  • Indonesia wants more than $1 billion from Apple to lift iPhone ban, welcomes Huawei with o...

    There comes a point where Apple is going to have to bite the bullet and flip the Indonesian government the bird and just pull completely out of the country until saner heads prevail. 

    It’s one thing to require some investment, but constantly moving the goal posts is outright bribery at this point. 
    I agree. Apple doesn't have to sell products to every country. I'm sure the USA supports Indonesia with plenty of money. There's no reason Apple needs to invest in this country. Goes the same with the other countries demanding major investments to get Apple products.

  • Teardown shows AirPods 4 still unfixable by the public

    I finally did a screen replacement on an iPhone instead of a battery replacement. It was only an iPhone 8 but it was very difficult because of the tiny screws. Smallest was around 1.3 mm, which is gone if it falls off a table. I magnetized my ifixit tools and still came close to losing screws. I’m not even going to try the latest ones, they require expensive tools to do everything. 

    It’s time for people to quit trying to force companies to make things repairable. It’s less expensive to make them work and last in the first place.
