There is NO VALID REASON to glue-in batteries and not make them user-serviceable!

Unless you're an #AntiRepair #asshole #corporation like #Apple!

@Fairphone Granted I still criticise them for all the right reasons, like basically #dowgrading their devices in terms of #Functionality [no real #DualSIM, no #HeadphoneJack,] compared to #FP3plus I do own and use...

And to be honest, for any phone that costs 4 digits I expect it to be as #repariable & #rugged as a 13+ year old #SatellitePhone at it's release...

And yes, #Apple's #AntiRepair should be illegal simply for being #AntiCompetition and an extra #Asshole Move designed to create 100% avoidable #eWaste for their corporate #Profit.

iPhone 14 Pro Programmed To Reject Repair - Teardown and Repair Assessment

YouTube

Imagine if your car refuses to start without having an external jumpstarter connected and even then would only drive 30 km/h just BECAUSE you went to a car repair shop around the corner to have the windshield fixed BEFORE the nick would create a huge crack and every cop would pull you over and force you to get your car towed and fixed as it's not road-legal to drive with a cracked windscreen!

People would start throwing Molotovs at car dealerships!

@kkarhan I am now a Google Pixel user. Apple can't abuse me any more. At least on the software side. I know Android isn't much better although far as I am aware it doesn't check the part serial numbers and refuse to boot if you replace your screen. Apple now 😬😬😬

@elaine Yeah, and whilst I use a @Fairphone / #Fairphone #FP3plus, the problem is that #Apple's #Enshittification is being normalized due to lack of #backclash from most consumers [aka. people still buy that shit anyway!] and regulators [aka. #WhatYouAllowIsWhatWillContinue!] against those actions!

i mean the other issue is we've normalized a culture where people will take out loans to buy phones. This encourages corporations to spend in the wrong area thanks to hyper profit.
