That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.
My mom has an iPhone 6 Plus and hasn’t even had it for a year when one day it suddenly died and would not charge. So she took it to an authorized Apple repair place and they charged her $50 for a diagnostic only to tell her that she would have to buy a brand new phone.
So she decided to go to the AT&T store to talk to our usual guy that upgrades our phones and handles any problems for us. She tells him what’s wrong and he takes her phone to the back only to come out two minutes later, puts her phone on charge and it comes back to life.
She asks him what was wrong with it that he managed to somehow fix when the people at the “authorized apple repair place” couldn’t. And you know what he told her?
“There was just a bit of fuzz in the charging port.”
I FUCKING KNEW IT. Listen, I have a MacBook from college. The charger has died twice, and I had to get a new one. This happened for two years in a row around the same time each year. I’m fucking convinced that their hardware is rigged to “expire” in order to force people to keep buying their shit.
Wait, people are just now learning that Apple has some of the shadiest business practices?
Their hard drives are shit, too.
I got a MacBook for college, 5 months later it was buggy, not working. I didn’t have my laptop to work with for weeks until I could get into the Genius Bar for an appointment (and you know how bad their service is). They replaced my hard drive, and everything was fine (except it was like a brand new computer and some of my shit was lost), but then about a month after that I was having the same exact problems. They replaced my hard drive a total of 4 times before just giving me a brand new laptop because apparently the computer wasn’t connecting with the hard drive right and that had been the problem all along.
Not even a year later and the exact same issues are happening with this one. They just replaced the hard drive like a week ago. Thankfully my parents had gotten the 3-year warranty on my first computer so all that stuff I didn’t have to pay for. And when the replaced it they told us the remaining 2 years would transfer over to this one, but they tried to make me pay $100+ for the replacement hard drive. Took awhile, but finally we got them to give us this repair for free, but that looks like it might be it, and the remaining year is something we paid for but won’t ever get to use.
I’ve always stuck with Macs because it’s what I’ve grown up using and I don’t really feel like relearning how to use a computer when I’m an expert at this one already. But you can be sure as hell that when this one has something “fatally wrong” with it again, a Mac is not what I will be buying to replace it.
