Comment on Those who are against iOS and Apple in general, have you tried their devices lately?
cjf@feddit.uk 10 months agoActually, it seems Apple are going in the opposite direction.
They redesigned the internals of the iPhone 14 which iFixit really liked and they’ve got their own self service repair program so you can buy legitimate Apple parts, although admittedly you could imagine the EU had a huge influence on this.
It’s taken them a few years to get these up and running, but seems like they’re slowly getting to the right point. Maybe this year the pro/pro max will use the redesigned internals architecture to make those more repairable but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Yeah. But they’re still deliberately designing replacement parts like the screen and fingerprint reader so they can’t be swapped and the whole phone will stop working. And they’re hiding replacement parts to suffocate independent repair shops. And presumably to tell you to buy a new phone for 1000$ instead of the 10$ replacement part.
And while their iPhone might get better. I’ve heard it’s simultaneously getting much worse for their M2 Macbooks.
I’m not convinced by their politics.
