine parts, not aftermarket, otherwise your airbags won't work or your abs brakes won't function correctly. There would be an absolute uproar!
some already do that
Great point!
👍🏽 We're getting there...slowly, but surely.
To be fair, automakers are also doing their best to head in this direction as well
Well said! 👍
"should people not be able to repair their car for the exact same reason?"
Tesla: "allow us to introduce ourselves"
Good video. You talk alot of sense Hugh.
I agree with you
If we are able to repair sommthing our selves we should beallowed to do so
Oh and about battery danger:
It is dangerous, to have an expanded battery glued in a sealed glass sandwich. That is a fire hazard. Not removing it...
If they wanted to prevent theft of stolen phone parts they could blacklist the serials of the parts of the stolen phone instead of whitelisting factory parts with the manufactures blessing
"to prevent theft." LOL
and that one comment that thanked apple. OMG
is the earth flat too?
Imagine willingly giving a device manufacturer access to your bio metrics.
Someone seeing the battery explode: “I am so doing this!” 😍
I've personally encountered those kind of people in the circle I'm in, and as a modder and tinkerer, it's hard to hold my anger against them
In a time of diminishing natural resources it seems stupid to disallow anyone to access repair rather than new purchase; but then Corporate execs only concern is their annual bonus
Well said my dude. Keep fighting the good fight.
why is it that only in tech this happens?
recently had to change my wipers on my Renault, using their argument I shouldn't have done that and instead gone to a Renault certified garage and gotten them changed their. this analogy extends to refilling various fluids in the system, and changing filters or tyres or whatnot.
Saved and fixed up 4 Macbooks so far, thank god Find My was turned off on all of them! I repairing tech so that will always be my go to
Very well said
When your toilet paper runs out, don't buy more toilet paper, buy a new toilet
Theft wise, block parts marked as stolen. Re-sale wise, provide a tool to scan the phone for 3rd part parts on-demand. It's such an easy problem if it wasn't about making the consumer buy new products.
I find it hard to believe those are real words from real people.
Few days ago I'm replacing my Xr battery myself with 3rd party one that got extra capacity after some thought about this kinda thing..yeah the unknown part warning shows up after that..but nah..my Xr right now works flawlessly and the battery last much longer.. quite happy and satisfied for what I'm done.. I've own the device so i should be able to do what i want..
Thanks for your unadulterated truth🙌
@Hugh Jefferys : Manufactures are so stupid. They could make money by selling the parts needed for repair. Also, I agree with you 1000%. If someone wishes to repair their devices themselves, why shouldn't they?
I would like to add that I enjoy your channel. You know your way around devices and I pick up some great tips on repair. Thank you for a great channel
Nah, they make more money selling new 1300$ phones
Always love your videos. I would never attempt a repair my self . But love to watch you repair them . Keep up the good work.😊
Carry on mate!
One hundred percent agreed.
The think of the children or other lines to give up your freedoms seems to still fool people.
Why out of all the materials they could choose for a "premium" back panel, did they choose something as brittle as glass?
Yeah, I don't get it. I've only ever had "budget" phones with plastic panels (LG Escape 3, Motorola G Power, and now a OnePlus Nord N10 5G), and the worst that can happen to them is getting scuffed. At no point have they ever come close to being shattered.
What I like about my Google Pixel 5 is that it has a metal back instead of glass. Wireless charging still works so I dont understand why most companies aren't using metal other than for money reasons.
@@WiiUniverse Does that still hold up in terms of performance? I was thinking of getting a used Pixel 6 myself.
Glass backs are so difficult to keep clean, so difficult to hold steady, so easy to scratch and shatter, so expensive to replace, all in the name of _MINIMALIST AESTHETICS._ I've seen so many phones whose back glass are completely busted.
Was this young Hugh? So sweer! 🤗
They are also trying to prevent people from repairing devices because of the money from the company repairing or the user just buying a new phone
The problem faced outside USA is the part availability such as battery which are hard to get once they are EOL by manufacturers and ifixit or others don't ship to all locations over the world
