Apple's Self Repair Program was never going to be what repair advocates wanted

Apple's iPhone repair tool kit that it rents is wheeled and weighs 79 pounds
hexclock said:You want professional tools? Prepare to lug them around. That’s the way it works.
And, honestly, when it comes to construction equipment, professional = bigger = better cooling, so you can run it 8 hours straight w/o burning out.
Professional doesn't have to mean outlandishly big & powerful, it is simply about having the correct tools for the job. -

CantRememberUsername said:Obviously no one works on their own cars where you can:
1) whip up a tool from what you have around the garage for free
2) buy/rent the off-brand gadget that handles a few different situations on various similar cars
3) pay hundreds/thousands for the specific tool listed in the manufacturer's official repair manual for one specific step in one specific procedure. The tool has been third-party certified under 9 different engineering standards.

Peloton cuts hardware prices & hikes subscription fees amid calls for sale to Apple
sagan_student said:Are those yearly or monthly subscription prices?!
The sales pitch is comparing the monthly cost to the monthly membership fee of your gym, personal trainer, etc.
The rub is that for far less equipment cost & no monthly fee you can ride a bike to work everyday -
