This Is How Apple Fixes Its Phones - Tearing Down Apple's Display Opener 

You just need apple's repair machine to repair this repair machine.

@Josh Opray and apples repair machine to repair the machine that repairs the repair machine.

Now my thumb hurts as I took 30 minutes to do this.

Repairing screwdrivers

The cult that hates it's god a bit.

Like what mine is doing or something else?

​@@toadster40 wait a minute a heating press can overheat and brick itself? isnt that the one thing it should be protected against?

​@@toadster40 that would be like a 3D printer that just totally burns the filament even if you set the heat to minimum

same here, our Precinct stays beefing with our heat press lol

I’ve never had mine fail like that contact CSS or make an escalation they will replace the unit. But don’t get me started on the AirPod testing suite fml

Not really. U can find documentation about literally everything in GSX2 and in ATLAS

I wonder if it fails as often as McDonalds Ice Cream soft serve machines?

That’s the smartphone industry for you look at Samsung too🤦‍♂️

Most manufacturers do this glue and clip thing as it speeds up assembly time and reduces cost

@@djashjones Not All

@@vanhuvanhuvese2738 ok, changed it to most.

I do wish that people would stop buying phones from Apple, Samsung, etc who have these anti-consumer, anti-environment approaches, instead buy from companies such as Fairphone. iFixit has a repairability page which ranks the most popular phones. Easily replaceable batteries are also essential.

Engineers were paid to make many things worse for the sake of planne obsolesence, you need to than capitalism for it in the end and not the engineer.

I think that's just a fact at this point.

@@GareWorks yes

I can imagine one of the next iPhones being a sealed-shut glass capsule, phone shaped, the only way to access into being to shatter the screen with 500 bucks worth of repairs to get a new enclosure and seal it back. And, like, touch everywhere, and no physical ports outside

@@ShitHappensRLYthey made it more repairable last year tho…

The touchscreen looks like a nextion display to me

@@mishaproduction For me too. It uses UART as there a only 4 wires. VCC GND TXD RXD

@@MyszkoServe the uart protocol that nextion uses is really simple. It's just directly setting commands to the device. Example: vis thelabel,1 (to make thelabel visible)

would probably start at a base price of 3 grand plus 1.5k each for attachments and 500 just for the power plug 🤣

and requires three semi-trailers, a police escort, a backup driver crew, a hydroline lift crew as it passes under. You also need to notify the FAA and notify the CIA of transport of encrypted material across state borders!

i did this, removed a security bit screw with a flathead....well made it non security bit anyhow

Wait, you have to pay for a display? Wouldn't touch it then without the machine.

It failed at the design stage...

@@edwardfletcher7790 true enough

the firmware is outdated, he needs to update the firmware so the tool knows which iPhone it is.

Or if not then send it to one of the many RU-vid electronics repairers. I would have initially suggested the excellent 'Mend It Mark' but as he's in the UK that may not be practical. Another great repairer is 'Defpom's Electronics Repair' and he is based in New Zealand so that's much closer to Hugh.

@@speckbomber7219 The fact an Apple hotplate uses firmware & RFID rather than a 0-5 min timer tells you all you need to know about Apple....SIGH

Your commentary shows you barely seem to have even the most primitive, cursory understanding of Apple.

What's the bet the individual phone repair manuals are only available as a subscription service ?

$100 a year for an upgrade to this thing is nothing for a business using this thing all the time

@@Fireclaws10 Your didn't listen, it's $100 per model !

That's 300 USD a year, 400 if they release an SE.

@@edwardfletcher7790 ok? that's pretty tiny for a business expense

Now anyone can be a genius (genius bar technician that is.)

Those Genius "experts" would destroy your phone without these tools. 💀

@@_modiX only because apple doesn't care enough to train them when they can just make tools to make the process not dependant on the technician.

Duh! Why do you think MacDonalds designed and manufactured THEIR OWN bespoke equipment for the production of their food, and the most efficient use of space in their kitchens? A brand thrives or dies on known quantities; repeatability and uniformity. You must be new to processes and understanding mass production and repair. (see “time and motion study”)

Its connected to the power supply "on-off" switch. The unit wont even light up without it in the right position.

@@HughJeffreys Did you check the Switch thats being pressed by the sled ?

@@HughJeffreys no worries at all Hugh, it was just a thought.

1:22 he released it here

@@HETyoutubekanaal thanks for pointing this out, somehow I missed it.

Soviet-era equipment is lasting longer than the soviet union did. This piece of junk lasts shorter than a US presidency

What on earth are you talking about? Talking for the sake of doing so doesn’t guarantee wisdom will come out.

Heating elements are not a direct 0Ω short, they're just some oversized resistors, somewhere around 80Ω

I was working at a company using a similar display for our equipment and there was no good reason we couldn't display useful error messages. The reason (not a good one) was we were using an off the shelf piece of hardware and didn't have people to write code to display a useful message. Apple, on the other hand, could have just stuck a phone on the side with the manual built in.

It also seemed to me that the torx bit he used was significantly too small even had it been standard.

Clearly. 😏

I almost don't feel annoyed anymore because we're just that... consumers.

@@Kizarat we aren’t even classified as humans we are basically money banks

@@ryanturner9935 Pretty much lol.

I think it's safe to say that it's over-engineered with a view to making Apple even more money by selling iPhone hot pockets and some kind of service contract. Apple is such a horrendous company, I wish people would stop buying their anti-consumer, environmentally unfriendly tat.

I'd jsut put in a raspberry Pi or an Arduino and replace the boards completely. A few lkines of code and your good to go. It would be interesting to dump the ROM's and see what hte code actually does!

There's no reason to get a tool like this in the first place, it's way too unnecessarily advanced for what it should be

I was thinking that too, although I guess the main unit is governing the heat level? Even so, it should be possible.
