​@@LightModeContradiction Yes, he can criticize Apple or any other company. He doesn’t do that because not doing it makes him money. That’s not a job of a journalist. That’s a job of a marketing or PR person. Journalism is saying what someone else does not want to be said. Everything else is public relations. Influencers don’t want to be called journalists because it takes the responsibility of them. Gives them justification for doing what companies pay them to do (directly or indirectly). It makes them money, it gives companies a easy way to control the message and their image but it’s just PR. It’s not professional journalism or even good critique. With big power comes big responsibility… as cheese as it sounds - it’s true. He is one of the biggest tech KZbinrs in the world. An expert in his field. A millionaire. He knows what he’s doing and he knows that Apple is using him to greenwash their image. He can afford to be better. We should expect or even demand him to.

[@MsDexter47]

If Apple made cars, if you got a puncture, you'd have to replace it. - remove the glued fender - use a special key to unscrew the rim - for this you would have to replace half of the suspension - and finally, after collecting everything, it would turn out that not everything works as it should, because the replaced parts are not from this specific car, but were taken from another one intended for parts

[@0815dude]

Also, you have to swap the entire transmission and axle because apple won't just sell the tire on its own

How does using proprietary screws and software locking replacement parts make the phone more durable?

[@lloydmwinga5628]

My question exactly. They don't have to use proprietary screws and they don't have to software lock individual parts to it's phone. And the phone will still be durable and repairable🤔🤨😒

[@JanGoh-jb5ge]

I'm pretty sure 'proprietary' screws are just to dissuade the casual idiot tinkering with crap from disassembling their phone at home and making a hash of it and bringing it back to Apple to complain that their phone doesn't work. But it's trivial to buy a pentalobe screwdriver now. If Apple were seriously concerned with people opening their phones, they'd be coming up with wild and wacky new designs every year. Only mild argument with the software locking. I think it makes sense to do it to make sure you're not getting parts that will carry malware or whatever (it takes almost no space to do that, which is why you're asked if you trust the cable being plugged into your phone), but they don't provide any good way to get replacement parts at a reasonable price, or re-use old parts from verified old Apple devices, which is BS. They should make that whole pipeline easier.

[@TheRealTrididos]

A proprietary physical asset, such as a screw or an adhesive, can be designed to reduce weight, provide strength in specific areas of the unit (the screw), and create a specific balance. A very low-profile head that can withstand a certain torque rating and has a specific break force at the shank or threading, may require a certain type of drive (flat/Philips, etc.) designed to withstand both the drive force during assembly and and the combination of forces during use, such as strike and vibration, and withstand other factors such as temperature ratings, galvanization resistance, electrical resistance, and so forth. So, in some applications, a custom design can lead to certain goals, and at Apple and other tech companies, a few goals can be better met with custom designs, such as material savings and weight savings.

[@esh92]

@@lloydmwinga5628 exactly. the durability vs repairability being "on a sliding scale" is completely wrong. i own a 10 year old Lenovo laptop that still runs like day 1 after being dropped multiple times and i can take it all apart in 15 minutes. Marques is way off point here.

[@rodmunch69]

If you can easily get a screw driver for it, how 'proprietary' is it? Also, when dealing with super small parts, the old Phillips head is not the best solution as it strips pretty easily. Also, as stated by someone else, a lot of easy to clear hurtles are to keep simpletons from breaking their phones - like some dope that wants to take a panel off to see what is inside without realizing they're just destroyed the water seal. Having a tiny hurtle to clear, keeps out the vast majority of people who have no idea what they're doing.

The whole repairability vs. durability thing is fine and dandy, but it’s kind of a cop-out argument by Apple.

[@treechenho]

I get kinda triggered when I hear about serialized parts. I remember my iPhone 8’s taptic vibration motor need replaced one time, so I ordered a new one and did just that only to find out that it didn’t work because the vibration motor is serialized to each iPhone, starting with iPhone 8 (iPhone 7 did not require serialization and uses the same taptic engine, so I thought I was in the clear) I will say that I am at least responsible for having a moderator on ifixit point out that you’d need a separate, expensive machine to copy over the old vibration motor’s information to the new one, and only repair shops really have access to that sort of thing. I would have rather them put that at the top of the page in case a DIYer like me will know right off the bat whether something like that is even worth doing, but it is what it is.

[@zero131056]

An argument can be made here: Is it possible that Apple is deliberately making it hard to repair their phone so that people go to Apple to repair them, because as we just saw; It's such a "technical'" aspect of building a phone from scratch in such a way so as to make it durable, that to allow lower skilled, off-the-street repairmen to replace internal parts may lower the overall experience and potentially lifespan of the device? Think of it in this context - If you're wealthy, and you buy a Ferrari. When it needs to be serviced or repaired, wouldn't you rather send it into the official Ferrari garage rather than some random mom-and-pop shop? The mechanics at Ferrari have been specifically trained and have years of experience in Ferrari motors and gear boxes, so they know what they're doing. I'm also not saying that Ferrari wouldn't 'scam' you by overcharging because I'm not talking from a financial point of view, I'm talking from a technical one.

Also Rossman complained about various technical issues like the CPU pin being next to a high-voltage pin, crappy hinges on the macbook, etc which Apple doesn't care about (or are deliberately ignoring for planned obsolescence).

For products generally, sure. For phones, no. They are conditionally and variably opposed. Water resistance and repairability are definitely opposed (though not completely; low manufacturing tolerance, for example, improves water resistance without hurting repairability).

His argument doesn't hold up in the sense that there are things that wear down by getting used, no matter how much "durable" you make it, so sacrificing repairability is always a bad deal. You will never have a device that's so reliable it will never need any service. That's a falacy. And it's been more than proven that Apple doesn't hinder repairability because of quality standards or W/E bullshit, but because they want to keep control of their own devices. If your lid angle sensor on your macbook breaks or becomes uncalibrated, they don't want you to go to a technician that knows how to repair it.

It's not about black market though. They can do parts pairing of their own devices in a manner that tracks stolen phones. They already can and do do that. They just need to not break your existing parts when an unknown part is added.

@@thekwoka4707ok so what would happen, someone steals your iphone, sells your parts, and innocent old woman gets their iphone repaired with the stolen parts and now her phone can be tracked… dont get the benefit … As an apple user i line how it‘s currently is, I never get my phone broken and people have no reason to steal it 👏🏼 best scenario

I think you were sold a bill of goods with the repair ability and durability. The fact that Apple had proprietary screws so you couldn’t even open the device didn’t make it more durable, it made it impossible to repair

[@ea_pius]

Mkbhd is an Apple fanboy. He'll take anything they say to him.

[@axn2021]

Main issue with Apple is not the repairability itself (many 3rd party repairs can do a better repair job than Apple themselves). The biggest issue is Apple not willing to let their parts makers sell the genuine parts to 3rd party repairers, and Apple unwillingness to provide schematics.

MKBHD doesn't have guts to counter question Apple. He can only take down smaller companies and get ego boost.

[@4amSunset]

Of course he doesn't, he wouldn't be talking to the CEO if he had. It's a privileged position he's got himself into, one 99% of techtubers would kill for.

I like how the water ingress testing equipment requires distilled water. It's the impurities in water that makes it corrosive or leave residue that cause shorts, so testing with distilled water wouldn't cause problems with circuits. It doesn't even conduct.

[@darshitdarji3217]

Exactly!

[@linussorensen00]

due to all water from different sources being different it would be hard for them to test it. and its a rating not a gurantee. Water resistant not waterproof. it is fine imo

[@abbofun9022]

The test is ‘Does water get in?’ Not if it stains

[@cheezygreeny]

They're testing one variable, water ingress. They're not testing whether or not components inside will break AFTER the water ingresses. How conductive the water is is irrelevant to this test.

[@colin-nekritz]

They should have a bathroom where the engineers pee on the phones, another where they pour beer on them, etc.
