    Seems about right, the people who got repairs through the bloke in mall kiosk or corner shop for a few bucks rather that have genuine parts are the exact same who want something for nothing and appreciate nothing.  Scum, the lot of them.
    So, living 4 hours driving from an Apple repair center, while there is a non official repair shop just around the corner, is enough to be qualified as scum
    Do you want something for nothing, and appreciate nothing?  I think these are the types of people that are being qualified as possible scum in the quoted comment.

    There are other options availabale to get your iPhone repaired by an authorized repair center; rather than going to a kiosk if you don't live close to an Apple Store.

    ... This is a story of lawyers trying to squeeze money out of Apple and nothing more. Apple has fixed the problem and offered reimbursement.
    But NOT included pay off money for the lawyers who want that big pie (notice I did not say "slice of the pie").

    If your car is having brake issues, and you take your car to a local mechanic who is not authorized, and if he replaces the parts with non-authorized factory equipment and then the brakes fail and you crash the car... Do you sue the car manufacturer?

    A: No.

    The fact is that these people contracted with a fly-by-night repair shop who is not Apple authorized. That company/person screwed up and they probably tried to sue them too. But the contract they signed probably limits liability and they have no money. This is a story of lawyers trying to squeeze money out of Apple and nothing more. Apple has fixed the problem and offered reimbursement.
    No car manufacturer has ever rendered a car unusable because a car was repaired at a third party shop.

    But for most modern cars you can only get coded security keys from an authorized dealer...

    Do people really have this much time on their hands? 
    Lawyers do and they expect to be paid for it.

    You have obviously never replaced any part of the electrical system of a Range Rover.
