| Apple kills iPhone 8 functions after servicing Punishing users who dared not to use its servicing team The outfit which claims it cares for its users more than Facebook, Apple, has been killing off touch functionality in iPhone 8s for those who dared to use an outside person to fix their broken screens. Apple released iOS 11.3 at the end of March which removes touch functions in iPhone 8s repaired with some aftermarket screens that worked before the update. Aakshay Kripalani, CEO of Injured Gadgets, a Georgia-based retailer and repair shop said that means that people who broke their phone and dared to get it repaired by anyone other than Apple are having a hard time using their phone. It also means that rather than blaming Apple and its booby-trapped iOS update, customers are blaming the outside workshops and taking them back. "This has caused my company over 2,000 reshipments. Customers are annoyed, and it seems like Apple is doing this to prevent customers from doing 3rd party repair", Kripalani said. https://fudzilla.com/news/mobile/460...fter-servicing |
