  • Parts pairing or what Apple calls "Systems and methods for authenticating components on an electronic device" has caused issues with repair for years. Now due to changing laws Apple have to make some changes by allowing used Apple parts. Although not without a lot of questions sounding 3rd party parts and how Activation Lock will work for replacement components.

    I'm glad you're following such news and keeping us up to date. The lawmakers in Oregon should see this video. I just replaced the Touch Bar on my 2019 MB Pro as it was not working correctly and often caused the whole computer to panic and shutdown. As I have work experience on fixing phones, it was doable but man was the Touch Bar adhesive strong! It sort of reminded me of iPhone back glass glue and I had to scrape the old Touch Bar out in a million pieces. Not a fun job. I'm glad it turned out fine and it works now, luckily it wasn't a paired part!

    This reminds me of a situation I was personally in, My 2001 Vauxhall frontera sport was hit by someone in an aygo, it only had minor damage, however because of part rarity, (I’m UK) etc, it was put at Cat B (or breaker) so it could only be crushed, and never put on the road again, with 74k miles on it. It also reminds me of certain Samsungs, for example, a fold 5 or whatever they call them now, where because of the difficulty in sourcing the display, they are mostly put to recycling (cost Ofc), similar to that s21 ultra you found at landfill. Now iPhones may be less likely to be repaired, or even saved from landfill so parts may be used, it’s kind of sad we have come to this, for something as (for example) insignificant as a phone’s camera. Scary.

      This happened to a lot of new cars, especially EVs, due to global parts supply issues following COVID, and the cost to the insurer of hiring like vehicles for an undefined lengthy period whilst waiting for those parts. As a result it is now harder to obtain insurance for certain vehicles, despite the supply issues largely resolved.

    • @Danspy501st

      Sounds alike a law we have in Denmark too. How we in Denmark says that a car is totalled, is to see how much it costs to repair it out of x% of the car's value.
      For example. You can have the most everyday car and a high end expensive car. Give them both a dent and a scratch on the same part of each car. You will risk to get the high end expensive car marked as totalled, while the everyday car can be repaired and sent out on the roads again. And because how the laws are here in Denmark. Once a car is marked for being totalled, then NO ONE can buy it and repair it. It will be crushed and scrapped

      . Cat b is for things that are impossible to repair. If you only had "minor" damage it's not impossible to repair. Even on a 2001 frontera. It might not have been cost effective for the insurance to pay for it but there are plenty of broken spare fronteras still about. I wouldn't be surprised if insurance companies are being instructed to get older cars off the roads. Cat b cars you can buy back.

    i still dont understand the security concerns it seems completely manufactured to me.
    The problem being that the fingerprint reader module should not be doing everything locally, because then it would be incredibly trivial to spoof, maybe even in software. The only thing it should be doing doing is reading out data from your finger print, and then spitting it into the CPU of the phone for it to verify.
    If that's a "security concern" whoever could use that information, already has your fingerprints, and therefore already has access to your phone. Making dummy prints it's not exactly difficult.

      @@HughJeffreys hm, interesting, thanks for the response, it still seems like a bigger issue on apples side to me. A sensor sending the same identical spoofed reading would not only be active all of the time, (which i imagine would make it really obvious) but would also be like super trivial to protect against software side. Literally all you have to do is to cross reference the previous one with the next one, it's going to be slightly different.
      The chances of it being the exact same in repeated fashions are basically impossible. And even then (if you didnt want to do that for security reasons for instance) you could still do some basic tests when the hardware is installed to ensure that it actually works properly, which can't be that difficult. Considering they already have it setup that way. There is still no reason i see for it to completely disable it outright.
      And beyond that the likelihood that this would be a one time targeted attack is also basically zero. Certainly possible but it would be more effective if whoever was targeting you just hit you over the head with a brick or something lol. So it's mostly just user error, and apple not allowing the user any freedom under the guise of security that they won't implement.

    Apple is fully against "right to repair" regardless of what they say
    I've seen issues similar to this while working as a service tech for a restaurant group.
    Sometimes having "exclusive" parts is important but not everything has to be exclusive. In some cases we were required to purchase the parts from certain vendors in spite of the same part (brand and part number) were available elsewhere, sometines for a lower price. That eventually was changed as it slowed repairs
    Now in many cases we are able to replace parts in equipment so long as it was of similar style (as in compressors) or were generic parts (such as power cords, relays, contactors, etc)

    To be honest for all the good things about Apple's hardware and software (not so much lately) it has become much easier to just chose other devices/manufacturers considering their behavior and the constantly increasing prices (for no good reason).
    I understand many peoples are somewhat locked in for convenience because it can be very hard to swap all the data and equivalent software that people are using but I would say we are around the corner where it has become a worthwhile inconvenience to at least try.
    Smartphones evolution is pretty much done and it's hard to justify the large premium Apple ask for their devices when they are clear problems down the road for longevity (repairability and forced software obsolescence).
    I have been an Apple customer long before they became that successful and I am just appalled by what the company has become.

    I've seen certain tools to reactivate certain components and functions like True Tone and reset battery percentage also to copy the data from factory screen to an OEM replacement.
    Looks promising, but Apple repair policy is unfair and they can't solve some problems that 3rd people can do with such a quality.

    I bought your app iTest and got a fail on the light sensor. I would like to see that you add basic troubleshooting steps to the app to make sure it’s really an hardware issue. That would have saved my a support chat with Apple, having them run remote diagnostics on my phone, planning a support visit and me worrying all day about the potential costs of the repair if it wasn’t covered under warranty and the need to buy iCloud for a full backu . (Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Auto-Brightness must be turned on for this to work. No setting in the standard display settings will indicate that something is turned off). Also the compass test doesn’t work on my 15 pro max, yet the compass works absolutely fine in the default Compass appand during navigation.

    One thing that Apple has taught me is that if you think they're going to do something right, you're most likely wrong, and if you aren't, then it's always a massive compromise to what is actually the right thing. They will fight this to the end, and only ever give what they're forced to give. Either by actual regulation, or the threat of regulation making them do it properly.

    They need to allow the activation lock to send a sms/email to the previously registered owner and include a message field.

    Hey Hugh, you SHOULD send links to specific videos of yours like iPhone Max & iPhone Max Motherboard swap, or, Macbook parts swap etc etc, that SHOWS ALL PARTS NOT connected to the 'Touch ID' and 'Face Unlock' that are locked out/hampered just by swapping main board! These videos showing how EXACTLY the parts pairing system affects devices, and VITALLY showing lawmakers (like this one in Oregon) that what the Apple rep is saying (I guess under oath?) IS UTTER BULLSH!TE !
    The way you do your videos shows that you don't try playing games, or hide anything, you show EXACTLY what is happening, so much so, I'm guessing these videos of yours could very well be used as DAMNING EVIDENCE AGAINST Apple's cloak and dagger behaviour that is costing millions of people out there, A LOT of money...

    I could genuinely see Apple barring or disabling some features of, say, third party batteries, cameras used for FaceID, and fingerprint sensors, as Hugh has noted many times. I wouldn't fully agree with it, but it would be legitimate at least. Virtually nothing else has a legitimate claim to safety or security though, and it's pure profiteering on their part.
