Its all a Scam! - Before Replacing Your Phone Battery Watch This - Scams Explained

Ok

Take your time its okey ☺️

Great

hopefully it will be far easier to repair but knowing apple, i doubt it will.

They do. You can change iPhone battery without any problems. But people wants $10 replacements.

So then what would be the point of a warranty? Or should companies not offer warranties since you can repair your own device? Not everyone is tech savvy to repair their own devices. I know people who in 2021 had to be taught how to delete and move an app. Let alone open up their own device.

@@andrewilliams6367 warranties are still good, but the OPTION to repair it yourself if you have the skills is also a great thing to have. Having FULL FREEDOM to add or improve the device YOU bought with YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY, and having the option for a warranty, would be great in a perfect world. But this ain't a perfect world. :v

I Officially labeled you as a propagandist now for not saying the most obvious reason why cell phone manufacturers make their batteries impossible to access! If you pull out the battery then they cannot know your location even when your battery is dead it is still pinging location to the cell phone towers! They don't want you being able to pull out your battery and keep them from pinging your location! It's all about full spectrum domination FSD! I'm officially unsubscribing and blocking you it was so easy to say this and you didn't say it you are a propagandist!

Some are rechargeable with non user removable batteries. It's a scam. Same with electric vehicles. There is NO reason other than greed that the packs can't slide out like on industrial equipment, toy and model vehicles. The ONLY thing that will get their attention is the loss of money from people not buying their stupidity.

@@rarplayeddecks2710 thanks for letting us know bro appreciate it

@@is4c_ You're welcome. From 2027, manufacturers will all have to offer replaceable batteries, but unfortunately not if the batteries still have a remaining capacity of 83% after 500 charging cycles. This shouldn't be a problem for the manufacturers. So it probably won't have much of an impact, at least on smartphones.

It’s because they don’t want to be green but they want to appear green…

I've heard the EU are bringing in a law that forces smartphone/tablet manufacturers to use the same charging port to cut down on e-waste and to prevent people having to buy a new charger for each device they use. Not sure how Apple will deal with it as I'm assuming the EU will go with either micro-usb or USB-C.

What do you imagine happens when a smart TV updates its software?

@@MrHowardMoon It's USB-C and it passed. And Apple HAS to give a non proprietary option. As MagSafe is proprietary, and there is no wireless charging standard that everybody uses right now, Apple is FORCED to use USB-C ports on their new devices at around late 2023.

This is like EXCACTLY what the EU has decided in March this year. At least 10 years availability to repair and repair parts from day of release.

yeah. a law will fix it! lmao.

nice

2017 means the day the sticker was printed

@@apache1120 See, the Chinese DON'T lie about everything! lol

It’s not green to have people repair their phones. How do you make sure they will dispose of the parts correctly? No, only way is to remove all ports (Jack, lightning, etc) serialize parts so they don’t work outside their OG device, and then charge 75/80% of a new phone for any kind of repair. The world is save, thanks Apple!

@@Neonregenesis Aplle is such good of a seward to the environment that they conviniently forget to add a charger to your iPhone kit (knowing that many will buy unfit charger resulting in truncated battery lifespan, LOL).

You do understand ( or maybe you don't... ) that the trend is already to the contrary. In Britain they've already tried ( and maybe have by now ) made it an offense to make modifications to a motorcycle. Have you ever heard of the state named California? It's their more-strict restrictions on virtually everything ( except children selling their bodies on the street ) which have inexorably begun to spread like a cancer throughout other states. Either through their influence with their market-share of sales on manufacturers eager to lower inventories who just say "heck with it---make everything we make CaCompliant and pass on the costs" or through their unwitting emissaries who go to other states to escape the Californian regulatory/taxation excesses but in their new lodgings immediately insist that the Californian plugged-nose pig occasionally found some acorns and that's why you had Texans sitting in their barkaloungers succumbing to hypothermia because those "green" wind-turbines which work perfectly well in the California climate don't function when the temperatures go so low that you observe a type of snow you've never seen B4 in your whole 3score&7. This whole you-can't-because[fill-in-the-blank] cancer has long-ago metastacized. I don't think it's legal for me to effect a whole host of home repairs I've been doing all my life in the heart of the midwest unless I hire a licensed contractor to do them. I'm the guy who has sat there and watched licensed contractors "fix" things and then, when they weren't fixed fixed it myself and had the major appliance work longer afterward than it did to it's first mean-time-to-failure. But legally, i can't do that now. And it's not because the local taxing authority gives a rat's ass if I suffocate on CO or get electrocuted because my non-GFCI-protected outlet is too close to a faucet. It's because they believe this to be a way of forcing upgrades to real property improvements and keeping their tax base up. And what better way to destroy the element of self-reliant can-do HR nature of our unique national culture, eh? To hell with "great". Make America AmeriCAN Again. But don't hold your breath waiting for that to start appearing in campaign literature or signs. Not unless you find yourself to look particularly "fetching" in your cyanosis-blue birthday suit.

Same, it makes me sick how many broken stuff I had, always tried contacting the brand and never had luck with any company yet, they just say the regular blah blah blah thank you and we sell no parts... In my opinion almost every product should have been like cars where everything or at least almost everything is made to sell as parts, however they still sadly have the problem of costing a damn lot which suck.

Start by not buyng apple peoducts

@@UnipornFrumm Never bought and probably never will😎. They are really some of the most overpriced piece of garbage out there that just having that eaten Apple logo makes them charge pretty high while at least on most of their laptops they have many design flaws that keep breaking and apple continue to launch them with a ton of problems and they don't give a dam because they keep buying it👏💰💸

@@guily6669 and when they do brake there is no way to fix apple divices

@@rustyshackleford7200 it's not opinion it's everywhere... Apple is the company on the entire planet who charges far more for extra memory, they refuse to fix some devices and do not sell parts either and are against repairing. Their modern computers using intel and whatever known hardware would always end miles more expensive than the same specs from any brand without an eaten Apple logo and probably with their defective design fixed... They made so many defective designs and even blame the users... Then everyone pays a lot to them thinking they must at least pay well to workers that have all the proper conditions yet not many time ago apple workers in China wanted to commit mass suicide from the poor conditions and bad salary, apple "fixed it" and some time later a similar situation happened which mean they haven't fixed shit. Do I really need to buy a product with a eaten apple to know all of this? Ps: or is it that shitty Mac OS that is worth the extra BIG price difference? Because I don't want it not even 4 free, garbageware that look like it's made 4 kids and I hate their design, I hate the UI, I hate their icons...

@@XxUltimateGodzXx Yeah sure is.

Yahtzee!

@@ryansheen523 phone go boom lol

I want a Note 7 for my collection, that would be so funny to show off even without a battery installed

I still use my cheap old flip phone that I can easily swap out battery in seconds. I like this phone because it is NOT internet capable....I use an Android for internet. I do not store any identifiable personal info on it...never use it as a phone.

Phones today do have a good reason for being sealed though. That is, they’re IP68 water resistant and can survive a drop in the pool.

@@TylerN945 That doesnt matter, they could still make the battery easily removable and also have the phone be water tight ha

@@VashStarwind It certainly does matter. A phone with a removable back simply cannot have the water resistance that let’s say the iPhone 13 Pro max has. You need a strong water tight adhesive to get an IP68 rating for 6 meters up to 30 minutes. Besides, with all the software that apple implements into their phones, you can easily get a battery to last 3 years+ without noticing a significant decrease in the battery’s efficiency. $70 to change the battery at an apple store 3 years from purchasing an iPhone isn’t bad either. People usually upgrade their phones by then.

@@TylerN945 You sound like an apple employee lol

Yeah, that especially happens with low quality cameras.

That tonds to happon. a iot.

@@HeadsetGuy 🤣

The new iphone has only a 3000ma/h battery????

@@AndroidFerret So you have to recharge them more often and thus reduce the overall lifespan of the battery and the phone! Gotcha... have a bite of another apple! I have a Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro that meets US MilSpec for water resistance, drops, and heat (to certain limits, of course). But what's best: I can open the cover myself and replace the battery (I have two batteries). Phone will last years and years with the two batteries. It's a "business" phone, so the phone stores don't have it "in stock" for "average American" consumers, and it's half the price of the $1000-plus phones they want to sell you (and that they just happen to have in stock), so I order my phones directly from Samsung. AT&T online order price for a locked phone: $510 and a $30 setup fee; Samsung direct price (where I actually ordered the phone): $424 (set it up myself and saved $30 ripoff fee!). Samsung direct phone is also unlocked. What a bargain! Phone works great.

almost true. they dont make extras for sale so its out of a doa fone like from a carrier. most parts are stripped carrier returns that are icloud or google locked . otherwise somebody reverse engineers and makes the parts. takes about 6months to get a good working aftermarket part. in some cases the aftermarket part is better because its newer tech and not ripped out of a dead fone

@@bermyvlogger Apple makes extra batteries for sale to Authorized Repair Centers and Authorized Service Providers. How these would make it into the hands of other people I'm not sure but I've personally swapped out an iPhone 7 battery for one with a manufacturer date of 2020

Didn't Apple also have EXPLODING laptops a while back?

Wow!

Oh.

Couldn't have said it better myself

The phone smoked the competition.

I really wanted that phone when it releases till I found out it went kaboom

Samsung really "exploded" the market with that phone

Such a heated statement, watch the comment section blow up.

This is even more sad considering they actually did sell original ones. At least the one I got was. Behaved just like new on day one and degraded just as quickly as the one the phone shipped with, going from one charge every two days to 30% at the end of the day in about 30 months.

Order from Taiwan or Hong Kong and your chances are much better to recive what you paid for, maybe Ameica will get off their DUFF and start manufaturing again, OH I forgot their are few if any left in our country that have the required knowledge to make anything of old country standards when we were very near the number one in the World. Thank GOD Japan is still around to supply us with first class quality and South Korea seems to make decent products as well.

Original battery worked for 5 years in my iPhone 5s, then each new one worked about a year. One worked for several months before making phone scorching hot when discharged. I’d say it is impossible to find a good one, so now I’m going to replace my devices as soon as battery degrades😾

I saw a cartoon where the printer's assistant told his boss "You only told me to proofread it...you didn't say anything about correcting it".

It's a sacrifice for water resistance I think

@@augustuslunasol10thapostle No, it's so you have to open the phone through the screen, significantly increasing the chance you will damage it.

@@venturoes1912 dude that's fucking stupid no company designed a phone to be opened through the screen even now in the time of phones being a bitch to open you still do it from the back

@@augustuslunasol10thapostle ever opened an iPhone 6s?

@@augustuslunasol10thapostle Try about any Samsung the past few years, pry the screen off without breaking it then remove the frame screws holding frame to the back. I recommend removing the motherboard from the frame one the back is removed then you can wrestle with the adhesive holding the battery to the frame. Might want to test the capacity of your replacement battery, it might be weaker than the used original.

Companys will argue with - it looks ugly - its not waterproof then And Tbh. Otherwise the phones will die because they fall in water

@@feuerherz007 have them explain phones without the removable battery OR water resistance

@@feuerherz007 most right to repair supporters say you can have an internal battery, but at least sell the genuine battery or allow suppliers to sell them

I dont have a problem with glued backs,its not that hard to remove if you are carefull,but i m for right to repair,we should be able to buy the battery and glue template from the manufacturer and other conponents,or at least have them avalable for repair shops

Sony has had several major recalls because of flawed battery engineering and failed Quality Control and probably no field testing? What is it about corporations, are they to cheap to set up Quality Control or did they figure the consumers would find the problems with their failed products and someone elses expense? Next, explosions like commercial aircraft and Laptops???

To clarify the Audience, that'd be the OVERSTUFFED one (it almost didn't fit the cavity it supposed to go inside) they sold originally. There is a narrower (less capacity) one offered in the Fan Edition of the Note 7 sold in some countries after the debacle to get rid of the remaining components.

And cheaper in the manufacturing process on the way as well...

its harder to replace only because of water proofing, not to intentionally make you struggle. they probably sold more phones due to water damage than battery issues.

Scammers and big tech companies

@@ralphal7022 what's the difference?

Scammers arise when the real villian prevents you from using genuine parts

@@nayutakani2055 nah scammers just appear out of thin air when a new product comes out

They also give hope when company don't provide spare parts

True, back then even if it's non-original and don't have as much capacity as it claimed at least you know you can replace it less than 10 second, I always carry a spare just in case. Kinda sad when closest thing we got to these is either $1300 Fairphone or $130 HMD Nokia G22(which won't even worth fixing once the battery goes bad in 3-5 year) and as you said the battery can only be brought from the manufacturers.

Sadly it also means that it gives Apple/Samsung etc the reason to lock their hardware so things can't easily be replaced without issues. They can now justify it's the only way to know you're getting genuine safe spare parts...only from them of course.

@@Dedubya- To be fair you can also argue that the only reason why they are buying batteries from third party companies is because they can't buy it from the companies themselves.

No an uncalibrated chip could never lead to an explosion. These old cells could barely make your hands warm when you short out the bare cell.

@@12voltvids nah. Replaceable batteries aren't missing me that much. Besides that, the key secret to battery longevity is to use not one but more than one phone. I didn't know that until I found out that I didn't need to charge my galaxy j7 every day. I don't use flagship so, I prefer to use more than 1 budget phone. After 5 years of moderate use, I found out that my galaxy j7 battery which is a typical 3000 mah battery hasn't depleted and I still could get 2 days of use like when it was new. Batteries do deplete in one way or another but I found out how to use a phone much more longer without battery replacement, same thing for my older Redmi note 3, no battery depletion either. But sign of times, I replaced them by a Samsung galaxy a12, a redmi 9 prime, a Nokia G10 and a OPPO a53, which comes respectively with batteries of 5000 mah capacity. These devices are cheap and pack some decent ram and USB c, so why not. These phones I have right now could hold a full week and there's juice still left. So more phones, less battery cycles

True, but the multinationals, phone or other, won't allow you as a consumer to buy original parts in general. In the watch industry, for example, ( yes you Seiko-Epson) it is just as bad. And the Chinese, they are masters of fake products!

or as some say 'a pig in a poke ' ,

When I buy replacement parts, I look for "factory OEM" on the package. NOT, "direct replacement" or "direct fit"! You are going to pay more for the "OEM" part, but believe me, in the long run IT IS WORTH IT!!!!

Those "tube testers" could only be trusted if the meter indicated "BAD" . Just because you got a "GOOD" reading did not mean the tube was good. The only real way to test a "GOOD" tube was by substituting a KNOWN good tube!

@@TheOzthewiz Thanks for responding to my post. Are you sharing what you have experienced or what you have read? In my case it was actual experience repairing radios, TVs, and one HP VTVM. In many cases the heater would go open and the tube would not glow when it was in circuit and was usually bad. If the tube was glowing it could still be bad and the tube tester gave some more information. In my experience in about 95% of the cases replacing a tube that tested bad caused the device to return to operation. In less than 1 case in 20 all tubes would test good but the device still wouldn't work properly. In those cases the quick tube test was just the beginning of the adventure.

When a replacement battery is £79 and the phone only cost £100. Sometimes it’s best to take your chances, do your research and get a battery from a reputable company, just not the manufacturer.

This works for Apple phones because of the HIGH replacement cost for a new phone. For those of US with lesser means who buy $200 Android phones, professional service doesn't make economic sense! So, we are stuck with buying "a pig in the poke" batteries!
