No one is suggesting that Apple should do data recovery.
No one is suggesting that Apple shouldn't be allowed to censor their own support forum.

But if you're going to censor it, you GOTTA OWN IT.  Only APPLE can delete forum posts at Apple Support Community.  Only APPLE can ban users.  The APPLE SUPPORT COMMUNITY is an APPLE OWNED and APPLE MODERATED forum.

They delete posts that merely say "hey, wet phones can be brought back to life, look around for someone"  They choose to delete those, but leave "There is no hope"  That is NOT OKAY.   

Apple Insider--when someone shines a light on that--be human.  Admit--that this is absolutely NOT OKAY.  They choose to do it, so they gotta OWN IT.  There is no defense here.

Lastly--I'm a mom who learned how to fix iPhones, I'm not a unicorn.  Neither is Louis.  I have trained over 400 students to microsolder and do board repair.  There are plenty of people out there who can do this work affordably and with good success.   Apple should not have a problem advising people to just look around a bit with no guarantee or endorsement.  They should not be recommending prohibitively expensive $2000+ services that also buy our supplies and  learn from our videos like the rest of the mom and pops, and they should not ever be telling people that hardware repair is "impossible"

This response just put you in my black list... You obviously didn't read the editorial in full, as all the points you vocally bring up were addressed, and you still fail to comprehend, along with that dumpster organization called CBC, the scale of Apple's operation and how things work.

You also cling to the Apple USER Forum as some form of "written in stone" testament to how Apple operates, when NOTHING could be further from the truth!

I'm not going to debate the individual points you bring up, as they've already been knocked down by this editorial.

Although I am going to reiterate this, as I do to ALL the users I support in my IT profession (which is advanced sys admin); BACKUP YOUR DATA! If you don't, for whatever reason, and something happens, don't go crying to mommy, and instead blame yourself!

Oh, and both you and CBC are FLAT OUT WRONG when you both claim Apple doesn't offer support in directing customers to third-party options for data recovery that Apple themselves cannot perform. I've PERSONALLY gone to Apple Stores in my area on behalf of my users with their devices seeking assistance, and was told, in each event data recovery was needed, that they cannot do it, but third-party options are available, but cannot be guaranteed. So I would advise you, and the CBC, to retract that bogus claim.

Wow, talk about a blatant rip-off of the AirPods! Absolutely disgusting!

Companies like Scamsung and Huawei will never learn, this is their DNA; lie, cheat, steal, defraud until you get caught, then pay the fees, and rinse and repeat!

The level of whining weasel exhibited by this moron's diatribe is astounding...

We're all beating dead horses here, probably.

But whoever I talk to, Apple fanatics or people who converted from Windows or Anroid over the last few years, agree that Apple's pricing has gone out of hand. Everyone agrees that quality costs money. Yet they unanimously say that the have to re-evaluate whether they can justify buying another Apple device or not.

Sure, Apple can start lowering prices. But it seems that the damage to Apple's reputation has already been done. In a lot of people's minds they are a company that is selling highly overpriced devices. This makes me sad. It seems like such a foolish mistake to make. I don't understand it. 

Time Cook keeps talking about how expensive it is to develop these devices. But with the amount of cash the company is garnering every quarter, this seems like a desperate attempt to justify. People are not stupid. Developing the first iPhone, a truly revolutionary device, not evolutionary, with a much smaller marked, must have been very expensive. Yet it cost half as much as today's offerings. In a lot of people's minds - including mine - something just doesn't add up.

"Everyone agrees that quality costs money"

Which is why iPhones cost so much.

Funny how when Tim Cook says development costs have risen, he's lying. SMH.

Sorry but FaceID is more expensive than TouchID, OLED is more expensive than LCD etc.
Don't like it? Get an iPhone 8 for much cheaper and it's still better than any android spy device.

And YES people were bitching that the original iPhone was too expensive in 2007. Apple even responded by lowering the price in the U.S. something that has never happened since.

Bingo! And when you look at just how much more is packed into an iPhone today than it was when it was first released, the price increases are justifiable, just not to the people who want to have everything dirt cheap or free!
