I spend most of my time
encouraging people to take
things apart & convincing
companies to make it easier
for them to do so.

I like building & rebuilding

Does it make sense to fix a VCR?

‣ It depends on who you are : Does it make
environmental sense to throw it away?

‣ Manufacturing an iPod Nano emits 68 pounds
of CO2

‣ Catch 22 : It’s expensive to ﬁx a VCR because
the expertise isn’t common, and there is little
demand for parts.

Guess what fastener is used on the inside? Not Pentalobes.


Started introducing them midway through iPhone 4 release
Caused service tool supply chain issues
Apple store employees would swap your phillips out for
Pentalobes if you brought your phone in for service.

durability!?!
Touch-based fingerprint sensors are inexpensive to
make, but the tradeoff is durability.
Because the sensor insulation layer (sapphire crystal,
in this case) has to endure sweat, sebum, water, and
all sorts of dirt – decay is inevitable.

comparing rear cameras
The one difference between the 8 MP rear-facing
cameras is the aperture. The 5c boasts an aperture
of f/2.4 compared to the f/2.2 of the 5s.

The less visibly
noticeable
difference is
weight: A greater
mass of plastic is
required to match
the strength and
durability of a
lesser mass of
aluminum. The 5c
rear case is way
heavier: 43.8 g vs
25.9 g for the 5s.

Score breakdown: iphone 5s / 5c
‣
‣

iPhone 5s Repairability: 6 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

‣

The battery is still fairly easy to access, even though it's not technically "user
replaceable."

‣

The battery has lost the 5's convenient pull tab, and gained more resilient
adhesive—it now requires heat and prying to remove.

‣

The fingerprint sensor cable could be easily ripped out of its socket if a user is
not careful while opening the phone. (iPhone 5S only)

‣

The iPhone 5s still uses Pentalobe screws on the exterior, making the 5s
difficult to open.

‣

The front glass, digitizer, and LCD are all one component, thereby increasing
cost of rep

Just like in the iPhone 5, the display assembly is the first component out of the
phone, simplifying screen replacements.
