His last statement, "If I had the schematics, I could keep thousands of iPhones out of landfills and save customers thousands of dollars on phones" is exactly why Apple and other companies don't want us to repair our devices ourselves.
They don't even want their "authorized repair dealers" to be able to fix them. Many will diagnose the problem and then say it can't be repaired without huge expenses vs purchasing a new unit. This happens for even the most basic and simple repairs beyond a new screen being replaced and a huge expense as well.
I love how their best defense against right to repair is “you will hurt yourself”. Ok. Let me hurt myself repairing my devices please. That is a acceptable risk and I dissolve the company of any risk.
@@magnesjberg24 it is a lot more dangerous because there are many risks involved with fixing cars. The high risk from phones is a good electric shock that can hurt you

@@eddymartin But they just won't. Devices have been failing (and repaired) forever. The difference now is that modern manufacturers have realized that they don't have to allow them to be fixed and can make more money by selling new ones instead. It'll take more than devices continuing to break to make people wake up.
"Right to repair" even being a topic of debate is absolutely insane. Once you buy it, it's yours....... how is this not just an assumed? Society is mind boggling.
That is exactly what companys hate. They would rather make you Rent Something so you have to constantly pay and wont ever own anything.(Just Like with housing) Even Most Software,be it Games or practical aplications are Not realy "owned" by the buyer, the buyer Just "gets the right to Download it", so If the companys ever goes down you can say Bey Bey to all These softwares(or at least you wont be abled to Install them again)
@@yulfine1688 Capitalism is good at one thing and one thing only: making a profit. It doesn't care about people. Capitalists certainly do not, because if they did, they'd be making less (paying workers what they're worth, actually giving ownership of a product to the customers, etc.), and they would be bad capitalist, as this system dictates. How is this move (by Apple, the final boss of capitalism), not a capitalism issue?
"I would be able to keep hundreds more devices out of the land fill, and keep consumers from having to spend thousands of dollars on new devices."; and, therein lies the problem.
Good point, but at least in ny e-waste counts as a seperate type of recycling ( by law) and has its own process for recycling it. Pretty much they get gutted for their precious metals.

I find Apple's whole "unsafe to replace batteries" argument absolutely ridiculous. It wasn't that long ago that an openable battery cover was a standard feature on most phones, so that you could replace it without needing to open up the entire phone. Samsung even managed to do this while having the phone be water resistant on the Galaxy S 5.
@@CamJam312 My backup phone, a Sony Ericsson K810i, has probably needed two new batteries since I first got it. In 2008. And that thing has been in use on a fairly regular basis.
Watched/commenting from my Galaxy Note 4. I've replaced the battery 5 or 6 times and it's still going fine, so I haven't needed a new phone. It's easier than changing the AA batteries in a TV remote.
@@PrettyGuardian since normies are starting using electronic devices they don't care about repair that's why we are in this situation, now we just buy phones and throw them if something is wrong just 2 years latrr
@@DrummerJacob Profiting off something new is very different to replacing a failed component so the life of the unit is extended. This is like saying a mechanic is not allowed to change the brake pads of your car and it can only be done by a X garage, or you can buy a new car. When a phone now can cost upwards of $1000 (value of some motor vechiles) I am dam sure that I want it to last as long as possible and things that are expected to break (battery, screen, button's etc) should be available for replacement, like a windscreen, brake pads, batteries in your car.

@Michael Smith the problem is that Apple is allowed to conduct business in such a predatory manner. That is also the problem with so many companies, all over the world. If every company acted like this, all the poor would start starving in highly developed countries.
They do. Why are you telling people to imagine things that have been happening for awhile now? Beyond that, whats with this new trend of everyone telling everyone to "imagine" things? We get it, you want to give your opinion so do that. Use your words instead of sarcastically telling people to imagine things they dont even need to imagine.
"Keep old electronic out of landfills" is probably one of the better arguments. The absolute best argument is, "can you fill your politicians pockets with more money than the lobbyists can?"
The money argument is that monopolies and oligopolies tend to stagnate economy quite quickly. But that’s a long term argument and one politicians don’t care about either.
@@adamlynch9153 They don't care because like most people they know Global Warming is a hoax aka Climate Change, the rest though about pollution and lack of resources is a problem and they know.

Nimras AKA Wipeout uh ok listen. There’s something you must know. Factually the global temperature average has gone up over the last 30 years. So the climate has changed and the globe has warmed. But we’re talking less that 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit. And it’s likely to go back down. Now An área in which I think you and I will agree is that humans did not/cannot affect the temperature on such a magnitude even if they wanted to. The temperature has changed a bit slightly up and down for billions of years we are just on an up. It hasn’t drastically changed since the ice age. So there is a hoax yes. What’s more likely? The earth drastically changing all of the sudden after remaining at a consistent temperature for thousands of years. Or A human lied to another human in order to profit. I’m going with the second one

if anyone ever has mic trouble during a hearing just say "I could fix that for you, but only with right to repair" then I think they will get the point.
The only *honest* argument that opposition can make; “We make less money when people can just repair their existing phones instead of buying new ones every year”.
I'm pretty sure that's actually been publicly stated by Apple themselves on a few occasions, but they always try to follow up with a quick, "BUT THAT'S NOT WHY THO!" Bottom line is, Apple is a scummy company and nobody should buy their inferior shit. They are unethical hypocrites who are selling a brand name instead of quality products. They use questionable means of production and manufacturing and do everything in their utmost ability to limit and and tear down small repair shops. Absolute scum who should be cancelled.

@@playtester6635 to further the point when every large, global, corporate company does this, regardless of industry. EVERYTHING is becoming disposable and a “product as a service”. It’s ALL about making the most money. It’s broke? Oh just buy a new one, cause that’s how we designed it…that’s how everything is designed now..
Seems so; but I'm wondering, don't the local governments (in Md. each county has a recycle service/program) make some bucks off e-waste? It does contain some valuable rare-earth elements, after all. This could turn that landfill reminder from a plus to a minus for the bill, in the eyes of the legislators. Fred
@@ffggddss I'm not sure, I'd presume that it's so miniscule that it wouldn't factor into it. Legislators would rather see lots of small businesses making good money and more tax revenue than make some pennies off e waste
the problem with that argument is that it's too easily debunked. Apple could claim claim something like "95% of all phones are eventually recycled" or something like that. That could realistically be true, taking away from the weight of the argument. The "safety for consumers" seems to be the weak point in the Apple argument.
@@alexc3504 Yes, I wasn't pitting recycling against landfill; I was merely pointing out that, with e-waste recycling already in effect in Maryland, legislators might be drawn toward the $ their counties can make from it. Fred
apple will always try to rip off and scam customers with worse and hidious ways, i hope apple users will see how dirty apple really is, they make an iphone 11 for 300€ and ask over 1000€ for it, meanwhile oneplus makes their phones for 600-700€ and only ask 750€, squashing apple in all aspects
Source code should be open too. Any argument you make for right to repair can be applied to source code. The only intellectual property that should be allowed to be a thing in the world of tech is art. Like 3d models, graphics, game maps etc.

Kids have been swapping the same lithium chemistry batteries in and out of RC cars and Planes for years. Dont light it on fire or drive a nail through it, and you're fine. If the battery has degraded to the point where just handling it is dangerous, your phone is already on fire.

The politicians in that room are smart, its just the politicians job is to help the corporations make more millions because these corporations donate to the Democrat party and fund Democrat approved projects. The politicians don't care about the enviromnment, they don't even want to fix the problems they talk about, their only goal is to raise enough awareness bout certain issues to make it seem like they are tryign to fix the problem, but do so in such a convulated way that makes no sense so that they can claim they are doing their best when in reality their job isn't even to try.

I'm an Electronics Engineer and modern stuff is NOT DFR (designed for repair). It is designed for PROFIT with a carefully calculated lifespan after which it most likely dies, forcing you to buy another more modern model (because you can't get spares from a manufacturer) or buy another hoping you can salvage parts (assuming it isn't a common failure mode) or dump it in landfill and help screw up the planet.

The recycled % information most manufactured products is complete crap as they are referring to pre-consumer recycled materials. AKA, saving scrap material from a manufacturing process, sending it back to the material supplier for a discount on their bill so the supplier can take and produce 100% recycled materials and sell them again. Most e-waste recycling centers are only abile to recycle a small % of the products as melting down and extracting materials is much more expensive than most of the materials captured.

I have a gimpy hot water heater. The landlord's repair guys would take up to 4 business days leaving me with cold water the entire time to spend 5 minutes resetting it. They informed me, "I can never do that." After the 3rd time of this happening I double checked online how to do this and quietly reset it, safely. They never paid me to stay at a hotel or let me use their shower when mine was all cold water. I'm amazed with the people in comment sections (not this one, but many) who say, "Only a professional can fix that product." Most people with common sense and a tutorial can fix most things in life. (I'm not talking about cardiac surgery, here)
@Common Sense Realist The whole principle behind Patent and Copyright law is that there should be full disclosure. You are granted a monopoly for a period of time, after which it enters the public domain. This is intended to encourage innovation. If these companies keep their methods private, they should not be allowed to use the courts to enforce intellectual property rights. If you read the debates of the Westminster parliament on this topic when the system was being set up in the UK, this becomes clear. Other countries followed the UK's lead.
Easy it's called corporatism where the governments and big companies pay each other off etc benefits etc to make money. Its just greed. Very common to how China runs their companies.
Its not rocket science to know why they dont want others to repair their products. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ most of the apple repair estimates are so large people just buy a new phone. you would be sticking your hand into apples wallet and they will never let you do that .
Apples will sell you a product for 6x or more then what it cost to manufacture, then they still charge you more then the cost to manufacture for repairs. Either way, they make money off the flock no matter what.
@@DownandOutNYC - While greed is definitely their motivation for not wanting people to repair their products, your point about them selling items "for 6x or more then [sic] what it cost [sic] to manufacture..." is just dumb and completely irrelevant. Cost of manufacture has NOTHING to do with shit. Nor should it be a point against their retail sale price.
Which is the point as the profit margins on new phones is ridiculous considering they use what can only be described as slave labor to make them for pennies on the dollar then sell them for $1000+. They only real expense is the materials and shipping the final product.

I’m an ASE certified auto mechanic and have been doing electrical diagnostic work for years. I’m right there with you. Nothing is more frustrating than being told you can’t have a schematic and have to buy a $2000 module which is on back order (because it’s faulty) and end up having to spend hours tracking down a badly soldered (from factory) board or connection which would have only taken a few minutes to isolate with the diagram and taken a few cents to fix. It’s absolutely infuriating when they’re the ones that sent it to you in the first place because they couldn’t figure it out (always a German manufacturer for some reason). SPRINTER VANS ARE HELL. But I’m not bitter...
Cummins Diesel engine manufacturer makes you purchase a contract to do repairs on their engines. You must purchase your own laptop and when you purchase their diagnostic program they send you the program and attachment cables and give you a password to your computer to get into the program. It last for one year and then shuts down. You must continue to buy from them if you want the diagnostic information. No more buying a scan tool. And if you think that you can copy it from another computer don't. The program will install but you can't access it. Each password is for a single computer, I know, we tried. As for apple saying its proprietary is bullshit, they would make a ton of money doing what Cummins does and licensing the repair program and selling it. All diesel engines companies are doing this now, it is a billion dollar business. And diesel engines and trucks are far more important than a fucking phone. I've never in my life seen a generation of kids so dumb down because of this social media crap.

Love the face that he brought in a copy of schematics from an appliance that the company included with it unlike all these "high end" items. I mean who knew that some companies don't consider them super secret burn after reading...
Bosch is a german company known for fairly good quality (if you have a car, chances are there are quite a few of their products in it). They don't expect their products to fail due to normal use, so they don't expect you to actually need the schematics unless something really bad happens, like a rat chewing through the cables. :)

@@MaximC "When you realize you are dealing with just a corrupt system", that's such a close minded statement. The reason right to repair is so controversial is that you'd essentially be forcing companies to hand over schematics, in some cases, forcing them to sell proprietary chips, etc. I'm not really for or against right to repair because I could see how consumers would be pissed, but I also see the argument of forcing companies to hand over intellectual property or sell replacement parts for intellectual property, in a free country, is also a valid argument.
Last Friday an Executive Order was signed that includes a provision directing the Federal Trade Commission to issue rules preventing manufacturers from imposing restrictions on independent device repair shops and DIY repairs.

I can't believe the sheep just keep throwing their hard earned cash at apple and for no other reason than vanity. There is NOTHING an iPhone can do that any other smart phone can't, except other smart phones can swap files with each other and use each others chargers, yet somehow these apple fans keep insisting their shit is better. Please explain HOW?
Pretty sure more people own Android phones, so who are the sheep these days? I tried Android once and didn’t last a year, the apps were subpar and the Google Pixel 2 XL was glitchy on a daily basis. Apple just works seamlessly and intuitively, things that needed an unnecessary number of steps on Android, just take a minimal amount in iOS. Yes there were features I loved on the Pixel but ultimately convenience won me back not to mention the premium design that Apple leads.
And yet our poloticians are excepting the claim they must be apple certified to ignore the monopoly you express. They ignire that the monopoly is in apple approval not in anything real.
As a kid in the local radio shack testing TV tubes with my dad. Seeing the diode and resistors drawers, the soldering irons and tiny tool of all sorts. I thought kids like me were gone. I stand corrected. That kids has it all.
exactly, opening up electronics and looking whats inside was a sign of curiosity, something we encouraged kids to have. to learn stuff by themselves, to be interested in stuff, to innovate in the future.
That was an amazing testimony. I like the schematic with the Bosch dish washer. I don’t disagree with someone that does not know how to read schematics they might hurt themselves but most people that don’t know or have knowledge rarely open up something to try and fix themselves
Thing is with any device you might hurt your self, kill your self or damage the device, IF you dont look into it properly and understand how it operates. Everyone needs to learn least the basics of operation to operate device safely and thats why there is owners manual with the device, explaining how to operates. Adding electronic schematics and explosion view of mechanical systems to understand how its assembled to be taken apart makes things much easier and is in the sense extension of understanding how it works. Sure electronics are bit different skill set than using the device, but you can learn electronics and hence understand the device just as good as the engineer who design it, if you really want to and make repairs possibly even better and safer than said engineer could, with past experiences with other makes and models. For dish washer anecdote pulling washer out and inspecting wiring while its unplugged and some time has passed to let capacitors drain is something anyone can do, same as replacing them. If issue is not the wires you can delve deeper or hire 3rd party to take a look and figure the fault. Repairing it another hand comes impossible if spare parts cannot be bought and figuring out how the device works, that would been easy from schematics, now takes hours, making it unpractical except those who find people with experience apple products with known fault points and can quickly find it, or have made their own reverse engineered schematics before hand to be serve customers better, despite company trying to sabotage 3rd party repair, to force people to buy new devices. I barely know nothing about main voltage devices, thats why i approach faults carefully, using extension cords with on/off switch, never grab anything where shock would force hand to close and keep electrocuting me and always work with the devices internals when its unplugged and capacitors drained. Basic level stuff and precautions. This way i have been able to fix multitude of appliances and those what i have not been able to, easy solution is to out source that to someone who does. Just got free video projector. It worked first day, but next day there was a sharp snap and after opening it rectifier had blown to peaces. I collected the peaces, solved the puzzle to get correct parts number, got the part, soldered in place and now it will last long as the bulb will. Total repair cost 2 hours of my time and 25€ rectifier what is kinda steep price for single component, but not bad price for projector that had barely used bulb.
Following you from Vienna. Love what you doing ! Thx a lot for your dedication. Some months ago, I decided to fix my noisy Samsung washing machine. I had a technician coming in. He found the problem within 10 minutes. The pump bearings of 1 of the 2 pumps was rattling. I told him: "I wanna fix that of my own, just send me the part". He was fine with that, we had a fine chat about washing machines and he gave me some tipps how to open up the machine and what to watch out for. A week later I got the part, just paying for the part. No working time, no transportation cost, niente. I opened up the thing like he told me. In the process I learned a lot. Some narrow hoses were cogged up with gunk. I replaced the part. Hell yeah, what a feeling! Everytings fine eversince. Sure enough, next time I try to order that part directly from the manufacturer and spend even less. If that is possible, I kinda think they only sell to authorized technicians... We will see. Thanx for reading ;)
Not sure where you live, but there's a shop down the street from me called Appliance Parts Depot. They'll sell any part for any appliance to anybody at any time - you just have to know the parr you need and have the money to pay for it. If you don't have such a store nearby, I'm sure you could find any part you need online.
Well done sir I’m a Maryland man and it makes proud to know we have young men like you in our state that not only is well educated well spoken and respectful but is not afraid to stand up to make sure right is right and those that are wrong get told y …….ty
My refrigerator repair guy quoted me 500 dollars to fix my fridge. I got the part myself and told him I would fix it myself. He told me it wasn't that simple. You have to reboot the computer to get it to work. I called the place I got the part from and asked them how to reboot it. They said plug it in! That dude wanted to charge me 500 dollars for a 100 dollar part and the privilege of plugging it in 🤣
Similar with my car. An ABS sensor failed. Dealership repair quote: £450 Independent repair quote: £200 ODB2 port WiFi adapter: £10 Manufacturer phone fault code app £5 Sensor: £18 30-40 mins of my time (using software, determining which sensor broke & replacing said sensor) Total £33. The current car industry is mandated by international laws to install and use Obd2 protocols so that independent garages and even owners can repair their own vehicles. Why should the electronics industry be any different
You're missing the point. He doesn't "know more" than the people he's arguing against. Those people know exactly what they're doing. The company wants people to buy new phones because they cost more. It's about money and it always will be while these corporate giants have the politicians in their pocket.
who doesn't want to keep electronics out of land fills. I mean I have heard these smartphones end up leaking unsafe chemicals. that thing with the schematics is right on, we used to get them for all electronics back in the day when companies wanted their consumers to be well informed about the products.
Now now, remember the chemicals are only "unsafe", because the EPA (under the current administration) just haven't gotten around to removing them from the list of unsafe chemicals yet... soon these chemicals can be "safely" used in everything from baby-toys to baby-food!
most phones and appliances are recycled. try putting a tv, vcr, or microwave out for the trash man, he will leave it there. in my state it illegal to dispose of electronic items in the trash/landfill. i'm not saying it doesn't happen. but there are literally 1000's of other chemicals in those land fills. AND land filles are LINED, they have a liner put in before any trash ever gets placed and all water is collected and filtered. phones are valuable and often sold to recyclers.
I took an electronics class in high school back in the 70s. It introduced me to a local repair supply store where I could go to and purchase the schematics of almost anything - they had many in stock - including the one I used to repair a broken TV in my class. That's how I ended up with my own TV in my bedroom. The electronics teacher let me take it home - the program was unfunded and disbanded. >:-< It was a black and white model with a sheet metal case, and about a 23cm picture tube. Fairly heavy.
It's not about the companies wanting their customers to be well informed. It's up to government to make manuals and service manuals mandatory to consumers for buying products. Especially apple ( bloody crooks charging $1500 for a damn phone)
