now even back glass is serialized , at least you do not need MFI chip in a USB-C cable

excellent as always

Watching you remove that back glass made me so nervous. The bend on the pro max removing it just was not there in your 15 vanilla tear down. I have the 15 pro max so my heart started to race. Thought this might be the year I’d go caseless…nope! Think I need an otter box defender series on this one.

Surprised iFixIt went through the front to remove the battery. Everyone else I’ve seen do it removed the back at the same time and just pushed the battery out through the center hole.

Guys, you've done it. You've actually listened to my feedback that I made years ago regarding the repairability rubric. The serialized parts being a part of the repairability score should have been a thing. I'm glad to see it finally implemented and see you guys swapping parts around from different iPhones to see which part is serialized and which one isn't. Thank you so much, iFixIt. This is one more step closer to teaching people that serialized parts are a travesty to Right to Repair.

Technically speaking apple is not doing "parts pairing" they are just not storing calibration information directly on each part but rather storing it server side. Apples defence for this will be theft protection, by only providing the profile to your phone if that parts is not assigned to another phone they can stop you using stolen parts. Using stolen parts is not what Right to Repair is about.

I would have given it a 2. While yes, the parts are physically swappable, I cannot agree that they are "replaceable" due to apple's intentional software pairing of components. This means that I can't just buy a part off the shelf and put it in my own iphone without interacting with apple directly.

They have known that for decades already. Companies don't want you to repair anything because they earn a lot less money if you stop coming back to their overpriced repair services. It is not that they are unaware about the fact people want a phone that could easly get serviced anywhere. They just prioritize profits. The only thing that comes to mind that could change this fairly quickly is new EU regulations requiring that all phones should be serviceable without any software locks and replacement hardware should be sold to non Apple repair shops at a reasonable price.

You can replace it you just cant replace it with parts salvage from another device. Apple moved calibrate profiles to be stored server side a few years ago, this means that if you have a part that has never been used on another device booting into diagnostic mode will result in apples servers providing you with the calibration profile needed but using a part from another device just results in them thinking you are using a stolen part. What apple should do here is let you use these parts so long as the phone they used to be connected to has not been flagged as stolen/iCloud locked. Not letting you use parts that are suspected of being stolen is important as this massively reduces the value of stealing a phone.
