Apple's repair policy is like a car manufacturer forcing you to buy tires from them or the car will disable power steering, windshield wipers and ABS
If you only knew.
This is a real thing, BMW needs the headlights programmed to the car if you replace the modules, Toyotas need the radar programmed to the car if you unplug the front radar (even if you plug the same radar back in), VWs need the battery programmed to the car. This was a huge pain when I was working in collision repair.
@@Fhwgads11 Thank to God- i have 1992. Mitsubishi Colt. Only extra is power stearing. No AC, no elektric windows, seats, mirrors
@@Fhwgads11 Agreed, you need to code in some stuff, but you don't need to go to the manufacturer to do so (except keys and ignition, but imo there's a reasonable safety reason). Everything can be done by anyone with proper tools and knowledge.
Apple requires you to contact them directly and only they can code it in, which I guess they won't do if you didn't buy the parts from them.
And you can’t remove the lug nuts when you get a flat tire to put the spare tire on.
Scratch that; the spare tire isn’t even included. If you get a flat you need to contact the dealership directly and get them to deliver a brand new tire to you; rim not included.
For Apple, right to repair means only Apple has the right to repair.
99% of repairs are back glass, screen, and battery. Aftermarket parts are plenty and work just fine. Camera repairs are rare- easier to refurbish the glass.
Edit: unlike Hugh, I worked at an independent shop in a major city and performed thousands of Apple and android repairs. No doubt the Apple makes it harder but I’ve never had an issue with aftermarket parts for devices I fixed and most people didn’t care or know what True Tone was I told them they wouldn’t have it anymore. Y’all are just hating too much.
@@makeitrainnarenMaybe you missed the part where the fucking phone gives a warning message even with a genuine display or battery replacement.
@@zetsubou3704 it still works. Your average consumer doesn’t give a hoot about True Tone or bms status. I have fixed thousands of android and iOS devices in my career g chill out
@electromega3077 --- Apple is the only major with a self-repair program. On iPhone14 and 15 they've totally redesigned the phone interiors to make them easier to repair.
Also around the world there are many cities with no Apple Store. As a result, they work with a network of around 8,000 independent authorized shops. Their best scenario is to have customers who don't need repairs at all.
And they dont even repair.. they just replace
I have worked in the collision repair industry for like 10 years and in just the amount of time i have been doing it I have learned the have made it nearly impossible to do any kind of maintenance on your own car. They won't even let the owner know what fuses are what. And it's disgusting how it's going to be soon . Get ready ro not actually own your car soon
And phones
Everything being made so complicated to repair to the point where I wonder if the technicians themselves can understand
I love how they made the back glass removable but attached other components like the charging coil or the mic to it to make aftermarket parts more difficult to source and potentially remove some of the iPhone's functionality if you dare to use non original, aftermarket parts on your own phone. A flssh that is misbehaving or white noise from the mic could be some classy Apple shenanigans when it comes to changing the back glass. Except of course when you reuse the parts from the old back glass, which looks like a pain in the ass to do...
I'm sure with the iPhone 16, Apple will figure out software pairing of the adhesive strips and individual screws.
@@syvulpie"deeper integration" 😮
We joke about that but I wouldn’t put it past them. I’m going to check on this comment every few years to see if I’m ever right.
I'm surprised there isn't a LED inside that can work in reverse and transmit a signal whenever it detects light from someone opening it. Then needing a software reset before something asinine like volume buttons work again.
Don't give them idea lol.
@@syvulpierivets. I fully support Apple to use rivets instead of screws, just for us to sh*t on apple for more
It never crossed my mind that a phone company will be praised for a "removable" rear glass, yet here we are.
And... it's software paired.
@@alessioacri.the wireless charger coil is, but that’s removable from the glass.
@@EvilTurkeySlices thats still very sad
They have been abused for so long they've accustomed to it.
It's wild and sad state of current big companies and consumerism really.
I'm old enough to used a "dumb phone" such Nokia 5100 when users could practically replace most part of the phone themself with little to no expertise and specialize tool.
Long gone the day when we're able to swap part like batteries, keyboard, keypad ourself easily.
Great video as always Hugh. You make the best videos which shows how unrepairable iPhones are. I watch your videos probably almost from the very beginning of your youtube channel. The level of production you have reached is great and what I like the most is how you have shifted from Apple positive person to full right to repair guy. Keep up with good work !
Thank you, I appreciate that!
@@HughJeffreys He never replied so welcome
Hi Hugh. I've watched a guy replacing wireless charging coil on Iphone 14pro. Somehow it was paired to the phone as well, where once replaced it prevented phone from saving any photos taken in the phone's gallery. The shutter worked but no phots were available in it's gallery...
So i'll guarantee it will be the same case, with getting rear glass replaced on iphone 15 pro... Have a great day 👍🏻
When I saw apple announce this was going to be the easiest apple phone to repair to date i thought "will see about that when Hugh Jefferys does a tear down" and that day has finally arrived :)
Yeah I still think the 7 has the 15 beat
Sure it's easy to 'repair:' just buy a new phone! 😃
@@peterhindes56switching from my 8+ to the 15 pro was a great decision and everything is better
The iphone 6 and 5 was 20x easier then this lol
@@BarrySmoother Less parts, less advanced technology, no shit it’s easier
As soon as the iPhone 15 came out, I was waiting for your video of switching the parts. Always my favorite part! Amazing video!
Awesome! Thank you!
@@HughJeffreysHello You know You really got me into taking Apart stuff And I do thank you.
I saw in another video that apple still uses serialized hardware unfortunately. It was tested with identical model phones and did a hardware swap. :/
@@HughJeffreys Im also curious to know, if you have the USB C port from one phone and you swap it to the other phone would it also be serialized? Also thanks for getting me into fixing many apple devices.
They always manage to disappoint me by software pairing some parts
I think the reason apple realized the back had to be easier to remove is because especially with AppleCare it was costing so much for them to provide replacements to the back glass.
As a 14 Pro user with AppleCare+, it was kinda crazy to pay just $30 for a replacement back glass (they didn’t give me a new phone, and it came with a new battery replacement) given how much it would cost to do that myself (lots of time) or out of warranty (lots of money).
100% you did not get a new battery for $30 at Apple.
@@Ludak021 according to the software repair history (and the battery health showing 100%) it was replaced at the same time.
They could have just done a recalibration and maybe that caused that though.
It STILL COMPLETELY BAFFLES ME 😦 about HOW MANY screws (and the various types/sizes etc), cables and thus connectors there are. It's just BEWILDERING how COMPLEX it is to get the phone down to a bare chassis! You look at other 'Slab' phones and there's generally HALF the amount of screws and ribbon cables/connectors lol 😏
😎🇬🇧
The sheer complexity of assembling these phones is insane. No wonder they sell at a premium!
Completely unsurprising. Unless someone steps in, in order to specifically counter this, they'll do it again next time too. It's horrible, and clearly predatory
Just don't buy from them. Plain and simple. It amazes me how people want change, yet their purchasing decisions still support their behavior.
@@Michael-zf1kosmall brain argument
My suprise was the still glued battery! Fairphone can make their phone work without any glue and still have watrr resistance.
@@Michael-zf1ko The bigger problem is when there are no alternatives. Ideally, you do this and the problem fixes itself, but most people are not tech-savvy or just don't bother.
When it comes to phones it's not such a big problem, but there have been issues with farming equipment, medical equipment, and military equipment.
P.S. Sadly Apple is not the only company doing this.
then from whom we need to buy? There is no other phone manufacturer that doesn't sell your data and don't waste your time on ads, fine tuning, malware and upgrades your phone even after 6 years after you buy it.
Apple's repair policy is like a car manufacturer forcing you to buy OEM windshield washer fluid or the car will disable the wipers, auto headlights/dimmer function, and the HVAC windshield vent selection.
Yah, but window washer fluid doesn't have access to all your data.
Damn, you just have them the printer ink model for washer fluid.
@@michaelfilippi3276
*Not yet...*
Don't give them any ideas..
I mean they technically do it with the windshields in modern cars that have all the self driving and other assists that use windshield mounted cameras cause no third party has access to the tools needed to recalibrate the sensors/cameras for the new windshield so why not just have it all done at a dealership where you can get OEM glass and sensor recalibration all in one stop
Amazing Talent man. The way you open it up, put it back and open it up again and again is amazing. Great skills man. Love your videos always.
You are my favorite teardown and repair videos. Keep up the good work.
One thing worth pointing out is that even though they changed to USB C the data transfer speed of the base and Plus models aren't any faster than lightning was, it's still USB 2 speeds of 480mbps. If you want proper modern USB 3.2 gen 2 speeds of up to 10gbps you'll have to buy the Pro and Pro Max model, however they still come with a USB 2 cable so you have to buy a new one if you actually want to use that speed
What android device comes with a 3.0 cable or higher? Or even supports it.
Every single phone past ~2019 supports 3.0, it was released back in 2007 and it's been a standard since. Apple just wants another reason to make you spend more@@makeitrainnaren
@@makeitrainnaren most Flagship lines have been doing so for around five years, the base Galaxy S10 had USB 3.1
Also you know usb3 is around 10 times faster than usb2 right ?
@@makeitrainnarenMost big brand phones support it, pretty much all Pixel, Samsung, and a good amount of other brands on the market right now. There isn't a detailed list online, but if you type your question on Google with the word reddit after it, you can find a post someone made with a link to a GSMArena search that shows most of the ones known. I don't know about cables, probably only the high end ones I assume. The cable I could care less about, a decent cable isn't expensive. The big thing is whether the phone supports it.
@@DanielPereira-ey9nt Samsung bundles usb 2.0 cables cause they use proprietary fast charging tech what you talking about? iPhone 15 is lame for not supporting that- but again ask an average cell phone user if they know what usb 3.0 is and they’re not gonna know. People also sleep on the fact Apple was part of the usb c consortium and alongside intel actually helped develop and push this port in the first place.
The only good thing about the fact that the big reparability issues with iPhones are basically just software based, is that if at some point apple decides to make them repairable (or more likely are forced to do it) it should work retroactively and not just with the newest version
Their lawyers will be working overtime to explain to legislators why it is not technically possible to make past iPhone models repairable
@@alex15095they‘ll delay it to an own iOS version so iPhones who lived through their 5 years software updates won‘t get it, meaning old phones stay unrepairable.
@@alex15095 Don't be silly, the legal documents have already been drafted...
There is no good thing when you basically said "Apple could do this thing right now" but they arent "but they could" they could donate all their money to feed starving people or to fix other global issues, but they wont, just like they wont make this or any futute models fully repairable.
Hey thanks for all the work you do for these videos ... very informative.
Another year another flagship iPhone reparability assessment from Hugh love to see it every time
Smartly naming the boards "B" "S". Good one, Hugh! 😂
Thanks Hugh for giving an insight into how Apple continue to make it hard for people to sort bothers with their products other than contacting them only. How you dont trap those wires lol getting it all back i will never know. Thanks for showing us all again.
Thank you for doing these replacement analysis videos. I always look forward to your video when a new iPhone is announced. Especially this year with the claim of a more repairable iPhone.
I would love to see a comparison video for other brands, like Google Samsung OnePlus etc.
Been looking for a tear down video of the iPhone 15 like forever. Thanks for finally sharing this.
I was thrilled when I saw they made the rear glass removable, however as it seems from durability tests of the new iPhones, it probably also caused the rear glass to become much more fragile and easy to break, which is pretty unfortunate and I'm not sure if it's worth it...
its worth it to apple, since they'll have plenty of people buying replacement rear glass panels...
Never assume Apple didn't design it like that on purpose to give fuel to the anti-repair shill‘s argument.
I wonder if it’s more the fact that they rounded the corner more. In the 12-14 the glass was more protected by the frame because it sat mostly flush but now that it’s more rounded the glass protrudes out of the frame more
@@jarboerand not only that, with the ability to remove the back glass, they did in fact made it weaker. As if that's what Apple was aiming for when they reduced the replacement price
It does. Jerryrigeverything proved it.
Just an idea.
They should make magnetic mats specifically for iPhones & other phones.
It should have an outline for parts and screws on the mat with any important information needed for tear downs or assembly.
They should call it imat and will cost only 199$
@@Generallyannoyed2024 never seen one.
Tho maybe the same idea.
They make those
Thanks Hugh! Great video as always!
I just used the ifixit battery kit to fix my 2020 SE. Worked great
Thank you Mr. Jeffrey for all your efforts in showing everyone what Apple is doing in terms of changes to the phone, and the level of repairability of the iPhone 15.
Greetings,
Anthony...
Im glad you mentioned adhesive before closing the screen. Alot vids close the screen without talking about the water repellant seal around the screen.
I am still rocking the 13 Pro Max and once it dies, I will be moving BACK to an Android handset...most likely a Motorola. There is no SANE reason as to why I should keep paying an INSANE amount of money for a handset that has stopped innovating back in 2011! Thanks for the video Hugh, keep up the great work.
iPhones lasts for so long. Are you sure ur gonna be able to wait? 🤣 i suggest you smash it so you can switch now
This is the reason why ur paying insane amounts of money, because of how long these lasts.
@@aoming6398I do still use Samsung galaxy Notes , bought in 2018.
Still works and looks like new after 5 years 😅
See you in 4 years
@@aoming6398 are you fucking slow or some shit??! Why the hell is someone gonnna smash an iPhone so you can get a fucking SAMSANG?!?!?!?
I gave up on "smart" phones a few years ago and now have a £20 Nokia which stays at home more often than not, it has no camera, no apps, nothing. What did it for me, and I did fall into the trap and that's why I quit having one, is watching people in restaurants and bars paying more attention to their phones than the people they are with or having conversations interrupted by messages and having it waved in my face to see the latest picture, give them up, while you still can.
at least you HAVE that option (im assuming UK?)
here in the US, there are no longer any cell providers that will support a phone that cannot accept anything lower than 4G/LTE. 3G bands are completely gone, rendering old phones (that i would love to use!!) useless. its absolutely infuriating.
not to mention a lot of workplaces now expect and practically require you to have a smartphone. its complete bs, but im very happy to hear at least SOMEONE is getting to live my dream lol
@@shugarysubstancesthere are some phone manufacturers that do make newer flip phones that are compatible with current cell towers! They’re cheap shit, most of the time, not nearly as well built or long lasting as an older model, but if you’re just looking for a phone that can do pretty much just calls and text messages, they exist.
Although the point of employers requiring smartphones, that’s valid. Even my employer (arbys) wants you to download an app just to look at your work schedule for the week. And then you’ve got places, like the one at dad works at, that basically expect you to be able to work 24/7 even if you’re not near a computer. So, in that case you need a smartphone that can say run Microsoft teams and a bunch of other stupid apps.
I absolutely love your iPhone repairability videos! ❤❤
they made backglass easily replaceable but also added the wireless charging there for increased cost.
You got it 😂
Your tear down videos have improved over the years. Way to go
Another great video mate
Hardware still needs to be made a little more repairable, and the software locking needs to be loosened massively. Even if it was for security, heres a solution that would be JUST as "secure" and still give the user the ability to repair their phones.
On the apple website if they would let you buy their "verified" parts yourself as if it were another product or accessory, when you recieve the part it is "unpaired", when you put the new part into the phone and log in, you then pair the part and it becomes a working part that cannot be used in another persons phone.
This would satisfy the (shitty) argument that the parts pairing is done to prevent Iphone theft, while still allowing user servicing. However, we all know apples clear intentions about having to do all the repairs through them, and thats money and more money.
Well apple already sells replacement parts, they‘re just massively overpriced
This is exactly how it works via the self-repair program, but the problem is that it's too expensive and still results in e-waste. Parts cannot be scavenged from broken phones. You really have to balance anti-theft with e-waste.
I don't really know why but every year I come here with some hope that they will remove these active anti repair tatics, but nobody apparently really cares. Big channels like MKBHD never talks about things like that, and even the small channels never mentioned. It's like it's not important or they just choose to ignore. They just need to watch some well made video of Tim with mother nature that they get brainwashed and work more to sell the product than to actually review it from all sides.
They can't criticize it or talk about it or they will lose their payroll from daddy cook
They are likely in the pocket of Apple to some degree, none of them will tread on toes to the access they have at Apple events etc plus they know Apple products so over hyped they get bit view counts
@@Spoonfed78 Apple mentioned MKBHD by name in their keynote. They have him under their thumbs unfortunately
That's why you don't watch overrated youtubers like MKBHD
@@iMrParker That's why I don't watch him anymore, his channel is becoming more and more shallow anyways.
Great Video Hugh!! I always love to watch your videos!
Have you also tried to swap just the back glass? And if yes, did it give any errors or random mallfunctions?
nice one Hugh, really interesting to watch
You forgot a thing - If you swap the back glass, the flash (and wireless charging coil?) is serialized. So if you take a picture with the front-facing cam when having the flash on, the image doesn't save.
Great demonstration and a clear message! It's so frustrating to see it's quite repairable if not for the software locks. I'm just curious to know how possible it is to overcome some of these with previous hacks? For example swapping the battery circuitry from the original battery or cloning the display's serial number to get True Tone working again. Also I'm curious to know why it is so difficult to overcome these software limitations?
They definitely use encryption.
Else someone would have made a tool that can pair everything unofficially by now.
Man. I was just waiting for your video ❤❤ sending love and respect to you from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 ❤
1:38 “At least, for now.” Really appreciate the many points this channel is getting across and I’m not even two minutes in.
What is your take on this more repairable back glass, but then breaking much easier than before as can be seen in some early drop test comparisons? I assume because of the way it’s no longer entirely glued giving it it’s integrity. Or due to the rounded edges exposing the glass more instead of protecting it by the lip of the bezel.
But it wasn't the problem with samsung or any android phone with back glass. Apple just messed up with glass
This time, since the glass is not cemented to the frame, it should allow for more flex making it less susceptible to damage from a twist. The exposed round edges is the problem.
Or, hear me out, drop tests are far from a reliable test which yields meaningful results
@@jonathancormack JerryRigEverything literally managed to break glass by pushing on it
@@DimaKirivel I did see that is well.
ive been waiting for this since the announcement, thank you for the hard work!
i love your voice, you bring so much passion to my day
Love that you are self taught, much respect, new subscriber and will be back for more.
Given the development lifecycle of these things (Which is probably longer than the year we _conned-sumers_ see between iPhone releases) it'll be interesting to see how repairable the 15S (Or 16, or 15,2 or whatever they call it) will be to verify the quality of Apples greenwashing. Part of me wonders if the „Repairability“ aspect might take a while to filter down to design and production? 😇
I won't consider buying one of those until they make it 100% consumer repairable. Honestly there are many other brands to choose and way cheaper. Untill now still watching how this will progress with apple
this is exactly why i have preordered the pixel 8 pro because of how repairable it is and all the calibration tools are available to us the end user at no extra cost
Thanks Hugh 😊
Appreciate this video and your skill.
Great stuff Hugh! Yeah, Apple isn't doing the right to repair without kicking and screaming some more. I'm still happy with my iPhone 7 Plus....but of course the iOS isn't supported any longer for full upgrades and only minor security ones...which always makes me think what am I missing from iOS 16/17? I just can't justify dumping $800-1000 USD into another phone.
Until your next cool video!! 1 Million subs coming soon!!
Just don’t put your credit card information on your phone 😬 I’d be worried about the exploits
Sooner or later you wont be able to use any apps when they support your ios version anymore
@@htfab9251he got years for that
In JerryRigEverything's video, the 15 pro max's back glass broke during a bend test, which I believe is Apple trying to convince people that making the back glass replaceable degraded the durability.
TRUE. didn't even think about it like this.
It doesn’t tho, because the base model iPhone 14 and 14 Plus don’t have this problem. I think it has more to do with them not quite understanding how to properly implement it along with the titanium frame
@@lacosta0892 of course it doesn't, but apple is trying to say "hey look we made it repairable and now it's more fragile. right to repair sux!!!1!11" because of the anti-consumerism that the company is now notorious for
Thank you. You're the best❤
as always great video with lot of info
As soon as those new iPhones came out, I was waiting, to see when you’d post! Such great videos you have.
Amazing teardown, its still complicated to disassemble I would love to see how these are assembled on a production line, wonder how long it takes to fully assemble?
Thanks Hugh!
Thank You the video!
This anti repair parts pairing is one of the reasons I still avoid iPhones to this day, even with 15s having USB-C. I still do care about my phones, Im super careful, but you never know what accident can happen and if you would ever need to have it repaired, or simple battery swap, with this software pairing ensuring it looses major functionality, it is sadly no for me, but it had me on edge with USB-C finally.
The teardown I have been waiting for, finally
Finally a video that i waiting for !!!
Wow, you make it look so easy!
How long will it take for Apple to block android chargers by software update?
They won’t block em, but maybe increase mfi restrictions
Android manufacturers themselves have proprietary charging tech that require specific charger and cables, so it's nothing new.
Hope no, i’m charging my iphone 11 pro with a samsung charger 😂😂
@@pijesz USB PD is not proprietary.
@@kornaros96 Are you saying a Samsung or Pixel phone can fast charge using Oppo Supervooc, Huawei Supercharge and Xiaomi Hypercharge?
Yeah that's a dealbreaker for me. No phone should be restricted on a repair basis.
Crazy they make it so hard to repair.
Recently the USB-C Port on my 4 year old Xiaomi 9T Pro broke, but the repair was so easy that I was able to do it myself even though I had never done anything like this before and now it fully works again.
Port assembly replaced? I was considering replacing mine but didnt want to waste 20 dollars on entire assebly since it still works, just isnt nice when you plug it in
@@Boz1211111 Yeah I had to replace it because it didn't work anymore. So I actually replaced the hole board on which the USB-C Port is located, which also included the Sim Card Tray, but the new board looked and fitted exactly like the old one and it wasn't even that expensive I paid around 14€ on Ebay for it.
The hardest part of the hole process was actually to get off the backglass cover, but with a bit of heat and a few TH-cam Tutorials you should be able to do it.
@@Alex-yt8gn thank you
I think your work is extraordinary
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this!
When i saw that apple was all of a sudden “supporting” right to repair, I was immediately suspicious of what they plan to do from that. Im sure as hell not expecting anything that’ll bring any kind of genuine good.
Exactly...leave it to Apple (though they're not the first) to make replacing the USB port as difficult as possible by requiring near-full disassembly AND the port is soldered onto the daughter board!!
Tim Cock Likes Men @@terrancecloverfield6791
The law allows software locks, so to those who don't look as hard as they should, it looks good, while changing nothing.
@@joebot86 yup. The point of self-repair is to reduce costs of ownership through free market principles. The idea of software locks completely negates that.
Hey Hugh, about the backglass, I've seen that the camera flash is also paired and bugs appear when you swap them, I hope it's not true but nothing surprises me anymore (I've seen this on iPhone 14)
Thanks for this.
Part of jobs ingenuousness was his passion to details. Even on the inside where consumers would never see it. To hear that they remove logos is indicative of change for the worse
I wasnt hyped for apple revealing the iphone 15 lineup. I was more hyped on Hugh taking it apart and simulating a repair to see if Apple really did become more repairable with their devices. Next year will be an interesting year because the state i reside in has forced all big tech companies (minus farming equipment stuff) to provide manuals, software and spare parts to repair their products. I am curious to see how they will respond to this should Apple want to continue to sell stuff in the state of Minnesota.
Amazing videos as always!
I realize they are not as popular devices, but it would be awesome if you could do a repair assessment of the new Sony Xperia phones as well. Thank you for doing these videos!
Thank you 😊
When Apple support the policy, you know there is something wrong with the policy from a consumer perspective.
waiting for so long finally u posted❤
Nice work👍🏽 Watching your teardown, tried to see why the rear panel shattered during JerryRigEverything's bend test, without really bending it. Nothing obvious, though🤔 That usually never happens, but this year it's a lot more fragile. I wonder if that flexcable from the rear panel caused any of those error messages. Thanks again for some great teardown work🤙🏽🖖🏽
The circular MagSafe opening on the 15 pro max has a relatively wide surface area which, on a replaceable back glass, is 'too much surface area' for such an opening at the center, where pressure was applied.
The 15 pro doesn't suffer from the same issue, mainly due to it being a smaller device with dimensions that perfectly complement its structural integrity.
Are the rear Glas and USB-C port interchangeable or do you get some type of error message and a function or two less?
it may not have a proprietary charge port but it will probably have a software detection of the charge cable that may still only allow fast charging if you use their cable.
IINM, the EU's USB-C mandate also has a clause that prohibits this too.
I have a 15 Pro and I've been charging it with a non-Apple cable and charger. The cable has a power readout on it, and I'm able to get full 20W charging.
@@kylemsguy_ give it time apple will eventually tweak something in software to slow it down or it may be a "devil leaves the kid alone effect" just to get the eu off their back and either there will be a chip in the charger brick or it will communicate with the computer and some binary blob running on the computer.
Great video as always. Hugh. Even with these improvements to the iPhone's internal design, I'm glad I got out of this space when I did. I cannot imagine seeing so many serialized components being used for the work I do now as a copier service technician as it would cause headaches for not just us, but our customers as well.
Thank you! Thumb up for you!
1:33 - nice one, Hugh!
iPhone 16:
Unable to verify that this iPhone has genuine Apple screws
iPhone 17 every year: Unable to continue without making your cpu 2x slower.
Great video, Hugh. I didn’t realize you were self-taught. That’s very impressive! I’ve learned so much from you.
On another note. I truly wonder if Apple was ever going to bring USB-C to the iPhone. Were they just taking their time or did the EU cause them to finally bend? I ask because if they did it for the iPad, then it should have to come to the iPhone soon after. It just doesn’t make sense to me. Apple can’t be that stubborn and money-hungry… can they?
Yes they definitely can be that money-hungry..
The more important question is can you really be that gullible ?
After years of Apple ripping people off, are you really still unsure ?
I got one question about the heating the display part. What temp (in F) do you set it to and for how long should you warm it
Thank you very much I always like watching your videos and of course you always learn something as you said you are self taught and we all are ,one good question, you TH-camrs a handful like you and others how do you get your iPhone pro 15 Max amazingly how do you get the First do you pay for it do they give it to you how can we can get be the first like you it's amazing what's the secret, thanks keep update your videos I enjoy them very much thanks again😊😊😊
I have to say the internals of the iPhone are a thing of beauty. However, it is clear to see that the engineers made very little effort to ease maintenance. Even as a layperson, one can see the device is heavily over engineered with vast quantities of screws and cables etc. Apple can get away with this I suppose because they can charge a premium for their products. I am sure, an iPhone of the same quality and function could be produced much more simply via a different approach in design. Still, it is a free market and no one forces you to buy an iPhone.
Pretty much my own thoughts. Unfortunately, other manufacturers have been taking notes and we're now seeing parts pairing and complex internals in other phones too.
Great video !
Also, if JerryRigEverything is any indication the back glass on the Max breaks pretty easily if pushed hard where that circle in the frame is. A hollow frame and less glue means that glass that is cheaper to repair is also way easier to break.
Not trying to protect Apple by any means here, but there’s a lot of people who tried to break the back glass and failed. Zack was just flexing on how strong he is…
Can you swap cameras and USB port/Board? I see logic boards cannot be swapped, but what about other parts?
New back glass design is cool and all, but as it comes with the microphone pre-installed, unless you use a genuine Apple part or transfer the flex cable, audio quality in videos might be affected.
Well said, when someone or something can't or simply won't fix harmful issues by themselves in a reasonable manner and time frame, then someone else needs to force and do it for them
One of the ways why legislation and regulations are required when companies and "the free market" themselves fails everyone
it is worth now, now also flash and wireless coil is paired to the phone, making replacing back glass even harder
Thanks!
It would be interesting to see how will they work with new EU law that said that every battery will be replaceable.
the battery can be replaced just apple has done what they do best and made it so you dont get any data associated with the battery like charge cycles
@@johnsellers4994no, batteriets has to be replaceable without any special tools, but its not in effect yet.
@@johnsellers4994 relevant paper is 2020/0353 (COD), and if I'm reading it correctly, no specialised tools, heat, or solvents should be used to replace battery by end-user.
This means that heating the screen, pentolobe screws, and "only by trained technician" warning will have to go.
Additionally, there is mention of software reset being available, which would mean that while Apple still can say "this is not paired batter" all functions might still need to work
I felt clickbaited by this video, what exactly was going to “harm the environment” with this phone??
The fact that you can’t repair the phone yourself in order to not have to buy another one. Since most people aren’t tech savvy, stuff like this only encourages people to just buy another smartphone, which will only use up more resources and create more e-waste.
I hate how I’m so deep into the ecosystem that if I wanted to switch now my experience would suck 😓
Keep your Apple devices for photos and videos, but get yourself an android to have on the side (if you got the money for it of course.) That’s what I did, and except for pictures and videos, I’ll never go back to iPhones as my main device again
I was expecting a message warning you of a non-genuine screw when you used a replacement for the one you lost on the reassembly process
