iFixit tested already what you can and cannot replace on an iPhone 14 here:

Maybe the person in the video missed something?
"Back Glass + Wireless Charging Coil
Functional: No adverse effects have been reported thus far."
We can now correct this to say that pictures taken with the flash will no longer be saved.
They must really hold the quality of their devices to such a high standard, that even people who would willingly accept the "risk" of installing third-party components (or first-party from the manufacturer!), can't install the parts in their phones because it'll cause problems.
Not to mention the software Apple uses to "link" each part in a phone together so it removes issues like this is closed source and not really available to anybody so even if you did replace parts yourself you still can't use them!
They call themselves green and climate friendly, but it doesn't seem so friendly when you can't even re-use components from other phones that are broken to fix yours!
Geez, TikTok (basically) content on HN...

this gives you a normal looking youtube page
I wish you could scrobble through a video - it's more frustrating on Youtube because you always could and now all of a sudden you can't, and now videos 60 seconds or less get auto-converted into shorts (from what I've understood). Very annoying.
Whoever designed this knew what they were doing on an addictions/product/customer retainment level because it sure wasn't a usability/UI engineer that made this decision.
- Heavily edited to remove pauses so that the whole video sounds like one long sentence.
- Always shot vertically.
- Every. Word. Appearing. In. The. Middle. Of. The. Screen. As. Its. Spoken.
Sorry for the tangential rant.
Could you imagine consuming normal content that way (e.g. HN threads)? That would be anxiety inducing (and honestly, these types of videos are probably causing some level of anxiety to some people without them even realizing it).
you mean vertically?
I appreciate the brevity. I hate videos that are longer than necessary. I really hate the videos that are about 10 minutes long (the advertising sweet spot), containing content that could have been delivered in 30-45 seconds without all of the "like", "subscribe", how they're feeling that day, etc.
Yes, there is fluff content that isn't necessary and can be cut out to make the video (in some cases, much) shorter.
What I'm talking about is the video equivalent to "wall of text" -- talking with zero pauses (because all pauses have been edited out).
The aggression, quick cuts, single word subtitles...
I don't understand the appeal of this style. I wonder how people will look back at this era of video editing in 10 years.
In 10 years something even more horrible will be hip and tiktok'ers will be whatever dated slang there is for big yikes.
Did they heat it up so much that it can't be taken off without being broken?
Assuming it is proven true, this is unlike other attempts at crippling repairs from Apple as it's affecting behavior that is completely unrelated to the replaced module(the flash being implementable as a passive component). I wonder if the lawsuit against HP for disabling scanning when low on ink could set a precedent usable against this.
searlized? srsly?
> no logical reason why apple does this
How can he be serious
If making an iCloud-locked iPhone and all of its parts useless is what it takes to make pickpocketing not worth it, i'm all for it.
