Pretty sure that AppleCare Plus covers screen breakage.
If someone wants to be cheap and not purchase coverage and, instead, go to a 3rd party âoeafter-marketâ repair dealer...oh well.
It's just choosing which risks to take -- the money for AppleCare would be wasted if you don't break your phone during its validity, right?
Of course, it's just mean from Apple to break working products afterwards. I mean, if the thing doesn't work right after you get the screen switched, then you can always complain to those who replaced it, and probably get compensated. But if it stops working several months afterwards, because Apple decided to issue a kill switch?
And yes, I'm salty here, since I got my screen of a 6S replaced after-market -- and Touch ID stopped working about half a year later. I have no way to prove if the events are related, but it seems very suspicious, and will make me consider very hard if I want another Apple product the next time I buy a new phone.
Why would anyone go for aftermarket repairs when the device is still under warranty? They arent even a year old!
How much does warranty help if you break the screen yourself? Of course it would void the warranty, but I can imagine people would take that risk to save some money...
Who wants websites running arbitrary C code on their machines? C is a real programming language. Probably the flagship used for most of the software you buy. It is powerful and widely known. So why let any old website that you visit execute code, probably in the background, on their own machine?
Even the C is compiled into wasm bytecode, which has its limitations -- basically the same as running JavaScript on your browser right now from what I understood. It's not like you're executing pure machine code like ActiveX or something.
I mean, how many people use the fancy "multimedia" keys on a keyboard?
I've no idea about the "how many", but I know that I do use them! Although only the volume buttons for their original purpose; the others I've reconfigured to start terminals and other software... On the other hand, my mouse (trackball, actually) only has the two buttons and a clickable wheel...
