Don’t let anyone ever tell you Apple is committed to protecting the environment.

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.

i find it neat how the SteamDeck goes against the industry norm and is fully user serviceable with Valve posting a video on how to take it apart along with tips and recommendations to prevent accidental damage to the device

As a former repair tech at a MacBook repair depot (a official apple one), I think it’s funny how apple makes all of their packaging on the consumer facing side “eco friendly”, 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.

It is VERY hard to believe that Apple suddenly supports right to repair. Either they are outright lying, they are going to make a very half-assed, surface level attempt, or they have a loophole that they can use to get around it.

This is really in the DNA of the company, not just the last 2 decades. Ever since Steve Jobs made it hard to open the Macintosh in 1985 Apple products have been openly anti consumer

As an Android phone user, I find this absolutely amazing. Apple really does own your phone, you're just carrying it around for them.

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.

It's surprising that such an openly anti-consumer company has been so popular for so long

You should always be skeptical when a company backs a bill that, on its face, seems to hurt them financially or takes control away from them when they've fought so hard to maintain it.

I could not imagine this level of anti-consumer measures being taken anywhere else. Imagine if you had to ship your car back to japan or germany or california or something just to have your radio replaced!

The lengths that Apple go through to prevent customers repairing their devices is astonishing. So much for their environmental credentials

This video should be renamed to "Apple's acts of terrorism in hardware and software." I knew they done this stuff but I never knew it was this much.

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 wouldn’t 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.

As someone who never used an Apple product with no possibility of doing so in the future, the only problem with Apple's Anti-Consumer policies is other companies follow suit and implement the same despicable tactics in their devices as well.

Watching this after recently replacing my Dell laptop battery by myself without needing tools hits different. 😂
