Pluralistic: Apple fucked us on right to repair (again) (pluralistic.net)

Right to repair has no cannier, more dedicated adversary than Apple, a company whose most innovative work is dreaming up new ways to sneakily sabotage electronics repair while claiming to be a caring environmental steward, a lie that covers up the mountains of e-waste that Apple dooms our descendants to wade through.

Uhh… I’ve been repairing phones for 5 years and almost everything in this article is grossly over exaggerated.

Screens and batteries purchased via their self repair program are self sealing. Meaning all I have to do to finish the repair, run diagnostic mode and it’s done.

You are not required to use their tools.

While some older phones are shredded, we have been acquiring newer iPhones (11 and up) from their trade in partner(Phobio).
