Any better source than a Youtube short?<p>iFixit tested already what you can and cannot replace on an iPhone 14 here:<p><a href="https://www.ifixit.com/News/66879/iphone-14-parts-pairing-results-apple-is-still-trying-to-monopolise-repair" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.ifixit.com/News/66879/iphone-14-parts-pairing-re...</a><p>Maybe the person in the video missed something?
Apple continues to push the envelope when it comes to product design and anti third-party repair.<p>They must really hold the quality of their devices to such a high standard, that even people who would willingly accept the "risk" of installing third-party components (or first-party from the manufacturer!), can't install the parts in their phones because it'll cause problems.<p>Not to mention the software Apple uses to "link" each part in a phone together so it removes issues like this is closed source and not really available to anybody so even if you did replace parts yourself you still can't use them!<p>They call themselves green and climate friendly, but it doesn't seem so friendly when you can't even re-use components from other phones that are broken to fix yours!
Video with seekable interface: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fLEOiQdDkzk">https://www.youtube.com/embed/fLEOiQdDkzk</a> (at least on desktop; YMMV)<p>Geez, TikTok (basically) content on HN...
What is "searlized" ?
Given all the negative backlash on the actual video, I'm not sure I will learn by watching it.<p>Did they heat it up so much that it can't be taken off without being broken?
Waiting for independent replication.<p>Assuming it is proven true, this is unlike other attempts at crippling repairs from Apple as it's affecting behavior that is completely unrelated to the replaced module(the flash being implementable as a passive component). I wonder if the lawsuit against HP for disabling scanning when low on ink could set a precedent usable against this.
