      the comparison for ease of repair between iphone and other brands is normally in the screen replacement. with iphone you take the screen off and transfer a couple things if not just one, with a samsung you have to take the back off and transfer everything he just did in the video just to fix a screen unless you have the tools to seperate the glass from the body of the phone. its rediculous

      They've been an ahole company doing the exact same things since before the first iPhone - albeit to a smaller degree originally. This is the natural place where we have ended up because their fanboys enjoy paying more for inferior products and defending anti-consumer practices while being reamed by Apple.

I bought a new shell and spend 3 hours stripping it down and completely rebuilding it. After it looked brand new and worked perfectly too.

    Hey Hugh! you can get rid of battery warning message by simply replacing battery vmr chip of the orignal battery into the replacement one by removing the insulation tape and cutting of the chip but you have to be careful not to bend the flux cables. You do need micro welding machine to weld it to the replacement battery... I know it's tricky n long shot but I would love to see you doing this experiment in your next video.
