That was fun to watch
If the battery is dead how can they turn it on to find out what the problem is? Literally an unsolvable problem.
I suppose in theory they could replace the battery and then see if that fixed the issue, and if it didn’t then there’s another issue, and then fix that issue, but all that seems like a lot of work.
This is sarcasm right and people are being wooshed or!?!? (I really don’t know anymore sometimes :D)
Only a Genius could come up with a scheme that offloads the cost of their own laziness to the customer. Exactly the kind of innovation that Steve Jobs stood for.
If the battery is dead how can they turn it on to find out what the problem is? Literally an unsolvable problem.
Takes 5 seconds to probe the battery with a multimeter and see its dead. Those are basic troubleshooting steps that some 10 year olds can do, let alone a professional repair shop.
And any device built to be serviceable has diagnostic probing points on the pcb for stuff like this, even iPhones
Yeah I know that’s my point.
Given the absolutely clueless troubleshooting you suggested in the 2nd paragraph that was not exactly clear
My iPhone 5’s battery was fucked after 3.5 years
Went into Apple Store for first time in my life
They took phone, I walked around for a half hour
Went back, they replaced battery because it was a known issue for free
Used phone for another year before giving it to a friend
I went to an identical hole for an iphone battery. But no i’m not the greentext guy
Not a war crime, definitely a crime. Legal in the usa tho
I had a screen die on an iphone. The guy lied and said it could not be fixed. I got a piece if shit android phone. Two years later I see the old Iphone and plugged it in. The fucking thing works.
Couldn’tWouldn’t👌
Could’ve bought a new android phone for the same price.

I stopped reading when it said “$2000 paperweights”. You can dislike Apple for any number of reasons, but this doesn’t make sense. Its products work just fine and they run the software that’s on them.
It becomes a paperweight once you install the software updates.
No it does not. Anyone who refers to a functional machine as a paperweight should be involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation.
“Functional machine” is the working term here. But I guess we have different definitions of what counts as “functional” :)
We do not have different definitions of a functional machine. If you think they’re overpriced, fine; underperforming per price:performance ratio? Fine. Whatever you want. But brand new Apple products work and you all sound ridiculous defending calling them paperweights.
This story is a lie.
