Disassembling Apple devices is being tried every time a new product is released by many parties such as iFixit, but it has also disassembled the tools included in the self-repair kit for repairing the iPhone yourself. A strong man has appeared.
Did the repair tool need to be disassembled?
When you sign up for Apple’s fully-launched “Self-Service Repair Program,” you’ll receive two suitcases. It has been revealed that some genuine repair tools used by Apple Stores and authorized service providers are packed tightly, but some people have even disassembled those tools.
Quinn Nelson, who runs the YouTube channel Snazzy Labs, which boasts over one million subscribers, has released a disassembled video of a battery press, a display glue press, and a heated display removal device.
There is growing interest in “rights to repair”, and iFixit’s repairability score, which disassembles and ranks devices for ease of repair, is always attracting attention, but we dare to disassemble special equipment for repair. Do I need to inspect the contents?
Do all of Apple’s dedicated equipment feel “overkill”?
First, the battery press, as the name implies, is for fixing the battery in place, but it’s easy to do by hand and you don’t know if you need a dedicated tool, Nelson said. Says.
In the video, a person who had designed tools for Apple products commented, “They (Apple) are all overkill. The power supply isn’t just glued inside. It was ridiculous to weld the two parts of the clamshell, “he said.
