But yea, Nature handles some of the CO2, it does make the plants grow more effectively. Still, California Wildfires, all of that shit is not worth it. Basically our Carbon emissions are making hurricanes more intense and the hot summers combined with forest mismanagement because turns out trees need fire and so decades of fire suppression later, and The Carbon is going to burn a huge amount of those forest and it's tragic.

[@lukeh990]

@@flo0778 There is a fact about Apple that you may be aware of, Apple’s design team is more powerful than most other departments. Meaning that Apple designs a product then the engineers make it work. Sometimes at the expense of practicality. This means that as long as the designers think glass looks better the engineers have to make it work. But that doesn’t necessarily rule out a higher authority in the company mandating the use of glass. Remember when Apple tried to make that charging mat with 20 charging coils? It was made by designers then engineers had to try and make it work, which ended up backfiring.

At a previous job we worked with titanium, steel and stainless for highly stressed machine parts. Unless we were told to use titanium for a part we avoided TI like the plague. High strenth steel and stainless steel was stronger, harder and has a higher fatigue life, the weight savings from TI was seldom worth the difficulty and risk of using it. Titanium is hard to machine, hard to weld, takes forever to procure. An object like a phone needs high hardness for scratch resistance and weight is a non-issue as people like extra weight in their electronics. If I were designing a phone I would make it out of a heat treatable stainless alloy and heat treat or (if possible) case harden it.

[@therealchayd]

"Yeah....but....Titanium!!!!"

[@yamatsukami987]

the main issue with titanium is generally cost (minor for a phone) but more so the specialized tools needed to machine it make it cost up to 30x as much to process. They way i have seen it described is that while most metals come off in relatively clean shavings, titanium will friction weld to the bit causing it to "gum up" the tools used to machine it which must be specialized and are consumed much quicker. it also has issues with being relatively flexable and transfers heat at 1/4 the rate of steel and 1/10 the rate of aluminum which adds to the difficulty in machining it. I still agree its the superior choice for a small and premium item you want to keep for more than 4-5 years but that has long conflicted with their business model and the benefits, while real, are minor when you account for the heightened rigidity of aluminum due to the larger cross section, so it truly is the premium metal.

Im sure you wont see this, because theres a ton of comments. But ill say this in case you somehow do. Anodizing titanium isn't too hard. If you heat anodize. You just slowly heat until you get the color you want and quickly cool in water to avoid going hotter. If you have a power supply and solution you can electrically anodize without too much trouble also, but it does have some bigger barriers, being the two items i listed

[@sunlimestudios]

I think Apple’s claims of carbon reduction are on the production side. In the case of leather, it takes A TON of water to produce, but is biodegradable. With their recycled bands, it may be far less resource intensive of the production side while not being biodegradable at all. So they could still say their products are 100% carbon neutral when they’re using 100% recycled plastic. Still shipping plastic, but it’s recycled…

[@johnthomas2970]

I’d rather something with a lower emissions profile than being biodegradable tbh. Most people seem to forget that when advocating for compostable takeaway utensils/cups over plastic. Sure, the ones that end up in the ocean will biodegrade, but the vast majority that end up in landfill will emit methane due to being made of organic matter, which will give them a higher emissions profile. Biodegradable only works when you have a decent composting system in place to avoid anaerobic decomposition

[@Aikano9]

Leather is objectively better from environmental standpoint, the cow dies either way for its meat, so the only difference is wether the leather goes straight to the landfill or gets used in clothing, furniture, and accessories

[@Sondalyn]

The leather is actually not biodegradable nor recycleable if it's treated with chromium salt, which it most likely is because it only takes one day to do so. The alternative, vegetable tanning, takes months but is then biodegradable.. so we know for sure that Apple isn't using that method (90% of leather is chromium-salt-treated). So, this is definitely an improvement. Of course, do your own research on the subject rather than take my word for it.

I hope you're joking: Android phones beat iPhones in every single category depending on if you're looking for features, performance, camera, software, or any else I can't think of right now. And of course, all the things that come with an open source OS, so being able to have root access, much better compatibility with whatever you want (like an Android phone able to flawlessly connect and work on a Macbook but somehow, an iPhone can't do the same on Windows or Linux), custom ROMs, having modded apk for popular apps (like Twitter, KZbin, Instagram, etc...) which enhance the experience while being less heavy on your phone's resources. There are too much advantages of having an Android phone over an iPhone. The don't even have the software anymore because of phones like the Nothing Phone 2 which are greatly optimized and are still much cheaper than any iPhone ever was. The only advantage of the iPhone now is that it work well within the Apple ecosystem and you can brag in society that you possess an expensive phone, showing you can afford it.

Let’s not forget the iPhone 4S has a user swappable glass back. I remember getting customer back screens for kids at school

[@nullKass]

If glass remains fragile, the end result is either shattered glass covered by titanium alloy or the titanium concealed within silicone phone case. So, what's the point of titanium alloy frames? While phones can be repaired, they can still be rendered obsolete through software limitations, such as CPU throttling and restricting iOS updates. Sometimes, when using recommended parameters with Xcode, it automatically sets the app's target OS to a version higher than necessary, making it impossible for older devices to update the app without updating iOS, but iOS updates can be restricted if Apple wants your device to be obsolete. If this happens, you still get notification for updates but you can't do anything other than buying a new device, this design naturally makes the notifications ads. The app's OS version targeting appears as if it's the choice of third-party developers, but how easily it is set with the small fonts notification in Xcode is design by Apple.

[@AtrociousAK47]

the back glass being replaceable without the use of a specialized laser machine to burn the glue off was thing the 14 introduced, however only for the base 14 and plus models, both pro models remained exactly the same as previous models in that regard. the back glass on 14 is held in with some glue and the two security pins like the screen, which is even thinner than the 13 models, and this back panel must be removed in order to disconnect the battery and access all other internal components. of course apple being apple, a new positive change has to come with a new negative change, namely that now the wireless charger and camera flash flex cable are attached to said back glass, and from what I understand are of course serialized like the screens, batteries, and face id flex cable, why exactly a camera flash and wireless charger needs to be serialized, who knows, ask the hipster geniues at apple that will either claim it's for "safety and security" or that it's a calibration issue, yet still say you cant have access to said calibration software (pixle phones also require calibration on the screens or the fingerprint scanner wont work, but unlike apple, google makes the calibration tools available along with a guide, so it's doable but complicated). From what I've heard, replacing this camera flash cable will remove the ability to take pictures with the flash, as photos will not save, no error popup this time tho. also trying to install the back glass without either transferring the old one or installing a new one with the part already installed will leave a hole in the back for dust a moisture to ingress from, and result in the phone abruptly rebooting itself after about 5 minutes, since the phone runs periodic checks on various sensor components and if these checks fail the phone will shut off as a security feature. say what you will about samsung devices and their rather lackluster software features, but their phones dont do any of this serialization nonesense that apple and google devices do, nor do they employ the tricks that apple does like flip flopping with the types of screws needed or gluing things like cables in place so that if you don't know to work around it you end up damaging something and have to explain to an upset customer why they wont have certain features anymore and pray they dont demand you replace the entire device for free. I'm convinced that a trained monkey can repair a samsung phone without damaging anything, atleast so long as it's not just the lcd without frame, since those are fragile and kind of a pain to remove from the frame. really curious to see how apple gonna implement removable batteries on the iphone 17 or 18, now that the EU has mandated that all manufactures implement that as a standard feature by 2027, im sure they will find a way to fuck it up just so they can be different than everybody else, in true hipster fashion.

Self proclaimed Apple fan here and Linux enthusiast. I just want to ask what do people have against a locked down operating system? I use Linux because windows just wasn’t cutting it for me. Most users don’t care. I’ve never needed any side loading or custom ROMs at any point in my long time using iPhone.

[@rigierish3807]

Well I would like to return you the question: why don't you have something against locked down operating system? I can't believe you use Linux instead of Windows for such vague reasons and still don't understand what are the advantages of using an open source operating system after all these years. The main reason for using Linux over Windows is that it's not proprietary, meaning it doesn't belong to any company, and more than that, it's open source. From that, a lot of things emerge and I don't want to give you all the advantages of having an open source system because that would be too long to list; go on the internet, there are a lot of people who made articles and videos about it, but the main reason is that you can do whatever you want on your system, and you're not limited by the company who owns the operating system you're using. Another reason is that you just can't be trapped in any way by the company who maintains the OS and you can choose what you want or don't want. It's not a coincidence that Linux have hundreds of distributions but Windows and MacOS only have one : when you're using their OS and update to the next version, you will have no other choice but to accept all the things they added or removed compare to the previous version, which is why a lot of people got annoyed when Microsoft released Windows 11 (so you can clearly see that most user will have to care eventually if they run a proprietary OS or an open source one for reasons like that). So basically, it's either you deal with it or you use another OS. You don't have this problem on Linux. That's why when I installed Ubuntu on some of my relative's laptop, because Ubuntu is preinstalled with a lot of crap and force the use of snap, which I personally think is the worst, you know what I did? I just removed them, including the main browser and installed the programs to replace it. Just like that. Imagine for a second removing the main browser on Windows (Edge) or Mac (Safari). Well you don't need to imagine it, it's impossible. Of course there are so much more reasons but everything comes down to the fact nothing can be imposed on the user by any company and you're free to do whatever you want on your system due to its open source nature. Well it's the exact same thing for iOS vs Android. Enough people have demonstrated and proved in the past how dependent iPhone users are to Apple, by getting basic features Android had for years, while on Android, people don't have to wait for Google or the company from which they bought their phone to implement a feature, they'll do it themselves with custom ROMs. By the way, maybe you didn't know that but most of the software features we have on Android phones as well as iPhones come from custom ROMs, Apple and Google as well as all the companies working on their own Android custom ROMs only took care of copying them. So you can thank the open source community for that because I doubt we would have that much features if it wasn't for the custom ROMs. The same way, Android is objectively a far better option than iOS because due to its open source nature, any enterprise can make an Android phone, so you can choose your phone according to your needs and not what this or that enterprise thinks you need. That's why you only have one phone using iOS: iPhones, while you have maybe hundreds of phone types which use Android as their OS. You also can have Android at virtually any price range, from $50-100 to $2500. For iPhones, you're stuck in the $800 to $1500 price range if you want a recent enough phone. And whether most users care or not as you mentioned, is not the point: everyone will pay the consequences of using a proprietary/locked down OS at some point by not being able to do what they want on their device, by having to pay an absurd price for something basic or by having something imposed on them they don't want, as I've shown you for Windows 11. On an open OS, you don't have to deal with this. So maybe you're the very average user who never needed to do something outside of the borders Apple imposed on you, but the day you will, you won't be very happy and you will maybe switch to Android and experience what it means to truly own your system, by being able to choose what you want to have on it or not and how you use it.

About the repairability aspect. What they mostly mean is this. Previously, glass backed iPhones attached the back glass with some serious adhesive. It’s like military strength. So strong, that it’s very, very difficult to separate with heat. People have even gone backwards and froze the adhesive, or replace the entire housing. China, however, had our backs, and created a laser machine that burns the adhesive. However, on the standard iPhone 14, they changed that, by using a different adhesive that’s still super strong at room temperature, but doesn’t need super high temperatures to soften it, making it far easier to remove. This year, they seem to be expanding that to all new models. But, there’s another thing iPhones did to sabotage 3rd party repair. The phone was programmed to be able to detect when certain parts are replaced, and if it detects it, it will throw warning messages and even artificially disable certain functionality. For example, replacement screens will brick True Tone, and it supposedly also disables auto brightness, but in my experience, I’ve found that not to be the case, at least on the iPhone 8. Anyways, other parts like this include the battery and cameras. A replacement battery will disable the health reading, a replacement frond camera will brick Face ID, portrait mode, and cinematic mode on the front camera only. A replacement rear camera will only throw a warning message now. If you want to check out how this works, then watch Hugh Jeffreys. He’s done several videos discussing this practice. Apple claims that they have backed a right to repair bill in California, but I’m very skeptical about that. But hopefully, they at least lax off the limitations on repaired iPhones a bit. Well, we’ll just have to wait for Hugh to get ahold of the iPhone 15 for him to do his work. Anyways, thought this was important to know.
