Apple has never like its customers to repair the failed device. Apple's mobile phone and laptop require special tools to turn on and repairs, if users replace components through third parties or self-replacement components, can cause some of the functions of the phone to be disabled. The reason why this harsh measures are taken because users who are self-contained not only affect the revenue of maintenance services, but also affect the enthusiasm of users with new and new models.
In order to monopolize the maintenance market, Apple's original maintenance technology is always mysterious. Therefore, Apple may be annoyed with 11 videos that appear on YouTube yesterday.
These videos seem to show the official detection and maintenance process of iPhone and iPad. Most importantly, the video also includes special equipment for disassembly and repair, which is the patented design of Apple itself, manufactured by Apple, not for sale.
Apple has not commented on the authenticity of these videos, but the video displayed Apple's copyright information, and two DIY repair forum users close to Apple said to Motherboard, which is indeed the video inside the Apple to train employees to carry out equipment maintenance. Video .

Motherboard believes that these videos are interesting from them that they are very likely to be Apple's maintenance video, but they are compared with third-party maintenance merchants and DIY repair enthusiasts. Apple Technical Experts in the video The steps of disassembling the iPhone X with the item maintenance skills sharing service platform IFIXIT is very similar, and the tools used are quite close to the ISCLACK toolkit sold for IFIXIT. This means that DIY repair enthusiasts launched a full set of maintenance flows in the absence of reference information.
Currently, eleven videos on YouTube has been deleted and uploaded these videos of YouTube account arman haji is suspended. The YouTube blogger said that he saw these videos from a Twitter account. After this Twitter account was stopped, he was uploaded to YouTube for the psychology shared. But Apple must be unwilling to spread on the Internet - this will lead to third-party maintenance people to easily imitate Apple's official maintenance, which in turn has lost its competitiveness.
This video leak also triggered another round of discussion: Does Apple's large factory have the right to use hardware design to impede user-friendly mobile phones and computers? Environmental Organization accuses such actions will cause users to repair the willingness to reduce, and more inclined to buy new products, indirectly leading to decrease in electronic products, spreading electronic waste. More consumers are worried about the monopoly on the market makes them pay for higher pricing.
As of March 2018, there were 18 state councils in the United States to include the "Maintenance Right" proposal into the agenda. This proposal will require manufacturers to provide products to the public, and to users or third-party maintenance merchants for sale and replacement parts. If this proposal is passed, this will mean that the monopoly of the large factory is broken.
