Anon describes apple's practices

"Functional machine" is the working term here. But I guess we have different definitions of what counts as "functional"
We do not have different definitions of a functional machine. If you think theyāre overpriced, fine; underperforming per price:performance ratio? Fine. Whatever you want. But brand new Apple products work and you all sound ridiculous defending calling them paperweights.

That was fun to watch

No it does not. Anyone who refers to a functional machine as a paperweight should be involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation.
Bro what? It's a greentext - it's 4chan. They all need theraphy.

As a matter of fact, yes!
Now AI upscale it. Then blur it again. Let's see how many times we can do this before it changes the text.

If the battery is dead how can they turn it on to find out what the problem is? Literally an unsolvable problem.
I suppose in theory they could replace the battery and then see if that fixed the issue, and if it didn't then there's another issue, and then fix that issue, but all that seems like a lot of work.

What's next, you're going to tell me the story is homosexual as well?!?
wrote last edited by [email protected]I donāt know OP well enough to complete the meme, but I did work for Apple for many years, and several of these details donāt match their script at all.
Missing parts? The interior of that phone is one soldered piece. Just shrugging the question off? Apple people will talk your head off about the diagnostic test to sound clever. Battery swap? They would have been looking at replacing the whole unit because thatās how they roll.

Sure, but does nobody know what a paperweight is?

Yes. The person who correctly points out that functional computers are not paperweights is a cultist. If you legitimately believe that, you need a whole lot worse than prison.

Only a Genius could come up with a scheme that offloads the cost of their own laziness to the customer. Exactly the kind of innovation that Steve Jobs stood for.

No, they probably don't
just like floppy disks. The term now generally means "useless"http://paperweight.urbanup.com/2374416
Urban dic implies heavily on apple products too

Android is an open source OS mainly developed by Google (which doesn't include google apps/android closed ecosystem apps). The android OEMs may do this. But due to somewhat androids openness, I can get an android phone from other OEMs which I think would do somewhat better than this
Right, so like they said, it's about the OEM, not the OS.

Not a war crime, definitely a crime. Legal in the usa tho
Crime against humanity, and a crime against the planet.

Listen. Apple has a vested interest in you buying a new device. They "fix" your phone, it'll be.... What? Maybe $100? .... They sell you a phone and it's like 10x that.
Most people have so little fucks to give and so little free time to fuck around and find out, that they just shrug and go with it. Apple knows this. If they "can't" (won't) fix it, then it must not be able to be fixed anymore; the thoughts of a typical normie Apple user with more money than sense (or shits to give).
This is why Apple is a trillion dollar company. They treat their customers like ATMs. Just keep beating that horse until it stops making money.
If everyone simply replaced the batteries on their phones, not using Apple's service (even when they're willing to do the work), then they probably wouldn't be worth a trillion dollars.
Since there's enough NPCs out there giving them money to replace perfectly good devices with dead batteries, it will never change.
When you "trade in" your perfectly working phone for a new one, Apple suddenly absolutely can replace the battery, and they do, and then they sell your "unfixable" phone to the next schmuck, and make even more money.
I feel like this shit is so obvious that anyone who buys into the line "can't be fixed" from Apple (or any other vendor), is insane, or mentally incapable of making rational decisions.
I fully accept that if I send my phone for service from the first party (in my case, Google), and they say it "can't" be done, that's not a hard no to fixing my stuff; that's them refusing to serve me. I need to go somewhere else because I've been abandoned by the very people I put my trust into when I bought a device.

It's part of the American culture to get fisted by corpos. That is how they like it over there.

That is literally the exact definition I am trying to explain to these worthless dumbfucks.

Iāve posted this before, but I took a phone in for a battery replacement. Pretty routine. They took forever and finally came back to me and said āwe canāt replace your battery because we broke two screens trying to put it back together.ā Listen motherfuckers, you had one job, itās all you do all day, and you somehow had Slippy McThumbs as the technician? They then handed me a nonfunctional phone and, dead serious, asked for a good time for a call with tech support to get my phone replaced. Then took a $1000 deposit on a phone with a trade value of maybe $300 until they got the broken one. Three-ring shit show.

My iPhone 5ās 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
Iāve had 3 batteries replaced in three separate phones. The closest thing to an āissueā is they broke 2 of the phones, sounds bad right?! But wait, thereās more. Since itās the phone manufacturer and quite obviously their fault they replaced them with brand new phones of the same model. No more scratches and such. Just had to restore them from backup.
Also had a brand new phone start doing weird shit. I took a video of it doing the weirdness and went into the store. They couldnāt fault it or replicate it in any way. Still replaced because I had proof and the dude was super chill about it.
Obviously, not everyone is going to receive the same service or see having a complete new phone over a replacement battery as a positive but from my experience I canāt fault Apples service so far.

computers
Apple don't make computers, they make wealth extractors.
