Apple he must be joking, they can’t be serious “, with these words the editor of The Verge Sean Hollister opens his article about the hallucinatory experience he had after taking the bitten apple around a kit to replace the battery of your iPhone Forget pocket kits from brands like iFixit. The reporter received two 36 kg suitcases You read that right.
So, not too between the lines, the magazine accuses Apple of creating the DIY repair program with the express intent of making it fail. So you can say, “Have you seen it? It can’t be, now crawl back to our very expensive authorized service centers”.
From the end of April it will finally be possible in the USA to replace defective parts of iPhones without the intervention of assistance. It all happens through a Apple’s official programwhich provides users with everything they need to replace screens, chips, batteries, etc. The advantage is that you save on service costs.
On paper it was supposed to be cool, in practice the service seems to be intentionally clunky, cumbersome and therefore not very useful.
Let’s go back to our official super kit. There is a kind of vice that the iPhone must be in during operations. Once the smartphone is in place, it is heated to soften the adhesive and allow the case to be opened. Then there’s an arm with suction cups to lift the display and then a press to put all the internal components back into place perfectly. All this is delivered in two voluminous carts, for a total weight of 36 kg.
Oh we forgot: the customer has a week to return the kit to Apple. If it does not work, you will have to pay a fine of € 1,200. It’s pretty obvious that this can’t work.
