    macbooks, no phones. And how do you make an argument that it’s better to change the whole phone than just the battery?

      …So he wants to expand into phones. And I wouldn’t, I just don’t like when guys pretend they’re not doing the exact thing apple is doing.

          No. Hadn’t considered that at all. I had thought about how he opened a business to make money though.

            By your logic, any business is evil because they make money and exploit the customer. Now you win the argument, go home.

            I used to watch his content a couple of years ago and I remember him saying multiple times that he reaches his goal if he goes out of buisness. Devices being so easy to repair, that his services are no longer needed would be a reason he’ll gladly accpect as a failure of his buisness. I haven’t watched him in a while so I’m not sure whether he still holds that opinion. But given that the laptops, phones and harddrives waiting for repair where literary piling up in his workshop, it’s more likely that his shop burns down than him running out of customers. What he lacks is time, and skilled workers to fullfill orders, which are much harder to come by than broken electronics.

        this guy just wants to help you replace parts of your phone instead of your whole phone

        I don’t see the issue

        No, he used to do phones a long time ago though iirc. He’s repeatedly said he doesn’t want to get back into phone repair because there’s no margin.
