AndOne for the un
It’s almost like Apple is incredibly anti-consumer, and go out of their way to make buying a new phone more appealing than trying to repair the one you have
You think Apple is bad, let me tell you about a company named John Deere.
I went to the John Deere museum in Moline, and they were playing fucking devotional music about their tractors,
For God so loved the world that he gave us his sole-begotten tractor…
🤮🤑
…that we make with proprietary hardware & software that renders your tractor a brick when the electronics break…
Raaaammmmmennnn!!!
Oh mate, I’m aware of John Deere and their “but we can’t let the farmers repair their own equipment because the environment”
Yes, because independent repair shops are definitely going to sabotage your tractors to make them worse for the environment if you don’t step in and stop them!
It’s totally not about establishing a monopoloy to force farmers to pay exorbitant repair charges, or face paying for a whole new tractor entirely when you refuse to do repairs. Not at all!
/s in case it wasn’t obvious
This makes no sense. How does a working phone “miss a few vitals parts” necessary to replace battery?
there’s a channel on YouTube, by louis rossman. you’ll find plenty of examples of bs answers from apple tech support in order to make you spend a great deal of money.
furthermore, nowhere it talks about “vital parts”. So yeah, it makes no sense, but for other reasons.
Read your comment twice, now I got what you mean. took me a bit, but you’re definitely right.
Does Louis rossman do anything else?
Because I can see making bank off gathering bad experiences. Statistically there must be dozens each day.
The anti-Apple crowd would binge the shit out of that.
Idiocracy is here and now.
You say “anti Apple crowd” like we shouldn’t all be exactly that. Corporations have nobody’s interest at heart but their own. Stop being a fanboy, stop feeling any kind of loyalty for a bunch of rich fucks that’ll screw you over first chance they get. Pro consumer is the only reasonable position to have.
I imagine this is how Apple would justify it - if there are internal screws or shields missing then it’s a sign that it has been repaired previously by a 3rd party. It might work fine, but it’s not to the original Apple specification.
The Apple store don’t want to take responsibility for those repairs so refuse to do further work in case it leaves them with liability.
And it sells like fresh cookies
This is such a fake and dumb story and largely why 4chan post 2005 is so shallow. These kids don’t have the writing skills to write anything remotely convincing
Yeah, everyone knows apple fix things for free, instantly with magic and a blowjob on the side. Apple anti consumer? Never heard of it
There’s plenty of things to hate on Apple about, no need to make things up.
Unless one has taken their phone to a dodgy repair shop, there is no feasible way it would be missing pieces.
My own anecdotal experiences with Apple range from The fuck? to Nice! It seems that like most companies, it depends on which person helps, and if they are willing to help.
You’re right but people are mad because they think you’re defending Apple for some reason.
There’s really no way to know if they’re right. We don’t have evidence for the original story either way saying if it happened or not.
However, we do have plenty of people’s experiences saying similar things have happened to them.
If we’re being honest, we can at least conclude the story is plausible, even likely. Saying absolutely either way is dogmatism apropos of nothing.
The burden of proof is on the poster to verify the story. I think it’s safe to say like 80% of stories on the internet are fake (what does ‘some missing parts’ even mean??)
I don’t doubt people have had similar experiences but greentexts are rarely true and this one sounds incoherent to me
