Kombucha 04/12/18 4:27:41 AM #1:	i agree with apple's approach on some fronts such as their approach to user data and privacy, but this is not one of them. this is basically an attack on right to repair and consumer choice and afaik there is no real need for this. previously they did this sort of thing due to the fingerprint sensor and their argument was about security but they ended up backtracking due to pressure. however... the screen in the iphone 8 has nothing to do with any security feature. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2z4pjgP-AM" data-time=" i know you all aren't going to watch a 7 minute video but basically if you replace the screen on an iphone 8 (even with an oem screen) apple will detect it and brick the phone. --- http://www.last.fm/user/walkingishonest <cite>Kombucha posted [p:899511953] in psa: apple...

When has Apple been pro consumer? i guess when they didn't create a backdoor for the fbi or decide to monetize user data even though it would have made investors extremely happy. not defending this, just saying it isn't black and white. soldered ram and drives are definitely on the list of "not consumer friendly" in addition to this. --- http://www.last.fm/user/walkingishonest <cite>Kombucha posted [p:899512232] in psa: apple...
