Anon gets his iPhone battery replaced

Back in the day this was even better:

Original Galaxy S battery was getting weak? Order a new battery from Amazon for 13€. Battery arrives, pop the back of the phone off, pull battery out (just like that, no soldering), push new battery in. Push the back of the phone back on, done.

New battery in and it had more mAh than the original one. Despite overclocking that phone it ran a day longer after the replacement.

This makes no sense. How does a working phone "miss a few vitals parts" necessary to replace battery?

"your phone is missing some parts"

I'm sorry what? Did they fall out when I turned it to the side?

It's almost like Apple is incredibly anti-consumer, and go out of their way to make buying a new phone more appealing than trying to repair the one you have

How are they only just now coming to that conclusion.

A screen replacement for an iPhone is like 80% of the price of the new phone. They've been doing this for years now. This isn't a great revelation.

buys iPhone

complains about unreasonable repair costs

You sleep in the bed you make.

I'm honestly glad that Apple products aren't popular in my country.

Happened to my friend. His son dropped his phone one time too many and facial recognition didn't work from them on.

He took the phone to the service center and was told the true depth sensor was broken and would need to be replaced. Cost was 38000 INR to replace when the entire phone cost around 65000 INR.

He said fuck it and came back. After a couple of weeks, it started working on its own.

Genius scamsters, alright.

“Your iPhone has detected that the replaceable battery you have inserted is not a genuine Apple battery. Please purchase and install only genuine Apple parts. Think Differently”

A little taste of the future even if Apple is forced to make phones with replaceable batteries…

Apple was shit during the Steve Jobs iphone years, too. Just ask Louis Rossman (used to do mac repair videos on YT, nowadays mostly talks about current computer stuff)

Oh, and the iphone 4 had a "feature" where holding the phone "wrong" made it lose all signal.

I want to laugh but a licensed Samsung repair shop couldn't repair my phone because I lost the stylus and Samsung licensing requires 100% pass of a test that includes the stylus before returning phones to customer.

Borrowed one from the Verizon shop down the street - gave them my driver license as collateral. Worked out but I was less than pleased with Samsung. They can still have my babies tho.

I will never bite the Apple

And it sells like fresh cookies

Would've been nice if they told us the location, still.

AndOne for the un

This is such a fake and dumb story and largely why 4chan post 2005 is so shallow. These kids don't have the writing skills to write anything remotely convincing
