Which means a repair guy wont be able to repair your phone because the phone will tear if you try to open it. The only way to repair the phone is going to an apple store if there is such place in your area and pay for their expensive repairs. 3rd party repairs are much more cheaper but Apple don't want you to pay for something cheaper. The battery have a lock against 3rd party repairs!



First they dont give you charger and headphone and now this. I bet people I mean SHEEPle will still buy this child slaving phone.

Why is it that they don't like to give out easier technology. Now that they dont give us charger, how are we going to charge!? . i can see in the video that the USB-c is changed to the one we used before.

and now repairing becomes harder too. it is hard to find apple repair stores for most people.

[Sincerem]

Why is apple so greedy minded like this, don't they know that not every one have that time to visit them regularly for repair. They should always manufacture phones that is easy to access.

Samsung might be the best option at this moment because that is just way too much. it lacks accessories and repairing will be a pain.

Unfortunately, this is not just Apple move. Many manufacturers make devices but don't allow anybody else to fic them expect authorized service. Some cars have weird keys to unlock and replace parts which have only authorized service. Otherwise you need to break or tear off part to put it down.
They say reason for this is bad 3d party service and in that case device get bad comment even it is not manufacturer mistake.

Exactly, despite the fact that they don't give chargers anymore and headphones and even this crazy anti tear mechanism people would still buy this it's really crazy.

If there is no apple repair store in your area and your Iphone 12 got broken, you might as well throw it in the trash. Designed to be disposable.

Wow! Great doing by Apple!
They have now striven hard to get more people in India and perhaps in more nations think of switching from Apple to other phones in the future.
One does needs third party repairs at times. Apple authorized centers have fixed minimum fees and unarguably more expensive.
I have gone for third party repairs even for other brands like a Lenovo Tablet.
The ultra-rich and any stiff British upper lip styled folks might still go for Apple, but others would surely have second thoughts.

Impossible to repair to most people, No free charger, No headphones, Why should I buy that? it is just a status symbol.

No way I would throw it after I pay it so much. Rather stay or goes on online market. Maybe somebody buy it. But now way I would throw it.

Status Symbol is an object you can brag to show you are rich. Biggest Example will be those Gucci bags.
