The ABSOLUTE worst thing Apple has done in the past, is to make their phones virtually irrepairable, and have success doing it. That encouraged all other cellphone manufacturers to follow suit. Their actions over the years have contributed to tons and tons of tons of e-waste. They were, and still are despicable.

I had a collection of toy dancing flowers from the late 80s.
They "danced" when you played the music.
What amazed me when I looked at them recently, was they had a hole for you to oil the gear mechanism.
They also had screws so you could replace the motor, if it ever became necessary.
They had enough pride in their work to do this for at $10 toy. But apple won't even do it for a $2000 computer.

As a former repair tech at a MacBook repair depot (a official apple one), I think itâs funny how apple makes all of their packaging on the consumer facing side âeco friendlyâ, but I went through thousands of tiny pieces of plastic every day from the packaging materials in the replacement parts.

The way I heard it for the "right to repair" bill in California is that it provides an exemption for waterproof portable devices, meaning the iPhones won't have to comply at all. That's why Apple can publicly claim support, while privately having undermined the bill to basically exclude themselves from it.

As is often said by other repair youtubers, the importance of denouncing those nasty anti-repair designs goes beyond Apple itself. The abominable riveted keyboards, soldered RAM, and even soldered SSDs now are common in other brands (like Acer, Asus, Lenovo, Samsung) because they saw Apple do this despicable practices and get away with it.

Apple needs to be investigated by the ACCC.
I had a MacBook Air which had a failed USB C/charge port which occurred just after the warranty expired. I was told they would have to replace the entire laptop, at my expense. I told them they were in breach of Australian consumer law but they wouldnât budge.
A repair shop told me only the USB-C port needed replacing.

A few more things I didn't mention in the video:
Lack of a battery or display replacement programme for Apple Watch, iPad or iPod. Broken devices are replaced.
Apple Watch disabling Apple pay after a screen replacement.
Also been told there are paired chips for the Apple Pencil on iPad Pro 3rd Gen displays.

Great review! Apple's new 'Mother Nature' commercial and gas lighting about the company's 'green' initiative is hypocritical to the max. Everything they say they're doing is wildly insufficient when you take into account the millions of Apple devices filling landfills that they refuse to unlock.
