Great video Hugh, I agree with your thoughts on Apple activation locks. If only...

4:37 "to ensure our new seal will be seated in correctly" sounded a lot like "seated incorrectly" for a moment. Gave me a good laugh!

Nice restorations - you got a good deal there. Shame about the iCloud activation locks though. I wonder if there is anything that could be done to bypass the Apple iCloud locks? it would certainly help make all those locked devices you have, semi-functional (even if not fully functional).

I totally understand your point of view regarding the activation lock, but take into account that the current activation lock essentially kills the stolen phone market. This is specially important for countries with really high crime rates. Still they can salvage the parts but not the phone as a whole, and this essentially helps to keep your information safe and your phone from ever being sold again after being stolen. The only thing I would change is to add easily accesible contact info so that the owner could potentially unlock the device for the purposes you propose while still keeping the phones away from the stolen market.

@kenmastersmaster

Жыл бұрын

No it doesn't protect shit. Anybody can sell you a phone then report it stolen 6 months later to get insurance money, even if you legit paid for the phone, then it becomes blacklisted. If you want your info safe, a reset will delete all your information. So there's nothing to worry about there. Icloud is straight BS

These video's are always so satisfying to watch :)

Hugh, loved the video and tips. Your Apple solution was stellar. Brilliant.

5:36 That shift in tone.

If Apple really cared for the environment, they would allow TouchID and FaceID replacement (with full functionality again) for independent repair providers. Same thing for the replacement and repair of batteries, displays and cameras, repairs that return full functionality without those pesky warning messages or crippling them.

Hi Hugh why don’t you try the new checkrain jailbreak method to remove activation lock and some methods have paid FMI OFF function to remove old Apple ID from the device so you can fully unlock the iPhone until iPhone X.

2:21 It is actually because in 2018 Apple accidentally resigned every single version of iOS, but only for a few minutes. So many people were downgrading to iOS 9 that the activation servers became overloaded, causing errors when activating iPhones on iOS 9. Apple has not fixed this issue since then to try and force people to upgrade to a newer version of iOS.

hey man i have seen all your video, you do a quiet good job ,had a question what you do with these all repaired ones?

Great video, I noticed a few days ago that my 6s on iOS 9.3.5 suddenly asked for reactivation, I was wondering why this happened but thankfully it did successfully reactivate without forcing me to update. It's crazy to what extent Apple goes to force people to update.

Hugh, sometimes the RSoD on the iPhone 5s is caused by the front camera or battery. One time I had a 5s that had the RSoD but the cable on the battery was damaged and when I put in a new battery and unplugged the front camera it turned on. So keep in mind that some RSoD iPhone 5s is caused by the front camera, not the NAND Flash Storage on the board.

13:01 I was expecting this to happen as soon as you put this adhesive remover on a fully assembled iPhone.

The adhesive tape under the battery should only be pulled slowly and gradually, because if it breaks, it's difficult to remove the battery, you have to use a separate tool to pull it under the battery, but just be careful not to bend the battery because it can explode, it's a bit difficult and complicated, but only with enough knowledge and experience, anything is possible, all praises for the video, I learned a lot of things👍🏻

Every time you bring up the iCloud Lock story, I always feel down. I wish it could be reworked to be better, as not to create more e-waste as it is, but the incentive for more profit always will be there, which sucks. It means we'll lead to a future that might not be as bright as we can hope to be.

Excellent video Hugh as ever, love your channel. However this is a rare time I’m going to disagree with you about activation lock. It is a complete pain if someone genuinely did intend to sell their phone and forgot to unlock it, but otherwise the beauty is it takes a massive incentive away from anyone hoping to steal a phone. I’m not saying it would stop them entirely, but it does provide a huge disincentive because by design it cannot be removed without the owners consent. Even a 90 day grace period would make the phone hugely more valuable to thieves willing to bide their time. So for me, it has to stay, as annoying it can be for the wrong reasons. A better solution might be better software integration, for example a UI prompt if someone tries to reset their phone asking them what they’re planning to do and suggesting they may wish to disable activation lock and better still provide some suggestions for avoiding the phone becoming e waste.

I have an iPhone 6 that's having problems charging - the problem is likely the charge port since the cable works in other devices - and these videos help illustrate how relatively easy it is to repair. I want to fix it to use as a backup (if something happens to my newer phone or I want one I can travel with and worry slightly less if it's damaged).

That 5s looks like it may have a problem with the front facing camera. Some years ago I got an iPhone SE that was boot looping and showed a red screen. I installed the screen from a 5s and it worked perfectly, so I just changed the front facing camera assembly and it started working perfectly

Hugh taught me how to fix iPhones. Thanks Hugh.

The home button from the 6 plus was the original but it was damaged by the water

Of your phones had some sort of mounting sticker on the back of it. I have a friend of mine he uses something very similar to that. It’s not because he wants to sit there and read his text messages and all that’s while he’s driving. He uses his phone for the GPS. So by using the mounting it allows him to be able to use a GPS and keep it at I level if he needs to glance at it.
