Shocking Revelation: Apple Finally Caves to Public Pressure, Makes iPhone 16 Slightly Less Impossible to Repair
The perpetual thorn in the side of DIY enthusiasts and right-to-repair advocates everywhere – glue – has been the bane of the repair community for far too long. And who has been at the forefront of this sticky situation? The tech giants, of course. But in a bold move, Apple has suddenly decided to make a half-hearted attempt to ease our suffering.
So, what’s the big deal about Apple’s new adhesive? Well, it seems they’ve concocted a special formula that “relaxes” its grip on the battery when the phone’s voltage drops to a certain level. But let’s be real, it’s not like they’re doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. They’re just trying to shut us up and appease the regulators.
But here’s the thing: Apple’s “innovative” solution is nothing more than a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. The real issue – and the reason why most iPhone owners are still forced to surrender their devices to Apple’s authorized repair shops – remains unchanged. And that’s the fact that our devices are still designed with planned obsolescence in mind, with “easy” repairs being the exception rather than the rule.
