    Isn’t that just common sense that you can just repair Your Own phone

    • 平和

      November 18, 2021 at 12:08 am

      Unfortunately not, no.

    • JCal

      November 18, 2021 at 12:09 am

      you can, but due to Apple’s policy, you will void your warranty. This whole thing is a positive move since it gives people everything they need to repair (not using shady tools or manuals).

      You can, just like you can repair your own car, your own plumbing, your own roof. Do you wanna? Are you capable? Well that’s up to you!

    We already do without their permission

    Having Service Manuals and Parts is great. I just hope their future devices will be *EASIER* to repair and that the parts are actually reasonably priced…

    I got tons of tools and I got a small forge and make some nifty things from broken ones IE tiny screw drivers and lock picks from broken ones I find at yard sales.

      They are making their product more modular.

    Apple is definitely moving to the right directions and Apple has always been listening to their customers and now they are delivery everything their customers asked. Apple will take over the smartphones sales per unit market share from Samsung and other android smartphones manufacturers, that is the future Apple is heading to and they will succeed.

    What makes the hardest part of the repairs is the BS in regards to the software locks they put on parts, batteries and replacement screens, etc

  22. Sla V

    November 18, 2021 at 12:50 am

    Apple said hmm I don’t have to pay employees to fix phones? I can cut down that cost. Charge the consumer authorized repair shop prices of tools and hardware. Well sounds like easy money to us. Also there’s a lot more consumers than even apple repair stores or authorized repair stores. The amount of hardware apple will move is crazy. When it’s a business it’s never a benefit for the consumer.

  23. FormulaWill

    November 18, 2021 at 12:52 am

    I think Apples actions have more to do with Right to Repair legislation than any concern for their customers.

    It’s a lie

  30. OSEI ALFRED

    November 18, 2021 at 6:44 am

    The parts will cost extremely expensive, and that will make you think of buying new one

    • joe jack

      November 19, 2021 at 12:15 am

      Apple is planning for another PR Stunt, not a self service repair service.

  31. Nabil El Berr

    November 18, 2021 at 6:45 am

    It’s a scheme to sell us on these useless extended warranties ???? once we know what the single tools cost and how complicated it is to repair one’s phone, we’ll be happy to pay extra for not having to deal with it all!

  32. 123abc

    November 18, 2021 at 7:34 am

    if it’s under warranty why would you repair it yourself?

  33. Boris Toshkov

    November 18, 2021 at 7:45 am

    Apple is totally irreparable by trained professionals let alone common users with tools. This is a PR and a law stunt that will hopefully backfire.

    I will just continue to buy a case and screen protector so I won’t ever have to deal with DIY or taking it to then for repair. early prevention is way cheaper than fixing it.

  50. Rishi Bajari

    November 19, 2021 at 8:19 am

    Maybe Apple thinks that people will try to repair on there own f*** it up even more and then we can charge them more money ????????

  51. jimmy chen

    November 19, 2021 at 6:36 pm

    It’s so funny some people appreciate Apple for “allowing” all this. Sober up. Apple’d never allow any of this. They are forced to make this move, to “compete” in a business that was always a monopoly for them.

  52. ??????

    November 19, 2021 at 7:58 pm

    This move will make apple more money

  53. Sarthak Gaba

    I have the iPhone 13 pro max in white 128gb and did an unboxing video on my channel! Absolutely love this phone. I also did a Spigen clear glitter case unboxing and try on, this is a great case if anyone is wanting a clear but slimming case for the 13 pro max. Love this phone.

The Despacio tent is a temple of music for audio geeks, and the brainchild of LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy, Stephen and David Dewaele of 2manydjs aka Soulwax, and audio engineer John Klett. First created in 2013, Despacio makes its way from festival to festival, blasting dancers with vintage vinyl from seven McIntosh speaker stacks that make up the 50,000-watt sound system along with the lighting rig and iconic disco ball that complete the experience. CNET social producer Faith Chihil got a chance to catch it at Portola Music Festival in San Francisco and here’s what she found. #despacio #portolamusicfestival #festival #audiophile #vinyl
