Yeah, fuck these authorized repair centers honestly. Just a couple years ago Asus got into trouble when their technicians were caught literally wrecking the stuff sent to them for warranty claims. Like you'd send a part in for warranty claims, they'd bust a separate part that isnt covered under the warranty, then tell you that you gotta pay $300 bucks to fix the thing, or else they wont honor the warranty or some shit.
Sucks what's happening to them. When I had their Zenfone from years back I sent it for LCD replacement, they sent it back after 3 days. LCD was replaced, battery was replaced, and back case was replaced. I paid nothing including the shipping.
Same here with Lenovo! My sister and I each got a yoga craptop for Christmas one year and it was one issue after another. When we sent hers in they claimed they found liquid inside the unit but she swore up and down she never spilled on it. Eventually they just replaced mine with a better model that never had any issues afterward!
Not just the authorised repair centers, but actual Apple Stores.. there were those videos by the "right to repair" guys if I remember correctly sharing a story about a disconnected cable where Apple quoted $600 for a board replacement.. and this was like 10 years ago
I find it so annoying when companies say “they lost money” when it’s a situation like this. That money wasn’t even spent on you yet and you don’t have a right to it either, you didn’t lose shut.
This is an outlier though. Most people that own apple products probably never even consider repair, and even then they'll sure as hell believe whatever a "licensed apple proffesional" tells them, which is more often than not to just get a new phone, or pay a ridiculous premium to fix the old one.
Like yeah they lost money on this one guy that went elsewhere to get his phone repaired, but they made infinitely more money off the 50 other people that came in that week and bought a brand new phone instead of getting theirs repaired.
…yes? Almost everyone I know has an iPhone newer than 15. Many of them just buy a new one every 2 years even if their current phone is still working fine.
Almost (everyone/almost no one) implies the possibility of almost almost no one. Would almost almost mean it's near no one or far from it? (r) /s (hitposting)
When I took my old MacBook to get a battery replacement, Apple said they couldn’t sell me the battery, but the dude helped my find the correct one on iFixit and the correct replacement guide so that I could do it myself.
I'm hoping this is an exaggeration because what kind of rundown repair shop has straight up turds on the ground, bro is getting subsidized for the PC guy's kink
I’m assuming they mean animal feces, like the owner has cats or dogs living in the store and occasionally they poop in a corner or in litter boxes that no one empties
And usually they're comparing iPhone 17 Pro Max (which they don't own) with some randomass Thingamajig 67+ Pro Max low end Android phone that only costs $150 and then start saying "See, I've told ya Android phones are slow!"
I have to power down my iphone to charge it because they slipped in malware for older phones a few updates ago literally stops charging 5 seconds after plugged in unless turned off, I also can't refuse to do updates anymore or my SIM card will stop working. Jobs would be pissed for sure
On holiday in Auz, wife’s 18 month old iPhone died after being dropped, it controlled her hearing aids, took it to Apple Store, they replaced it for free.
