​@@ageorgiev89 Yes, companies do this all the time. However, it's awful PR for them to go against their own customers who are asking for repairability, especially when huge organisations like the EU are also making efforts towards that goal. That's pretty much just telling customers to jump ship to another brand.

It is impressive work, but instead of needing more people like this, we should forcing companies like Apple, to just do this in the first place. What’s infuriating is how easy Apple could have made this completely repairable from the get go. They actively chose not to, for profit, instead of the environment, which completely contradicts their “environmental friendly” statements.

If you could use Hex Screws or Torx screws it would look even cooler. I believe there's Torx in a size similar that are used for pocket knives

The Face ID is a better LiDAR Scanner then the LiDAR Scanner. And I’m sure the Face ID scanner is from iPhone X to 12 the same. I think there are some apps to utilize that scanner like Heges.

Amazing work! This also reminds us how highly skilled engineers work at apple (no hate on them, they follow management requirements)

Nice video man!!!

This is crazy cool, and smart. If only apple had you employed. I did notice one thing I think you could have done, maybe indent the crews a bit and place a plastic or rubber matting to cover up the crew or make a very thin cover or shorts, cheap easy to remove and still reparable. But I'm no engineer so do your best work 👍

This is fantastic, thanks Ken! I successfully got mine apart, aside from the gasket that surrounds the black part being slightly damaged, but this is going to be amazing for those of us who want more flexibility, regardless of whether we're successful or not. Sadly I can't modify my main pair, since they're Magsafe, but that's ok, I'll be happy with this set.

WHAT A DUUUDE. Great vid, great intro, 11/10 skills. Dog bless

I fully agree, bring back the screw look! It would be amazing if you could modify an iPhone to have a user removable battery, expandable storage and a headphone jack!

Every revolution starts with someone putting one foot in front of another. It takes the brave to take those first small steps: litigation / inertia / the desire for a peaceful life; there are endless persuasions to leave well alone. It's really something, to start watching a tech walk-through and to end realising you've just watched an act of bravery. Thank you.
