A pretty comprehensive video by Hugh Jeffreys covering how Apple has been restricting repairability in their devices, even before 2012.
P.S. Apple’s iPhones may be exempt from California’s R2R bill, apparently they slipped an exemption in there for “waterproof portable devices” 🤦♂️
This could lead to more devices being waterproof xD
And then a company comes up with repairable waterproof devices, thus disproving Apple…
Galaxy S5. Waterproof and a replaceable battery. It is easily possible to do better a decade later.
They really don’t care if some company did.
