RemontoireApple exec's latest interview is a pile of greenwashed BS
kitonthenetDoesn’t this guy own a phone repair company, and so would have a lot of interest in making an argument for that?
macbooks, no phones. And how do you make an argument that it’s better to change the whole phone than just the battery?
…So he wants to expand into phones. And I wouldn’t, I just don’t like when guys pretend they’re not doing the exact thing apple is doing.
VoyajerNo, he used to do phones a long time ago though iirc. He's repeatedly said he doesn't want to get back into phone repair because there's no margin.
Have you considered he opened a repair store cause he’s sick of the bullshit consumerism and irreparable devices
He didn’t open a business to make money? So it’s a non-profit?
By your logic, any business is evil because they make money and exploit the customer. Now you win the argument, go home.
I never said it’s evil, I just don’t like when dudes pretend they’re not doing the same thing apple is
LoafyLemonAny business is evil*
*Except apple \s
I used to watch his content a couple of years ago and I remember him saying multiple times that he reaches his goal if he goes out of buisness. Devices being so easy to repair, that his services are no longer needed would be a reason he’ll gladly accpect as a failure of his buisness. I haven’t watched him in a while so I’m not sure whether he still holds that opinion. But given that the laptops, phones and harddrives waiting for repair where literary piling up in his workshop, it’s more likely that his shop burns down than him running out of customers. What he lacks is time, and skilled workers to fullfill orders, which are much harder to come by than broken electronics.
It’s not profit if it’s his own wages
this guy just wants to help you replace parts of your phone instead of your whole phone
I don't see the issue
Have you come across Louis Rossmann online before?
It’s 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
Cars oil need more steps than removing the back of a phone and out a new battery.
ZeroHoraEven 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?
