Epic sues Apple after Fortnite removed from App Store

A tiny chip makes third party iPhone 13 screen repairs nearly impossible
MplsP said:Does the screen include the FaceID module? If not, I can think of no reason to justify this. It’s another example of why we need right to repair laws. Ironically, it’s the type of move that makes an iphone less desirable. If you buy an iphone at your local store and the screen breaks, what do you do if there’s no ‘authorized’ service center near you? You’re stuck mailing it off, paying more money and waiting longer to get your phone back. There are thousands of independent repair shops that can replace a screen in less than a day, often in a few hours. If you’re trying to decide between an Android phone and an iPhone and the iphone is a pain in the ass to repair, it doesn’t make it more attractive.
I disagree. As an Apple user and stockholder, it is not Apple’s responsibility to design their products so that other people can make money from repairing them. That’s total nonsense. They don’t need to “justify” how or why they design and build products. It’s amazing the number of people who think that Apple should be forced to help them make money, like that fool at Epic. -
So far, Apple is struggling to market Apple Vision Pro
The price point! Blah, blah, blah. Everyone complaining about the price seems to be mostly people who can't afford it. Millions CAN afford it, geez. People paid more for Taylor Swift and Beyonce tickets for one show. People pay more for one basketball or football game, every week. People pay more for sneakers, purses, and bottles of wine. If they want it, they won't think twice about the price. Get over it.
