What It Takes To Repair The iPhone 14 Pro Will Anger You - iPhone 14 Pro Max Restoration 

Apple's customers deserve Apple products

@@fabricliverthis phone definitely belonged to a teenager who didn’t appreciate what they had.

​@@w3lcom39 there's no way of knowing that. How presumptuous

​@@w3lcom39aren't they all that? Everyone that buys an apple product has no clue.

iPhones mostly suck at repair, if you take care of the device it can last for years.​@@User-NES69P4Pi

No, were not responsible at all. Us wanting a new phone is completely unrelated to them making it impossible to repair. Planned and forced obsolescence are for the situation sin which you are made tonupgrade even if you didn’t want to. This is a really dumb comment

Every so often I look at my (proportionally) many years old stuff, and think it's time to finally upgrade. Then I watch these videos, and look at the stuff I have proudly. Kind of a mix of rebellious and just plain being cheap, but I don't think I'll be changing my ways the more I see how stuff is heading towards. I might be one in a million, probably not but even if, there's at least 8 thousand alike out there. Might not send the message to the manufacturers, but it does send the message to my own wallet.

Wanting to upgrade a device shouldn't be equated to how companies are behaving. They behave that way because the consumers feel the need to show off with the latest and greatest, it's different than wanting to upgrade to something because you want better performance.

@@Kalvinjj I’m keeping my iPhone 11 after watching this. Every manufacturer makes this impossible to repair junk.

@@charlesrodriguez7984 well what do you want them to do? If companies didn’t try to over complicate things we wouldn’t have 3 cameras, we wouldn’t have so many sensors on our phones… Cars are safer than ever because companies overcomplicate them with technology that is useful..

People vote with their wallets and unfortunately they said they're perfectly fine with paying the highest price for this. If we all cared about repairabilty as much we was clamor online we'd all be using a Fair Phone, but I'm not using that and I'm pretty sure you aren't either.

​@@deleqtronica8733 sadly it's hard to find phones other than Apple and Samsung. They have a monopoly, biopoly? And it's a headache to order phones online. I had my mint condition Alpha Sapphire bent to hell and back by Posti. Don't want to imagine how they'd handle something like a phone

@@deleqtronica8733 its no surprise how repairability is a low priority.since many components have to be stored extremely tight together to increase the display size and repairability is very hard to increase on a phone without increasing the thickness we all are used to.and even if we accept how this is gonna work,its gonna be more expensive

At least now you know why their phones are so expensive. They have to pay for the R&D cost of making the phone as difficult to repair as possible.

​​@@deleqtronica8733I would consider a fairphone if it wouldn't have: a subpar cpu, camera that are both beaten by 2020 flagships like and especially for 700€, 2020 flagships are like 400$ max

Over 4 hours for a professional is mad. Transplanting everything to a new case when i dropped my Redmi 5, years ago, took maybe 40 minutes and i never had opened a phone before.

This is why im glad have the iphone 12 mini. Because the newer the iphone the worse it gets

I used to repair my 4S myself, it took a very long time to disassemble and assemble and ended up with the new screen flex cable being too short 😢

@@Psi-Stormmy iPad took an hour to repair, it’s an old model tho

​@@drncsddmk8798 - The iphone 4 series had a really bad design for repairing the screen, requiring a complete disassembly of the entire phone including the main board. Newer iPhone screens are easier to replace, but Apple f*cked it up with a bunch of software checks/errors and crippling certain functions. smh

stop saying the word sir because it is gross and has no place in modern vocabulary

​@@KoopaKid660 are you ok sir? You seem a little lost

@@KoopaKid660 ok sir

I wonder if the people who work in the factories assembling iPhones feel the same way about these devices.

​@@KoopaKid660 I'm afraid I cannot, sir.

He is a mechanic of the smartphone world. There is a guy who will swap chips in the display to remove that error message both for cameras and display error message. Reballs the chips and swaps them out. A micro tech savant.

Wait I thought it took him 19:10?

@@der_dude1425 🤦

The best part was when he butchered the phone and destroyed a ton of components.

​@@Rokmononov yeah, he butchered a phone that's already butchered from the very beginning.. lmao

They probably skip steps, which causes an unprofessional repair. But you cannot really blame them...

@@HughJeffreys My bet is they just stick with pre-assembled modules. Back module including all the magnets installed, buttons, meshes and so on, and you just drop the boards, battery and such in place. Hence the price: you'll be paying for man-hours or part price, it's gonna be expensive regardless, so trade man-hours for parts, and the technician moves on quicker.

Easy solution: Never use 3rd party repair 😊

@@SlyCooperRN That's what Apple wants you to do. They want you to just buy a new Iphone

@@IdeasAreBulletproof If that were the case then they wouldn’t offer AppleCare+ 😁

Sounds like a you issue I love my iPhone you don’t like it go build your own damn phone clown

Apple is such an absolutely shitty company, it's both anti-consumer and anti-environment because it creates such a huge amount of waste.

They only care about making money…

well, to be honest - they made phone not to be repaired.... by anyone else but Apple. Yes, complicated and hard, but possible until you reach software point. All that unlike Microsoft with their Surface pro tablets, which are unrepairable BY DESIGN

I don't think the hardware crew designed it to be unrepairable. Only the software / firmware engineers. It definitely was not meant be be easily repairable. What surprises me is that so many parts are very expensive to assemble. And usually mass-market devices like iPhones are designed to make assembly easier to save time and money+get them produced as fast as possible.

To buy confidence and ego which they don't have have themselves. (for some reason you are cool and have status if you have an Apple product)

you got the plebs who have to work harder and the patricians who have to work smarter

another thing he and a surgeon have in common (get it?) ;)

I think software locks and complex repairs are a good thing at least for the second hand market as people can buy a used iPhone without worrying much that it has replaced or third party replacement parts.

@@brajeshkumarnaik1 lmao

@@brajeshkumarnaik1 true, being able to tell the history of the phone is great. The issue is when there is no way to buy an official part, or that you lose features for no apparent reason. A simple notification would be enough

​@@brajeshkumarnaik1 Hot take

Most of technicians don't return the mesh grill after replacing the screen

@@alphyzqrw7222that is litterally what he said

You think the mesh grills are bad? I've seen too many phones coming from other shops with the brackets and screws that hold the cables in place just completely missing.

These programmers are getting cheaper, more available, and easier to use. No serious repair shop should be without them. I think it’s probably outside of the realm of most shops to also transfer the screen and back glass plate (14 only) IC’s, but battery BMS boards are very doable.

​@@KingCornWallis battery bms indeed doable. Screen ic always brings a risk of damaging the new screen also. And they are expensivd.

Hi! Someone knows why my brightness is so pretty low on my 14PM after changing the screen for another original Apple screen? (didn’t transferred the IC or ambient light sensor)

Apple isn't too worried about Framework due to them being so niche. If they (Framework) had the marketing power, Apple would do everything in their power to subvert them, or buy them outright

@@watema3381 here is the thing, their products aren't niche it's just a currently niche company. They have the potential to take over the entire laptop market. The only reason they are niche is because they are still a smaller company that isn't as well known. But it's the only growing laptop company in existence. All they have to do is keep making good products and not screw up and they will sell like hotcakes.

The US doesn't have the stones to do that, however the EU might.

They seriously do. But if you try to make practical right to repair legislation including things like that, you'll just get what happened to Louis time and again, the two faced lobbyists pretend to work with you right up until the moment they have an opportunity to go behind your back and F you over

what a stupid comment

What is surgery but really just repairing a human?

Yeah I'm sure it's exactly the same. Who needs med school and surgical residency when you can just watch RU-vid phone repair. Exactly the same.

Brain surgery is not exactly rocket science. 😀

@@itsphoenixingtime Proceeds to rewire memories to make nightmares feel like they actually happened and worst fears come true.........

Reasons why apple sucks 1. Preventing software downgrades for iphones when older ipsws/ios are no longer signed in on Itunes 2. Remotely disabling and bootlooping iphones on older ios forcing them to update and erase their phones. 3. Preventing newer backups from being restored on previous macos/ios versions. 4. Making Photos Libraries incompatible on different macos to force people to buy icloud to transfer their photos libraries to different macos. 5. Disabling older working versions of applications that use internet, then make newer versions only be compatible with latest versions of macos/ios to force users to update.

​@@fuefme9332 Very good reasons for Android users when they get an iPhone!

Unfortunately other manufacturers like apple's practices and only see their revenue growth. Like the headphone jack, expandable storage (which apple never had on iPhones), unlockable bootloaders and more before, other features will disappear from devices not because consumers aren't interested in them anymore but because apple not only got away with removing features and repairability, but grew while doing so. Other manufacturers have no reason not to follow them, if the only thing they'll get is more money and no public backlash.

@@YourNotTrustySouthernNeighbour lol yeah!

@@YourNotTrustySouthernNeighbour No way thank you I will buy same cost Samsung 10 times before an apple because of thew above

Apple's whole "environmental friendliness" is just a load of marketing bullshit

Apple was never environmentally friendly. It's all just a marketing ploy. The fact that their phones are so hard and expensive to repair makes it look like their phones are the most disposable tech on the market. Sure they are durable and you can buy a fully working iPhone 6 even until now but if you look at how hard it is to repair you also realize it's not worth it.

Just like… any other phone company Samsung is honestly just as if not more predatory to their customers

LMAO so environmentally friendly they create the most sophisticated ewaste

It’s funny because a cracked screen isn’t the end of the world if you’re so OCD over a crack on a phone screen you shouldn’t own a smartphone at all

Bro thousands of people can do this 😂 practice makes perfect. It’s not rocket science.

It's not that hard, dude. It just takes time to not fuck it up.

​@@RolandKoller90 It can look overwhelming in hindsight to the avg consumer

Coming soon!

Your Comment: Case sensor Apple: Checked! People: \__(-__-)__/

What about just checking to see if the screws or excess heat has occurred and bricking the iPhone then? It also allows Apple to brick devices in normally hot conditions

Seriously. Sometimes I think their design and software look good, but after getting reminded that breaking it will cost me as much as a new phone, I'd rather side with my trusty Androids.

@@asadfarraj Yeah same, when my camera stopped working on my camera i took it to a random chinese repair store and they fixed it in a hour for 30 dollars, nothing like that would ever happen for apple products

dito!

with apple care a full replacment is $150

​@Dawson that's not free, it's expensive and most never need it.

Speaking of "excruciating", I won't be surprised if Apple starts to ship a lump of C4 inside of the phone with a tripwire.

@jakreu Why?

@@guslarscheid3606 You own the device, you should be allowed to repair it without having to send it off to a company that will charge slightly less than it'd cost to buy a whole new phone, e-waste is a major issue and getting completely new phones when you could repair it doesn't help.

@@WezzRail Who's stopping you from repairing it?

I’ve replaced my last two iPhones solely because their battery wouldn’t last for a whole day and i didn’t wanted to bother bringing it to a repair shop to replace it with a third party battery

@@guslarscheid3606 Apple and other large companies appear to intentionally make Smartphones (and many other devices) very difficult to repair and/or hard to source reasonably priced parts for. On top of that they make systems which won't allow perfectly viable parts to even function. Look at Hugh's teardown and repair assessment video for the iPhone 14 for just one example of this.

Supporting them is encouraging it.

Don’t blame engineers, blame the decision makers.

It is almost impossible because they use glue like plastic that is hard to remove with heat without damaging the chip.

And once he spent a week of no sleep or food doing this and turns the phone on, a new message pops up: "The screen has been swapped AND the ID chip has been swapped, contact apple for assistance"

The X and XS are the easiest

Who cares, apple can an should be able to do what ever they want with the phone they make, you bought it you can figure out how to fix it yourself and if it’s impossible because Apple made it impenetrable and you complain well you should have thought about that before you bought it or make you own phone Im going to keep buying a iPhone, so now apples back to 0 as you -1 and I +1. Your money means nothing to them

Android devices are definitely better in many ways, but I prefer iOS cause of the GUI

Apple made ios but kept it to itself (probably in an attempt to have monopoly over the market) so google made android then sold it to everyone and that's where the problem starts, smartphones grew way past apple's expectations which became a problem since apple realised that their initial plan of sort of creating a "premium phone" in a niche market for people sort of like what VR is simply won't work but they realised it too late and are now forced to squeeze every last penny off the user using brand loyalty while also making sure that users don't switch to an android because they know that once that brand loyalty is gone then they aren't coming back. And hence the reason apple have all that "cool kids" things like apple ecosystem, it's not that android phones can't have that or it's just that for people who use android premium means shoving as much power and battery as possible in a phone and it lasting for 10 years, so niche things like an ecosystem comes second (like they will get down to doing that eventually) for apple users premium means that ecosystem and other "cool kids" stuff that other phones don't have while actual hardware like camera and stuff comes 2nd.
