parts married to each other. cant take a camera from 1 and put it in another.
all worthless, as best thing to do when an Iphone breaks, is throw it away and get another one.

thats apples core design philosophy

Came here to say the same thing, so that score for repairability should be 0, unless you pay apple to reprogram the parts to your phone at their ludicrous prices

why is anybody surprised? Apple dont do repairs, rather sell you a new phone and add to the mountains of e-waste already out there.
one of the major reasons I will NEVER buy Apple.

That phone probably cost them $70 ?
probably cost them $20 and about 800USD in lifelong Trauma to the abused factory worker in China who had to build this disposable technology.
but people keep buying Apple, because they are sheep.

Proudly Apple free free since the first gen iPhone. Totally agree, all about money making and people still flock to them like sheep. I don't understand it

No no, happy. And don't be nasty, we don't go calling you Android fanboys "poor people" whether it is true or not.
happy, paying overinflated prices for tech that is completely disposable and worth nothing once they stop supporting it.
okay got you:thumbsup:

and I wouldn't call somebody with a ROG phone poor,

Well look at it this way.

If you own multiple Apple devices they all just work together and a Mac is just about the best dev machine out there (my opinion of course), my iPad is great for Lightroom work, Apple TV is the shizz.

But the one thing you guys miss is that you don't pay full price for an iPhone upgrade. I bought this iPhone 8 for R13k 3 years ago, I can go trade it in for a new one and get a R4000 discount. I might do it but then this phone operates like the day I bought it so maybe I can wait for the 13 instead.

The real question is why people get so worked up about other people buying Apple. Why do you guys even care?

I could say its the same realm as smokers vs others, but its not about jealousy, more about picking on the weakest member, as they are spewing their badness all over, a open, free and rough market is better for the market as a whole, having less competition due to a closed off segment is bad for the market as a whole, but mostly its probably just bitterness and nastiness.
