Wow, this is one of the most short sited and close minded responses I've ever

That's like saying everything the Government says is true or police are here to

Lets take it from the top.
Tweaking, taking things apart and curiosity are some of the most basic
traights.
Hello Everyone,
I have read the previous messages on this topic, I would like to
respectfully object. I would like to begin by saying that I feel the topic
is certainly news worthy. Furthermore I am quite disturbed at how readily
folks on this list are willing to just bow to the
Ok.
You would fall into that very small minority group in which such information is
news worthy. You said yourself, some funky screws won't stop the adventurous
type. I think what Apple did was a waste of time and money. And at the end of
the day, it comes off a little petty. But the fact
Hello Ricardo,
I would like to respectfully disagree with your assertion that
things broke down more frequently, back then. Today we have engineered
obsolescence, and things are designed to breakdown. I can provide a laundry
list to this fact, however one fact still remains, I have a
I guess we will just agree to disagree here. :). I don't think its mysticism.
I think people just don't care. Because of the obsolescence you pointed out
that is built into devices. Why spend time fixing something that will be
outdated anyway? That pretty much sums up the computer age. I
I have to go with Ricardo on this one.
Smart phones are far far more complex than your old 60 year old icebox. It's
just the way it is.
While I agree with you that there is planned failures and products are
engineered to break the fact people don't tinker has nothing to do with any
mnystery
Your crazy if you think the old sears catalog has anything to do with modern
smart phone devices.
How many possible users who wanted to service their own device woud even know
what a gate is let alone the different types or would even be able to source a
replacement part. An IPhone isn't a

You miss the point or at least the point I was making. The average (excludes
electronics technicians) have little need to be mucking about inside the phone,
iPod, etc. You are correct that Apple is protecting its bottom line and
rightfully so. If people started messing around with their

Whilst I do agree with you, I feel that in this situation, Apple did
make the right choice by making there iPhones harder to take apart.
You talk about computer repair. When you ran the shop, did you ever
get someone who tried to upgrade or fix the computer themselves? Did
you ever find
I think this is part of a natural phase that various technologies go through.
For stereos, you had Heath kits. For computers, you had interchangeable card.
In this process, there's a shift toward integration in the hardware, which
makes it difficult to tinker with. Even auto companies went
Scott, great points and I follow you now.
In the end it's probably because Apple can sell service on your device.:)
You have some strong points.

Hi Ben,
I never really got into figuring out how to do depot level repairs
on the equipment. I naturally replaced cards and built systems, because
that was part of the operation of a small shop. I mainly ran the routers,
switches and THS system. I do know a guy who if you could get him
Hello Ricardo and everyone else who has posted to this thread,
I would have to agree that everyone has a bit of truth in what is
being posted. We certainly can make many more mods to the equipment than we
are led to believe. That is fine though, because you all are correct many
folks
Hi Scott and all,
I must say, I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread.

I have enjoyed this thread as well, though I guess it treads the thin ice for

I purposely left that out because Apple Care is a given. ALthough I have to
admit that all things considered, Apple Care is pretty cheap in general. A
great example is when the USB port on my first iMac crapped out. I would have
found and still find taking an iMac apart to be a painful process.
Is this another method apple i using to control repairs and keep consumers out?

Gee, have you considered that maybe Apple doesn't want you mucking about in
there and then trying to claim the device has some sort of flaw, which means
they would have to replace or repair it? There is a reason why they don't want
the average person messing with the internals. Now once out of

I can't think of any reason why someone would want to take apart there
iPhone while it's under warranty anyway. Whats the point in attempting
to fix something if Apple will do it for you and will in most cases do
a much better job?

If someone has that knowledge then they would have the tools to remove the
screws. However, again, the point is to keep people like you who do not have
the knowledge from attempting to replace batteries and the like, but ends up
breaking the device. You know your limitations, but some do not.
ahem, I think not. the smarter than average thinker will think it unwise
to tinker with such an investment.
I have note even read it, and i find the concept hilarious!
Actually its rather common for them makers of electronics to strongly
