    We need to take a page from the EU and force this stuff to happen by law. Expecting for-profit businesses to do anything they’re not legally required to is simply naive.

      I live in the EU and I even wish for a bit more aggressiveness regarding laws like this. It’s a very slow moving machine, but I feel like it does have the ability to create change.

        It 100% does! The next iPhones will have USB-C in them, and that’s not because Apple thinks it’s time to deprecate Lightning. They love their proprietary USB 2 connection! They were forced to upgrade, and you did that!

    Does anyone know if he really uninstalled GrapheneOS of his device after the disagreement with Daniel Micay (former lead developer of GrapheneOS Project ) or it was just a clickbait?

    iPhone batteries are already pretty easy to replace. I’ve done it dozens of times for several different models. It requires two screws, a bit of heat and a suction cup, then a couple more screws and some pull tabs. Usually takes under 30 minutes to do.

    I don’t know how you could make it much easier while keeping the waterproofing. Rossman is a highly opinionated guy and I appreciate his advocacy, but he also makes no attempt to be fair to the product designers and is very biased.

    Every time I see Rossman’s face he is butthurt about Apple. I don’t know if it’s just the reporting or does he ignore issues presented by other manufacturers

      He does often mention that others do it too, and has videos about other companies like Samsung, or camera companies, just not nearly as much.

      If you watched any of his videos you’d know the answer and you wouldn’t have made this comment.

        I don’t and I did. What’s your point? I’m not gonna watch some YouTuber I’m not interested in just to find out if he is butthurt about other things than

      Apple isn’t perfect, but they are a great target to get clicks. I’ve been repairing phones, as a charity for kids in need for years, and they can be annoying to fix but they’re way more straightforward than most Android phones. Parts are usually really cheap and easy to find too.

      He should be going after the $300 Android phone that is made to be disposable and is basically unrepairable. I don’t even bother with those anymore.
