Apple apparently bricking cameras after third party repairs.


It sort of comes as a kicker to me (well not really) that Apple, after talking so much about the environment and saving on card board, and also providing authorisation to third parties to repair their products; Apple is now bricking iPhone 12 camera modules if someone not authorized by Apple attempts a repair.This is especially concerning since I saw a tweet from someone showing that their iPhone 12 camera glass broke on its own.This; after the whole lightning to type c cable issue, really makes me thing that Apple really doesn't care about the green on the land but instead the green in their pockets.The thing that worries is me that- while other brands are mocking Apple for things such as the charger- they might follow suit for the same, and maybe even the third party repair restrictions if it is true; as they did with headphone jacks and notches.My sources for the news are TechLinked and iFixit. via /r/tech https://ift.tt/3jHR3IE
