> Moreover, despite some “bold” proclamations from the haters… no android vendors ever ended up making their oem tooling available to consumers at all. You have to use the Amazon spudger on your pixel, and you will fuck up the waterproofing when you do your repair, because the android phone won’t seal properly against water without the tools either. IPX sixtywho!?
I think the dirty little secret here is that an iPhone is just about the only phone, apart from maybe some of the really nice Google and Samsung flagships, that anyone wants to repair, because they're bloody expensive. Which is fine and dandy but then do kindly park your endless bemoaning of the subjects of e-waste and non-repairable goods, when Android by far and away is the worse side of that equation, with absolute shit tons of low yield, crap hardware made, sold, and thrown away when the first software update renders it completely unusable (if it wasn't already, from the factory).
