@prologic I guess it’s a win. But Apple looks like they’re spinning as “Hey look what we introduced isn’t that cool?” since a lot of consumers would not have even realised issues around right-to-repair.
It’ll be interesting to see where this leads to in the future.
@ullarah do you know of any other mobile phone selling company that is doing what Apple just announced? They are introducing something **very** cool! Something I don't thing anyone else is doing.
It's probably just a PR stunt like last time.
@mckinley You mean a PR stunt like the whole CASM utter bullshit Apple tried to pull? 😂

Definitely a step in the right direction, but I was curious to see what Louis Rossmann would say, and sure enough he's already made a video: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=2jCtVDCiY_8
Some very healthy skepticism, and he's been burnt before by the Independent Repair program thingy they had. The cynic in me personally does feel this will be extremely limited in scope and affordability and largely designed to get the heat off their backs. But let's _hope_ that's totally wrong.
@eldersnake is it just me or does Louis look like he functions on 2 hours of sleep?
@fastidious Not to my knowledge, however I’m really hoping the framework laptop takes off and somebody continues on with a modular based phone. There was a project a few years back about that…
@fastidious It is a step in the right direction, I'm not arguing against that, but it won't make me much less skeptical, when it's coming from a company that spent years trying do fight for the exact opposite thing, making official parts hard to get, the phones very difficult to repair and unofficial services unable to even properly "calibrate" the parts together.
