Apple Repair / Support

[Luxman]

Apple doesn't want to repair their hardware, they only want to sell replacements.

For the price they sell at, Apple should have free data recovery with all their products.

Jessa Jones only charges $300 for data recovery.
Most data recovery companies charge minimum $500, most people probably pay $1000 or more.

Always backup your data!!!


Jessa Jones CORRECTS Apple on data recovery and gets BANNED!

I won't be sad when Tim Cook departs his C-suite office. I understand that profits are important to public companies. But imagine how it could be if Apple regained its focus on customer satisfaction and making innovative products (a Mac Pro that wasn't just a shiny, pretty, over-priced toy andHomePod speakers that had a Siri interface that was BETTER than what the spyware makers at Google and Amazon offer, etc.). Apple's product quality is still quite high. But the main reason I stick with their products is data privacy. Unfortunately, they make it harder than it should be for even the authorized user to recover data. That's why people should learn to backup their important data on a hard schedule.

Apple has not been the same since Steve Jobs passed away.Everything they have come out with is the same with bigger screens.I don’t see anything innovative.I’m still trying to figure why anybody would want an Apple Watch!

 

[Luxman]

The only new "innovations" that Apple is currently making to their over-priced products is making them with cheaper parts and with less built in features so that they can con people into buying more overpriced addons and services that were once included in all Apple products.
Without Steve Jobs, Apple has lost it's ability to invent new products or new innovations. Their main focus is to squeeze every last penny of profit from their current products through dishonesty.
Apple is full of worms and rotten to the core.

Why can't you open and close a Macbook? Isn't this supposed to be a laptop?

Apple and Amazon cut a deal that upended the Mac resale market
Thom Holwerda 2019-05-22 Apple 5 Comments

When John Bumstead looked at listings for his products on Amazon.com in early January, he was waiting for the guillotine to fall.

A small online business owner from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Bumstead specializes in refurbishing and selling old MacBooks, models he typically buys from recyclers and fixes up himself. But on January 4th, Bumstead’s entire business dwindled into nonexistence as his listings were removed from the platform due to a new policy limiting all but the largest companies and specially authorized providers from selling Apple products.

Apple made a special deal with Amazon to basically exterminate all third party repair services and used Apple product sellers that aren’t specifically approved by Apple. The result is a sharp increase in pricing on used Apple products sold on Amazon – exactly what Apple wants, of course – and smaller, non-Apple approved resellers are dying off.

Charming. And people actually claim Apple has morals and values.

My own 2 cents: I'm also interested in what Louis Rossman (NY refurb/data recovery/youtube OC creator guy) has to say about this. Probably his usual, which boils down to "WHAT THE HELL DID I EVER DO TO YOU?! WHAT ARE THIRD PARTY PEOPLE BEING TARGETED FOR?! HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT AFTER CHARGING 1,000 BUCKS FOR A LOGIC BOARD REPLACEMENT ON YOUR BADLY DESIGNED BOARDS WHERE A SIMPLE CAPACITOR BROKE?! Also, buy me some tweezers."

The horrible truth about Apple's repeated engineering failures.

The horrible truth about Apple's repeated engineering failures.

Interesting watch.

I don't know if it's available anywhere, but many years ago, I was watching a episode of the Gadget Show and they did an Apple Vs PC repair test. They dropped both machines. A few parts on each machine were trashed, with a fair chunk being untouched. The PC was quickly repaired with plug and play parts. The Apple was binned, it was toast. They could not get a hold of replacements, they just weren't available. If the slightest part of your Apple broke, you were screwed.
