Apple has refused to provide the calibration tool for the sleep sensor to independent repair people. A German repairman has beaten Apple and developed a calibration tool.

    I can’t believe a company that’s been this shitty to its customers, openly, for literal decades is still in business.

    Thanks for reminding me to never, ever buy Apple.

      A lot of people who buy apple stuff just plain don’t care. If you break it, you immediately buy a new one. But even if you don’t, you’ll get a new one when you can. For a lot of people it’s also a status symbol, where a lot of ego is involved. You still see this every time camera discussions come up, where sometimes you’ll see a 15 Pro compared to an HTC Hero for shot quality.

      This should never be a problem, but we live in a dystopia

      Most people aren’t repairing their iPhones and most people will just carry the damaged iPhone before repairing and buying another because of money but also, it is an iPhone.

      It’s only being shitty to your customers if your customers weren’t so willing to just keep buying them when they can.

    Just don’t buy that crap. I’m perfectly satisfied with a rooted chinesium Android machine for a third of the money. It’s actually better in many regards than my cousin’s iphone14. Hardware wise. And oh, you can change parts rather easily. These are so easy to root, I don’t know why not everybody does it. Or give it to someone you know / in the family to do it. Had a Huawei before this for 6 years, changed the battery and the screen. Still kinda love my old brick.

      Any recommendations on those chinesium devices? My Pixel 4a is getting a little long in the tooth and I’m in the market for a new Android phone with a vanilla Android experience.
