iFixit reports major repair issues essentially rendering iPhone 12 camera repair almost unusable

[Arlen Holder]

Bearing in mind not only can Apple barely scratch the top ten on camera
quality of output, but now, only Apple pulls these fast tricks purely for
profit off its infantile gullible consumer, all verbatim simply because
*Apologists' _hate_ all facts about Apple* such that apologists will
brazenly deny even these well-cited published facts from iFixit.

"the new phone appears to run into issues if a user replaces the
camera module, *which renders the cameras almost totally unusable*"

o iFixit reports that there are major issues when replacing the camera
<https://www.theverge.com/2020/10/30/21542242/apple-iphone-12-third-party-repairs-ifixit-camera-module-replacement>

"repairing a camera or display will now require Apple's own, in-house
System Configuration app, something that had previously only been
required for a battery swap"

"Apple has long since limited some aspects of iPhone repairs, like its
Touch ID and Face ID sensors... but it's hard to see how the camera
or battery would require similar restrictions"

See also the well-known fact that it's ONLY APPLE who pulls these tricks:
o Is there an Android manufacturer who employs the customer unfriendly repair practices that Apple foists upon its loyal customer base?

o Do any Android phone manufacturers throttle (CPUs, PD Charging, Modems) like Apple consistently does?

You can't make those ungodly profits off of an intelligent customer base.

An adult assessment of the facts indicate an incredibly gullible customer base
o Is the sole reason for Apple's ungodly profits

FACTS:
o In addition to the aforementioned repair/throttling games Apple pulls on its customer...

We've already proven Apple is all marketing and no R&D to speak of.
o Does it surprise you Apple spends less in R&D (proportionate to revenue) than similar tech companies?

We've also long ago proven Apple's claims on battery life complete BS.
o Every Apple iPhone model tested vastly overstated battery life claims
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/Q-x-uIzovg4>

We've proven Apple admitted PURPOSEFULLY lowering the life of iPhones.
o Apple agrees to pay 25 million euros fine as Apple admits "Apple committed the crime of deceptive commercial practice by omission"
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/l6gAjvW6aqQ>

And, related to rec.photo.digital, iPhones barely scrape into the top 10:
o DXOMark Mobile Phone Camera Quality of Results (the best known smarphone camera output QOR known to date)
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/VhGjiYFOBXY>

There's absolutely no app functionality on iOS that isn't already on Android.
o Is there any software functionality in the new iPhone 11 that isn't already in an average 5-year old Android phone?

And, dollar for dollar, iPhone hardware is deficient to Android flagships:
o Does the best price:performance choice in any common consumer electronics device NOT get better, faster, and CHEAPER over time?
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/eSudn2SUkws>

Yet, we agree Apple, has the finest MARKETING organization on the planet:
o What is the most brilliant marketing move Apple ever made?
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/wW-fu0jsvAU>

In summary, the only way Apple can make those ungodly profits...(IMHO)
o Are off an incredibly ignorant (i.e., shockingly gullible) customer base

The apologists are like flat earthers in that facts DESTROY their beliefs.
