If a company requires an employee to spend their time on something as a condition of employment then the employee should be compensated for that time. That’s not that radical of an idea.

It’s pretty pathetic that Apple didn’t just pay them for their time and avoid the whole legal situation.

I don't know any more about the case than what's already been reported, but I wonder why anybody would be keeping personal apps/data on a work phone.

If she was actually running Robinhood, Pokemon and Google Drive on a work phone, i wonder why.

Don't people know that your work phone is property of your employer and they therefore have a right to anything and everything you put on it?

If you want to run personal apps, keep them on your personal phone, which your employer has no right to access (although they may also prohibit you from bringing it onto a corporate campus or connecting to the corporate Wi-Fi).

Ditto for your work laptop.  Don't put any personal apps/data on it that you wouldn't want your employer to see.  Keep personal stuff on your personal computer (which, again, you might not be allowed to bring to the office).

I was reading an article a few weeks ago that said one someone starts at Apple they are encouraged to use their personal Apple IDs for work instead of creating one specifically for work.

Well technically a quantum leap is the smallest step possible.

And if the climate change radicals get their way this is the future for the U.S. Learn to live one or two days a week without power... to save the planet of course.

Nuclear power would solve the problem once and for all; it’s by far the greenest energy, if everything is factored in (land and resource use, waste, CO2, impact on eco systems, cradle to grave) and there’s enough of it for hundreds of millions of years.

I’m kind of surprised that China isn’t more reliant on nuclear power. Here in the US because of the politics and people’s exaggerated sensitivity to fission nuclear power (while a giant fusion reactor in the sky bombards us with radiation) I understand why we rely on it less. No group of investors wants to spend billions on building a plant that they may never be able to open. But in China I wouldn’t think that was an issue.

So you’re blaming Apple because the component swap doesn’t work how unauthorised/untrained ‘repairers’ assumed it would?

If I try to replace a component on my car and lack the tools/expertise to do the job properly, I don’t blame the manufacturer.

Did if ever occur to these idiots that, contrary to troll propaganda, Apple doesn’t just use generic parts with unmodified firmware. These fake repairers should be taken to court for fraud.

It’s not rocket science. It isn’t as if Apple has a team of engineers doing their repairs.
