They’ve basically done that There’s not much to replace inside anymore RAM is soldered SSD is proprietary and the battery is divided into 15 pieces and proprietary I’m probably forgetting something but yeah

@Arden

This is about repairs If they want info they can just take the drive out

He usually just fixes things he can do in 20 minutes Everything else he just says no fix no charge

That’s a smart business model no point in spending hours on a fix when you could do 6 or more in the same time

@TheByteMe3
I bet his services are much cheaper and more convenient than sending your machine to Apple so they can replace multiple components instead of just changing a chip on the board Someone with his skills must be doing really well

@Rin
Apple just sends out a refurbished model they don’t fix your device
