Apple is Locking iPhone Batteries.

Since the launch of iOS 12, repair techs are noticing a disturbing trend. Any time a battery is replaced on an iPhone XS, XS Max, XR, battery health diagnostics would report that the installed battery was unable to be verified as an authentic Apple battery and the battery health info would be disabled. This happened even when the installed battery was a verified as an authentic Apple part. So if you thought Apple had stopped attacking independent repair, I’ve got some bad news for you. They now appear to be aggressively locking down even the most basic battery repairs by pairing your battery to your phone, and this time the fix might not be as simple as a software update.

Only fools continue to buy this deliberately crippled junk.

Unfortunately some android companies are imitating apple’s bad practices.

EG?

Hii case ikifika EU court hawawezi shinda

example many high-end android phones glue their batteries.
samsung note 10 will no longer have headphone jacks despite samsung making fun of apple when they removed their headphone jacks.

Look how hard it is to just remove the back of this phone.

Agreed in totality!

Samsung glues it’s batteries in order to make the phone water-resistant.

Yeah it makes sense when you talk about the case but remember they also glue the battery.

Phone waterptoofing is always a scam. Never cared about it.

Water resistance is not water-proofing.

Never stay with a phone for more than 2yrs, 172days

Agreed. I have many muzungu friends who always call me after an iOS update complaining about Wifi not working or can’t receive calls or some other nonsense. Apple is shooting themselves in the foot. They need to simplify their tech because when the Great Recession in the Western world comes, their sales are going to plummet. Quit trying to lock users into a crippled ecosystem. Oh well, old habits die hard. :slight_smile:

Once a true viable mobile Linux gets established, iOS and even proprietary Android are going to feel the heat. Come on KDE, get that damn Plasma Mobile working!:smiley:

I can’t wait to ditch bloated Android. How lame is it that I can run KDE Plasma (Netrunner, Kubuntu) in 400MB of RAM on a desktop PC, but later versions of Android hogs close to 700MB running nothing? That’s the difference between programming in fast C/C++ vs sloooow, bloated Java with a JRE. How lame is it that on my client’s 25 Tecno DroPad 7D tablets, I can’t get a damn applock installed? So users are always installing crap and setting up Kids Zone with passwords which we then have to do a hard reset. Lame and a waste of valuable time!

Since Android is essentially Linux, why can’t I have Standard and Administrator/Root users like Linux or Windows? I am really sick of it. Come on KDE, it’s time to roll! :mad:

Those things you have mentioned have existed on Android since version 6

As for using 400MB of RAM, I would like to see hD graphic games like Asphalt and PUBG run on that. 64Bit processors means that they can support as much RAM as they want
