    I can’t wait until they start locking parts to devices, and we are forced to buy the part directly from Apple at the same price it would have been to have it repaired at the Apple Store.

    HA! I remember the original Mac used the then unfamiliar (to the public) torx nuts, and thus Apple sold a proprietary toolkit. For like 5 minutes – then everybody found out, and got their tools for cheap.

  3. Yeah and who’s going to have the basic knowledge to be able to handle any of this without stripping stuff out? Give me a break this is their vibe to try to lean into the right to repair movement yet still not allow anybody to repair anything that really matters.

    Also Apple. Buy the toolkit. Repair your phone. However, we iRefuse to repair your phone at any authorized Apple Store.
