  1. I kinda imagined that at some point Apple would do something like this... Just so people really understand what is happening there - this is active, and super shady sabbotage. Why would Apple purposedly introduce component part identification where the only incompatibility effect would be weird malfunctions instead of a clear warning? It's just so that the company can reinforce the message that independent repair is not reliable. It both has the effect to denigrate honest businesses, cement the idea that independent repair is not reliable in the publics' mind, and serve as an argument point in lobbying efforts. Look how many people took their iPhones to independent repair shops and now they cameras are not functioning as they should anymore! Nevermind this is only happening because of us. They surreptiously introduce an artificially created problem that will only appear if someone takes their phone into an independent repair store, it gets correctly fixed in every way, but the phone itself is pre-programmed to become defective because of this scheme. Man, that is some absolutely disgusting, nasty strategy. If you needed to see something even shadier than the famous planned obsolescence, there you are. And I totally agree with Louis. No one will care about this. It doesn't register as something as nefarious as it really is. And if we're being honest, consumers and citizens have lost far more with even less excuses... people just don't realize. It'll eventually come to bite everyone's asses eventually, but by then, it'll already be too late. What with Apple being a trillion dollar company.
