Comment on Apple Shares Full iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Repair Manuals
tabular@lemmy.world 1 week agoIf one has followed Apple with regards to their repair programs or their opposition to right to repair laws then it’s only natural to expect the old apple on the ground to be rather fermented.
I may very well find a “very nice” looking manual, but I’ve come to expect it is actually unhelpful - at least that’s the opinion of a certain 3rd-party Apple repair shop owner.

Honestly, Apple was for years very anti-repair.
So the manuals are nice but that doesn’t absolve them for the decades of products designed to be hard to repair on purpose.
I won’t go full Rossmann but seriously Appol very bad when it comes to repairability and reliability. But they can release a few manuals and they are absolved for their bullshit?
It’s a start but Apple still makes purposefully hard to repair products.

I never claimed the manuals did avsolve them of anything.
I simply said that the manuals are nice and complained about the meaningless Apple hate when the commenter had not even looked at the linked manuals.
