@ 2022/05/2679 pounds of tools to fix a battery
When Apple agreed to create DIY repair kits there were some of us who thought the outfit’s heart may not be in it.
We expected that Jobs Mob would make using the kit such an effort that Apple fanboys would consider it too hard and give up. Apple would then say that no one was interested in Self Repair and wind the operation down
Practically it works like this, Apple insists that the job is done using its own tools. So it sends users all the tools it thinks they will need to do the job and then they have to send it back.
While this may not sound so bad to replace an Apple battery, Jobs Mob sends you two huge tool boxes in two giant Pelican cases. To be fair Apple is paying to send them both ways but it does make the entire operation look incredibly daunting.
