    real phones with counterfeit parts resulting from third party repairs doesn’t seem that surprising given how restrictive apple is about providing authentic repair parts. i would not be surprised if this turns out to be another case of them shooting themselves in the foot because they got too greedy.

      They truly are a ridiculous company. If they were a bit more open about their Macs I would buy one, but they aren’t so I don’t.

      Their desire nickel and dime people as much as possible ultimately ends up in the earning less money. Meanwhile every small computer shop on the planet sells Windows computers.

        i hear you, though being more open with hardware is more difficult because compat issues are real. the company does appear to be doing alright tho?
