yeah exactly Apple wants to control all the parts so they can charge high prices so you'll just upgrade

you can't find any parts OEM without going thru Apple

Apple Watch battery is absolutely fried rn. Charge lasting no longer than 4 hours since Wednesday. Something is f***ed up smh

Yeah fax.

I’d thought the push for right to repair would also mean right to fairly priced parts.

Apple should still make money if you buy a replacement part, but i dont think they should make double the price of the part.

because you’re more likely to f*** up the repair if you DIY it

For an average consumer yes. But for a tech enthusiast who builds their own pc's and knows measures to take it doesn't make much sense.

some of these components require soldering and special machines in order to properly repair them

I think this goes outside enthusiasts spectre, specially the ones who build PCs.

Even still, a technician with the parts may still be cheaper than applecare.

I mean Apple's never gonna sell any the small parts, they'll just sell you the entire motherboard

people think the RAM, GPU, Security Chip and SSD are still soldered but the M1 changed that, they are embedded in the SOC there is no way to replace those things separately even if you could solder

Apple is going to move more and more things into the SOC making soldering impossible for most components

m1 pro shipped today , expected delivery was originally dec 8-15

just bought a apple watch

I have 3 Displayport 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 adapters

none of them work with the new MacBook, 2 work with my PC which is weird I think they're using DSC damn Apple for not opening up DSC I know that s*** could work cause it worked in old versions of Mac OS and on the Displays they sell in the Apple store

there is no reason Mac OS couldn't do 8k 60hz with DSC I wonder what's Apple logic, maybe they have a monitor line coming?

getting a 4th one though I've heard good things about hope it works

there is a new dongle you can only order from Germany but it has a Realtek chips that is suppose to convert this and has been shown at trade shows for years crazy it's out in the wild

the 4k 120hz HDMI OLED journey continues

2 weeks

Finally about to try out the 13pro

Ive had the m1 pro for 24 hrs now.. so good

Yeah this laptop has blessed me not a single cpu overload on logic i could cry

Can’t believe there is still no clear all tabs on these phones lol

I’m thinking of trading in my phone for the pro but if it takes that long, I might just wait, since I’ll be phoneless

I'm almost positive there is a way to do this but let me verify when I'm back on my phone

My 2017 mbp no touchbar is dying on me

The 'e' key is coming off and the battery needs to be serviced. I don't have Apple Care and don't really know much about Apple repairs.

Is it worth repairing or would the cost make it more suitable to just buy a new one?

Chrome gang

What size

Nah I mean clear all phone apps that’s open lol
