Following today’s launch of the new iPhone 16 models, Apple has shared repair manuals for the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16 Plus, the iPhone 16 Pro, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The repair manuals provide technical instructions on replacing genuine Apple parts in the ‌iPhone 16‌ models, and Apple says the information is intended for “individual technicians” that have the “knowledge, experience, and tools” that are necessary to repair electronic devices.

    Honestly, Apple was for years very anti-repair.

    So the manuals are nice but that doesn’t absolve them for the decades of products designed to be hard to repair on purpose.

    I won’t go full Rossmann but seriously Appol very bad when it comes to repairability and reliability. But they can release a few manuals and they are absolved for their bullshit?

    It’s a start but Apple still makes purposefully hard to repair products.

      I never claimed the manuals did avsolve them of anything.

      I simply said that the manuals are nice and complained about the meaningless Apple hate when the commenter had not even looked at the linked manuals.
