As an avid Apple hater... I will admit, they do make some cool things sometimes. I just can't get over the company's ethics, though... My mother got locked out of her iPad before, and she paired her account to another account or something... I have no clue really, anyway long story short I tried everything from diagnostic tools on odd corners of the internet, to asking around hardware forums for solutions. No way to reset it. No way to unlock it. It's just a piece of e-waste now. That's what drove me away from Apple.
I really love Apple but things I hate about Apple is locking down repairs and a closed system. When my friend’s iPad got iCloud locked, she was SOL. Now the iPad is just an expensive paperweight.
I love apple Proceeds to describe a bunch of terrible problems and spends hundreds fixing it. I dont get the obsession with apple products or the loyalty they inspire. For $675 i could have bought a great windows machine second hand andthe minutea repair shop grt in a mac they know you have money and the repair is gonna cost you out the wazoo.
So to Apple's credit the Self Service repair is a contracted third party, Spot. With that said I'm finding it more of an option for older devices than for devices just a couple years old. I'm actually leaning more towards OEM pulls than certified new part, but in this case a certified new apple part would be a must.
I think they charge so much so most people just buy a new device. I like old Mac products but I'm not keen on the overengineered serial tracking they got going on if my screen breaks I don't particularly care if it's a high quality replacement on a 3 to 5 year old product and sure don't want to deal with unlocking anything if it fits properly it should just work after replacement. That's just me happy with my 2005 emac 2008 imac don't think I would buy any of their newer products price to performance intel and AMD PC's are leagues better and gaming is just so much better on PC.
That human was an employee of multi billion dollar company that should have tested the tutorial themselves. Stop advocating that consumers do free labor
I'm enjoying your content on both channels.. Thanks for sharing this! Frustrating as it may be, that lid sensor needs to work in concert with other hardware for security while maintaining how convenient it is for the owner to unlock the thing with their face/thumb. Consider how engineering oversights, discovered by droves of people trying to exploit them, are why we can jailbreak and mod our consoles. Do you want your personal productivity device to be compromised if someone runs off with it? I know I'd rather not have a stolen phone/laptop end up ruining me financially. Apple is damned if they do, and damned if they don't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I agree that Apple catches a lot of flack for their decisions, but there is absolutely no way someone could hack into a MacBook through the Lid Angle Sensor if it was rewritable
@@JakeSimmonsyou can say that until it happens… just saying that we can TSOP an Xbox because you can re-enable write, which MS disabled for a reason, on the bios chip. What’s to stop someone from using a rewritable lid switch to figure out how and compromise it and eventually gain access to the system? Security is not convenient.
I've never tried their self service repair myself, as the only Apple products I own are a first generation iPod Mini and a 6th generation iPod Classic. Both of which I've flash modded. I've never been a fan of Mac OS, I learned how to use computers on Windows machines in grade school and our home PC were always Windows. Then I went to a high school where everything was Macintosh except for 2 Windows PCs in the library for printing off homework from Microsoft Office files. But then I went back to Windows after that and never looked back.
Apple authorized service centers charge more than the Apple Store to do the repair because Apple charges them just as much for parts as they do the customer to do the repair at the Apple Store. This way the repair shop either a) doesn't make a prophet or b) looks like they're overcharging or c) simply doesn't do repairs. Apple doesn't want their stuff being repaired, they want people buying new, what company doesn't right? Well Apple goes out of their way - electronically serializing all the main parts on their devices so they will either not work, or show an aftermarket warning if the serials don't match, even if the parts are genuine from another device. Then they effectively charge so much for the repair shop to use their serialization system that the repair becomes more than getting it done at Apple. If Right to Repair says they have to offer repair solutions, then they do, but go out of their way to see to it that they get all the prophet for the repair shop's work and that repair shop makes nothing. Their self repair program and their authorized repair program are both useless and a running joke in the tech repair community.
No chance in hell I would ever use that garbage program and I have now sworn off Apple Computers. Only reason for keeping an iPhone is my family uses them. However, they are just doing it to pay lip service to the politicians to avoid right to repair legislation. I hope the EU sets them straight, because thats the only way we got a far superior USB-C on the iphones. As for repairing my apple devices, I replaced my M1 macbook air screen with a $200 replacement from aliexpress and it has been much better than the stock. So I would rather take my chances with any dodgy aliexpress workaround before giving apple anymore money. Like I said, it will be the last, as jumping through the unecessary "security" chips is complete garbage.
Ad block users are fine. While it does hurt me financially, I understand that most people are doing it to have a better experience on the internet and it’s not to hurt me but to hurt those who take advantage of placing too many ads. I appreciate your defense though
@@JakeSimmons I guess so... I still don't like the idea of slowly taking us normal ad users any possibility away for future youtube staying free... And the more ad blocker users there are, the more likely it will be and the more extreme the ads will become, because youtube still needs to make money
The words "Apple" and "self repair" don't go together in one sentence
Louis Rossmann might also agree.

Also, did you you provide feedback on the missing parts of the tutorial? That was another human(s) that wrote it ... be a human back.
That human was an employee of multi billion dollar company that should have tested the tutorial themselves.

I did provide feedback. Their tutorial caused me to waste more of my time and become very frustrated. I believe my response was acceptable
@@JakeSimmonsgreat. And maybe they’ll see your video, too 👍

to do a dfu restore or revive, you just need have another mac

sorry for being an ad block user ☹
You are forgiven
Hot take: Ad Blocker users suck and only care about themselves
