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.

      openly

      you sure about that? It only affects consumers who want to repair it themselves

        Not only those who want to repair it themselves, but those who want to have it repaired by a third party whose best interest is not claiming that the phone is irreparable and that the customer should buy a new one.

          Yeah, not to mention Apple’s high repair premiums. It’s still not very visible to consumers when they get and use an Apple product though.
