iPhone 12 cameras can only be replaced by official Apple technicians, 12 Pro is unaffected

31 October 2020
If you take the camera out of a brand new iPhone 12, put it in another new iPhone 12 and you'll run into inexplicable issues.

sa11oum, 03 Nov 2020iPhone 11 Pro Max has literally 10-12 hours of screen time ... moreIt's not 10-12hr SOT.
It was more like 8.5-9hr SOT for me.
(Don't forget it is stuck at 60hz which improves the result)

My OP8 pro gives 9-9.5hr SOT with 1080p+@120Hz.

And battery life is just one part of the equation. It has weak charging capabilities taking 2+hrs to charge a 4000mah battery. Combine that with battery degradation over the years due to batterygate.

    IPhone 11 pro max has good battery life, but all batteries degrade over time, and come my point that if you replace the battery you lose lot's of features.
    on Android, replacing battery has no effect on performance.

        which is almost unreplaceable, except by swapping the whole housing.
        very few 3rd party repair centers have laser to remove the glue from the back.

          -IPhones have less than 10 hours of screen on time, unless you just stay idle on background, which makes no sence.
          -IPhones get updates for 5 years, but those updates decrease the performance to maintain the batterylife,
          -IPhones are literally the worst devices to repair, yes with specific tools it will be easier, but still, every 3rd party repair agrees that iphones are the worst to repair.

            Everyone knows what cheap phone you are stuck with.
            Keep dreaming about using Apple and Samsung.

                  The repairing costs of the iPhone are too steep and other really good phones could be bought for the price of just a minor repair

                        Look at his smartphone durability awards 2019 video.
                        The iPhone ends up as runner up in worst repairabilty award.
                        It came runner up to a foldable. Tells you how bad it is.

Apple just started using hand down display yech from samsung, tech that has existed for so many years. iphone batteries only started to last reasonably with iphone 11. It was shit before that. And apple premium service is just a fad. The only thing they can do is replace the whole display or motherboard, not good at repairing anything and that too will take a minimum of 2 weeks. Worst service I have ever seen. I mean, you have to pay to replace atleast half of the phone components as there are no repair works; ok fine, but even when you pay a lot of money it still takes them 2 weeks. Sounds ridiculous and lousy to me

                                - Max iPhones have 10 hours of screen on time;
                                - iPhones have OLED panels made by Samsung (the best display manufacturer on the planet);
                                - iPhones get software updates for 5 years at a minimum;
                                - iPhones are relatively easy to repair once you have the specific tools (which are not hard to obtain), they are not any harder to repair than most high-end Androids;
                                - iPhones have the most carbon-free footprint of any device and Apple as a company will be 100% carbon free by 2030.

                                  annoying customer, 31 Oct 2020in you’re dreamApple lacks battery life, screen and repairability.
                                  if you want a lasting device, get android.
                                  if you want a device that can't be repaired get Apple.
                                  Save the environment and don't buy apple.

                                    Samsung will put up an ad or meme making fun of this thing. Then they will do the very same thing next year on their own products.

                                      DareDevil01, 01 Nov 2020Here's the hole in your theory. Apple have been doing ... more1. Samsung had just locked their finger scanner to one of their phones,
                                      2. Samsung used to sell their battery to anyone, now they stopped.

                                      There goes your theory. :-)

                                        Jaeger, 31 Oct 2020The thing is, a phone isn't a luxury good. It's a... moreSure bud. Just like a car is getting from point A to point B. That's why everyone drives around in Corollas.
