We need to take a page from the EU and force this stuff to happen by law. Expecting for-profit businesses to do anything they’re not legally required to is simply naive.
I live in the EU and I even wish for a bit more aggressiveness regarding laws like this. It’s a very slow moving machine, but I feel like it does have the ability to create change.
It 100% does! The next iPhones will have USB-C in them, and that’s not because Apple thinks it’s time to deprecate Lightning. They love their proprietary USB 2 connection! They were forced to upgrade, and you did that!
iPhone batteries are already pretty easy to replace. I’ve done it dozens of times for several different models. It requires two screws, a bit of heat and a suction cup, then a couple more screws and some pull tabs. Usually takes under 30 minutes to do.
I don’t know how you could make it much easier while keeping the waterproofing. Rossman is a highly opinionated guy and I appreciate his advocacy, but he also makes no attempt to be fair to the product designers and is very biased.
If Fairphone can do it, I would think a company valued at like 3 Trillion dollars could do it…
Fairphone 4 isn’t IP68 though, it’s IP54. I personally don’t care much about waterproof vs water resistent, but let’s not pretend these two ratings are identical.
Yeah well, my dad’s phone is an IP69 and it can beat up your dad’s phone
It’s not as waterproof as the iPhone. Also likely made of entirely different materials.
Capitalism won’t save the planet.
Rejection of it will.
Doesn’t this guy own a phone repair company, and so would have a lot of interest in making an argument for that?
It’s the opposite for his business. His business become useless if people can replace batteries by themselves what the EU rule states.
Are you under the impression everyone changes their own cars oil
Maybe, but Rossman’s been a very loud proponent for the right to repair and would probably be the first to tell you that if you think you can repair your own electronics instead of bringing them to his shop, you should.
Is there anything from the video that you disagree with?
Even so, what the problem with that? He advocate and put a lot of effort to change repairability and is beneficial to a lot of people, the Apple side of repairability is beneficial for whom?
Louis Rossman is a pile of BS.
Some elaboration might be needed.
They’re an apple fanboy
