Apple knows by its volume of sales that their costs to discourage repairability is well worth their design configuration.

Making Photos Libraries incompatible on different macos to force people to buy icloud to transfer their photos libraries to different macos. 5. Disabling older working versions of applications that use internet, then make newer versions only be compatible with latest versions of macos/ios to force users to update.

all i can say about this device's "repairability" is, it is almost non-existent. I've dabbled with phone repair for friends and family before and with every generation of iPhone, it just gets harder and harder to the point where I say I can't help. Such a shame. My next device is going to be a Fairphone.

It's difficult to make a repairable thin IP68 phone. If you are happy with something that's not waterproof and quite bulky for the performance/battery, that's fine - personally I am in the same camp as you but also I am very invested in the Apple ecosystem. I do wish there was a Fairphone running iOS.

@@archechmeYes but you are also far less likely to be robbed with an iPhone because of the inability to resell or repurpose the device/parts, as well as the risk of being found through Find My.

All of that effort to stop consumers from repairing their own devices that they paid an insanely over-inflated price for is nothing short of asinine, and borders on evil. All of the work you have to go through to do such a repair, and the moment you turn the device back on, it's says "F*** you, pay us"... I honestly do not understand why people would willing buy from a company so publicly devoted to saying "You're an idiot, pay our obscene prices, and f*** off if you try to repair it". Hugh, you made an amazing video. The technical aspects of the video itself are wonderful-lighting, audio, focus, close-ups, background, the whole nine yards. You're a saint for going through all of that and documenting it so well so that others may try to repair their own devices, despite Apple's wishes. I've given it a Like solely because you did so well with it. I owned one Apple device fifteen years ago, and I can say with certainty, as long as Apple's practices continue as they are, I will never own another Apple device in my life.

Apple made ios but kept it to itself (probably in an attempt to have monopoly over the market) so google made android then sold it to everyone and that's where the problem starts, smartphones grew way past apple's expectations which became a problem since apple realised that their initial plan of sort of creating a "premium phone" in a niche market for people sort of like what VR is simply won't work but they realised it too late and are now forced to squeeze every last penny off the user using brand loyalty while also making sure that users don't switch to an android because they know that once that brand loyalty is gone then they aren't coming back. And hence the reason apple have all that "cool kids" things like apple ecosystem, it's not that android phones can't have that or it's just that for people who use android premium means shoving as much power and battery as possible in a phone and it lasting for 10 years, so niche things like an ecosystem comes second (like they will get down to doing that eventually) for apple users premium means that ecosystem and other "cool kids" stuff that other phones don't have while actual hardware like camera and stuff comes 2nd.

Something that I find fascinating about apple is the older apple devices. If you daily drive an older iPhone you will know what I am talking about, every few months the camera quality will degrade and degrade over time. But these cameras dont truly just break over time like this, its all software thats implemented by apple so you think you need a new phone. Not only camera quality will degrade but the overall performance of the phone is just rediculous, I know for a fact that its software based slow-downs because if you bought the old phone new on launch day, the experience was great, extremely responsive and snappy. I never update my phone because I understand that apple does slow your phone down with these updates, but even on stock versions of the phone, the version you got it when you bought it will still see these slow-downs. These corporations cant be allowed to get away with this, these older phones just go straight into a landfill and apple is a big contributor to the contaminations in our oceans, it all comes down to one thing money.

Well, I might not have an iPhone 14 myself (or any iPhone right now for that matter) I can safely say that the complexity is worth the journey, as long as nothing is rushed, and everything else is intact. It really is no wonder why Apple "overprices" the repair/replace procedure, as they make this more complex than it seems
