Thanks for the feedback -- though I must note that it's not a commercial. We understand that the vast majority of Slashdot community owns a smartphone, and our readers are more opinionated and have more far wider expertise and knowledge about computing products and how different technologies work. This has also led us to believe that many of us, if not all, try not to run to a repair center everytime our device dies on us, or causes some sort of trouble. Which is why we deemed iFixit's report on how repairable a particular device is, as worthy of being something that would interest our readers. But again, let me assure you that we hear you, and take your feedback very seriously. If many readers share a similar opinion as of yours, we assure you that we would curtail, if not completely stop approving such content.
I agree with you, too.

Thanks for the feedback, sir. I have edited the story to add what the LG G5 is, and when it was launched.
This made me laugh out loud. :)
It's real. We aren't posting prank stories, for the record.
truer words have never been spoken before
Heh.
Oops. Have fixed it now -- thanks for pointing it out!
Should have seen this coming :-)
No.
My bad. Thanks for pointing it out. Have removed that bit.
