Apple iPhone 13 is a disgrace

[DJ-Daz]

Looking at Louis Rossman videos regarding the iPhone 13 and then seeing a recommendation for this video, I had to watch.


It seems that Apple think it's a great idea (for them and NOT for the customer) to add hardware ID's to the components. You can argue that security is better, if someone has access to the phone, they could add custom nefarious hardware and have full hacked access to the phone. At least the end user would know it's been hacked. But for state sponsored hacking, they have unlimited resources and could hack and modify the phone without being detected.

But for you and I, if we drop our phone, and lets face it, we do all the time, replacing the screen is a new phone, or replace the camera, and it's a new phone, break the power input jack, and it's a new phone. Want to replace the tired and worn out battery? Yep, new phone. The phone is almost completely unserviceable. Meaning you can't repair the iPhone 13, you can't replace serviceable parts like the battery or display, you end up having to buy a new phone. Good for Apple, bad for an end user experience.

To be honest, it seems to me that this is to entirely destroy third party repairs. This is not done to help or benefit the end user.

Apple will not pay attention to complaints, they just don't care, they are worth too much money and make too much money to give a damn about a single user complaint, even class action doesn't phase them one tiny bit, they make more money in a day than it costs them to pay out, and their legal team is in-house so they pay them regardless.

The other cost of course comes to the environment. With each iPhone now being nothing more than e-waste and going to landfill as soon as you drop it or need to replace a component. And apple are so adamant that they are for being green. They're not, they're a greedy corporation that is fuelled only by profit.

If you really want to let apple know you're not impressed by these tactics, don't buy their products, don't buy their subscriptions, keep old devices for as long as possible, and when the time comes replace the device with an alternative.

But of course we won't do that, Apple's marketing is too good, which brings us to another point. The WHOLE idea of buying and owning a new Apple device is psychological and honed to such a fine point that resistance is futile. It's actually hard to say no. But it's time we did.
I have an iPhone XS, and I don't watch Apple presentations or watch Apple influencers, when you start watching and hearing the opposite opinions, you really start to see Apple for what they truly are... The pathological liar, the sociopath, the psychopath next door. Someone to be feared. They tell you it's for our benefit, but it's absolutely not for our benefit at all, it only benefits them. What Apple do today, everyone else will start doing tomorrow.
