Screws are always welcome in a device. Lots of screws is always the better solution. Clips break, especially has the plastic ages with thermal cycles , glue is shit obviously. And if you want any form of rigidity, you need multiple layers of material that are fastened together, Ideally using screws. Device that cares about the submillimeter alignment of all of its relative sensors, displays, etc. sort of needs to use a lot of screws or a lot of unremovable glue.
@isaev281 Using the same screw everywhere means your making the device a good bit larger (or giving up on streth were yo need it). How often are you opening this deice? im not sure having multiple types of screws is such a big issue. infact if they could find a way to secure the front display with screws (even if that was adding another type of them) rather than thermal devolving glue I would be happy.
I kinda saw that coming. Apple seems so forget that we paid for the device. They have trouble letting go so make a problem that they know about. They release the product, and then want to continuously update to fix the problem they already knew about.
You’re sort of forgetting what calibration is.

Isnt it illigal to make a device anti 3rd-party repair? Like i heard somewhere apple got sued and was forced to make parts available and be able to be repaired by 3rd party vendors cuz what apple was doing was seen as extremly preditory and anti consumer by forcing people to go through them to repair their devices and have the repair price be extremely high and sometimes more then the cost of the device brand new and apple was even forced to stop coding their devices to purposfully slow down and become obsolete and basically forcing people to pay tons of money for newer up-to-date devices which is also illigal and preditory.

You aware the tap you removed over a screw is an EMI shield. Metal screws can become mini antennas to pass EM certification little shields like this are added to many devices
Mad respect to this dude! Assembling, disassembling, and then re-assembling all of those fussy little components just to show us how repairable this piece of tech is.
For what it’s worth, Serializing the FaceID and any other biometrics modules does actually make sense. The face data is stored within the chip and is never actually readable by the device, so if the chip weren’t serialized, you could get into somebody else’s iPhone by swapping out the FaceID module. Naturally, that also means you have to serialize the drive (because otherwise you could swap out the drive), so, that too makes sense. The non-authentication/storage modules being serialized is still BS, tho.
It should let you wipe the data and start over in that case. So it's not a real excuse, but Apple uses it as justification when the real purpose is blocking the customer's right to repair. I mean, you run into this exact same scenario with PCs, and when you've changed a part that affects security, it gives you the option to wipe data and start over. Apple's excuse doesn't fly.
@@SargonDragon Fair enough, but I would argue that going with, “this is a bit sketch, want to wipe your data to continue?” is pretty antithetical to Apple’s overall design tendencies. I’m not saying that it’s the best solution, but it is remarkably hard to fuck up an Apple device and lose your data. If that means that they wind up serializing the storage and security modules, I’m not going to complain. Then again, I’m the one that gets called when a tech problem happens in my family, so I value some of these things significantly more than average (yes, I realize that serialization won’t protect my relatives because they would never pop their phone apart - it’s the overall pattern that I like). It’s also why I still called the rest of the serialization BS - serializing things like the camera is exclusively anti-repair.
So your telling me the iPhone equivalent to this means replacing the front glass bricks the phone? Thats genuinely disgusting. I really hope the EU calls Apple out on this.
it's not because they're "calibrated together to make passthrough perfect" it's because they want you to buy a new one they are all the exact same parts nothing about it is perfect either
Disassembly and assembly back my son toy’s one time, and its already a nightmare for me (with few extra screws). 😂 And you do this over and over again with tons of screws from Apple. Respect!!! 🤩😄
Really impressive work on this one. Your second headset might be the only one in the world to be independently dissembled and reassembled with zero damage
With Apple being Apple, I definitely expected more stuff to be serialized. But I didn't expect the serialized stuff to completly brick the headset. I'm wondering how long it will take someone to find a loophole that allows for 3rd party repairs

Guys and gals i have a revolutionary idea to fix all these issues, dont buy apple 💀
So much work man
Trash
For what it’s worth, Serializing the FaceID and any other biometrics modules does actually make sense.
The face data is stored within the chip and is never actually readable by the device, so if the chip weren’t serialized, you could get into somebody else’s iPhone by swapping out the FaceID module.
Naturally, that also means you have to serialize the drive (because otherwise you could swap out the drive), so, that too makes sense.
The non-authentication/storage modules being serialized is still BS, tho.
It should let you wipe the data and start over in that case. So it's not a real excuse, but Apple uses it as justification when the real purpose is blocking the customer's right to repair.
I mean, you run into this exact same scenario with PCs, and when you've changed a part that affects security, it gives you the option to wipe data and start over. Apple's excuse doesn't fly.
@@SargonDragon Fair enough, but I would argue that going with, “this is a bit sketch, want to wipe your data to continue?” is pretty antithetical to Apple’s overall design tendencies.
I’m not saying that it’s the best solution, but it is remarkably hard to fuck up an Apple device and lose your data. If that means that they wind up serializing the storage and security modules, I’m not going to complain. Then again, I’m the one that gets called when a tech problem happens in my family, so I value some of these things significantly more than average (yes, I realize that serialization won’t protect my relatives because they would never pop their phone apart - it’s the overall pattern that I like). It’s also why I still called the rest of the serialization BS - serializing things like the camera is exclusively anti-repair.
Is Apple evil enough to make a $3400 device nearly unrepeatable?
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Its Apple, so yes.
not gonna lie actually the greatest tech repair shop and the greatest technician that ever existed ... keep going you're a legend 💖💖
You videos are awesome

Bro really added a "deez nuts" joke and thought we wouldn't notice
Imagine if we actually had a mixed reality headset that was repairable and upgradable
So your telling me the iPhone equivalent to this means replacing the front glass bricks the phone? Thats genuinely disgusting. I really hope the EU calls Apple out on this.
We'll wait in 2027 where Removable Battery SHOULD a Mandatory thing
You don't need vpn you need to set up usa region on you account to have shop and everything...
The soft power drill sound effects are so freaking funny
0:54 you have made my day with the smallest amount of editing
Apple probably spends more on the anti-repair stuff than the actual hardware.
5:54 deez nuts😂😂
it's not because they're "calibrated together to make passthrough perfect"
it's because they want you to buy a new one
they are all the exact same parts
nothing about it is perfect either

Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head
this is legit phenomenal work
uuuuuuuh i saw your serial number for the apple vision pro and when i went to check it was actually there i found it
0:17 where do you find this?
Babe wake up , Apple Vision Pro repairability test is out 🔥🔥🔥
For replacing battery make sure to take the little chip into the new one😊
3:27 - that’s a genius way to store the screws
Disassembly and assembly back my son toy’s one time,
and its already a nightmare for me (with few extra screws). 😂
And you do this over and over again with tons of screws from Apple.
Respect!!! 🤩😄
He said “these nuts” 🤣🤣🤣
Really impressive work on this one. Your second headset might be the only one in the world to be independently dissembled and reassembled with zero damage
Thank you for this vid
Thank you for such a comprehensive tear down video
5:33 important tidbit right here
Thanks for taking the incredible amount of time and dedication to make this video. It was both interesting and informative. Subscribed.
With Apple being Apple, I definitely expected more stuff to be serialized. But I didn't expect the serialized stuff to completly brick the headset. I'm wondering how long it will take someone to find a loophole that allows for 3rd party repairs
The loophole better be "Class action lawsuit, billions awarded" cause apple and its ilk need to learn this isn't ok and wont fly.
Just curious did you have Apple ID logged in or find my app on before you did the swap?
