Strange that 73 other people, 30+ of who downvoted long after I added the proof, think that ifixit are wrong.
I don’t think they have a problem with the ifixit scores, more with the words you have chosen to convey your message. Also of course you will not find any love for Big Tech in the Fediverse ;-)
My words were the truth, I guess that’s why they have an issue with them 🤣
Personally I downvoted you because you completely forgive/forget the older devices from Apple.
They had sold approximately 2.2 billions of impossible to repair devices before they kind of changed course with the iPhone 14 line.
But those devices don’t have to meet these laws, so they’re irrelevant.
I also didn’t say they have always been great, I said they’ve been at the forefront for years, which is true. Their recent phones are easier to repair than almost any other phones on the market.
