Anon describes apple's practices

[cruxifux@feddit.nl]

Yeah I don’t go to Apple stores with phone problems anymore. The convenience they’re supposed to represent is a bold faced lie and the people who work there are absolute morons who molest the meaning of the word “genius.”

Android ia the savior at this point, fuck google and apple tho

My iPhone 5’s battery was fucked after 3.5 years

Went into Apple Store for first time in my life

They took phone, I walked around for a half hour

Went back, they replaced battery because it was a known issue for free

Used phone for another year before giving it to a friend

This story is a lie.

Buy fairphone!

This happened to me, just with a shattered screen instead of an old battery. Fucker tried to tell me my phone was bricked. I turned it on in front of the cunt and left.

[eyekaytee@aussie.zone]

Battery is dead. Customer disservice can't run diagnostics software on it because it won't turn on because the battery is dead. They won't replace the battery because the battery is dead. That entire cult is a fucking farce.

Get yourself a pocket president to legitimize everything you do and crime becomes legal.

Well i mean no but kinda yes. iOS 18.1 has part pairing, which means it only works on specific hardware configurations

Could've bought a new android phone for the same price.

You do know that Android is a wholly owned subsidiary of Google, right?

I agree with fuck big corporations, but Android isn’t a savior, it’s basically the only open source option for now. Google is shoving their AI into it, and you can only use the most secure version of Android, GrapheneOS, by buying a Pixel, a phone made by Google.

The better goal is for other open source OS’s to become more mainstream and have the capabilities of Android or iPhone.

I couldn't get a 5 € USB port exchanged on warranty because of a small tear in the screen. Because those fuckers glued the screen on. I wish I had had the energy and time to sue them for warranty. Not my problem if they make their shit harder to repair.

Edit: Was for Nokia, not Apple.

[bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de]

Fairphones suck though, if you want to fix your problems. Got a Fairphone 3 after my Nokia couldn't be repaired. I got it explicitly to have a phone that can be repaired more easily. But you know what? The fucker refuses to break!

I live in South Korea. Pretty much anywhere you go there's going to be a Samsung center. Tolerable(albeit not ideal) price, at least compared to Apple, fast(got my mobo fixed in <1h), super nice people.

I know they're far from perfect and I'd use Pixels in a heartbeat once Google decides to sell them in South Korea but Samsung in South Korea at least, pretty impressive. If only they weren't fucking us with higher prices compared to other countries and shitty Exynos chips...

[bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de]

What's next, you're going to tell me the story is homosexual as well?!?

Leaving a comment in case someone can link it

Could this be any more blurry?
