Depends on the device you get. Guess what?
Out of my 4 fairly new Android devices, not a damn one of them are epoxied together.
Why does epoxy matter for it being “disposable”? No one has a problem getting their iPhone fixed.
You are either a troll or an idiot. Maybe both. I hope I’m wrong though.
You must not know anything about the R2R movement, the Right To Repair. Apple certified techs aren’t allowed access to schematics or parts, their entire goal is to sell you a new device.
No need to be rude.
Again, youre wrong. Both Apple and Samsung release repair manuals and provide replacement parts. Literally no one has a problem getting either phone repaired.
I’m all for right to repair, but android phones suck for planned obsolescence so acting like they’re better about this is delusional. Don’t give them a pass.
Apple doesn’t provide parts, they’re providing assemblies. Those are easier to install, but way more expensive.
That’s a good point. If iPhones are more expensive to repair, then many people will dispose of them rather than repair. But I looked this up, completely expecting you to be right, and it looks like android phones like Samsung are often even more expensive to repair. So I’m still not seeing the justification for the original claim that iPhones are more disposable.
Yeah, I didn’t do a comparison to Android phones, just DIY repairs like Louis Rossmann provides. He can replace single chips when they’re broken, making a repair cost a few cents in parts rather than hundreds of Dollars.
