Company Apple has always fought against unauthorized repairs of its hardware products that use counterfeit parts and pass them off as originals. It also stands in opposition to the so-called "right to repair", which applies not only in many countries of the United States, and actively opposes unauthorized services. This action plays to one side in favor of consumers who like it Apple they try to ensure quality and branded parts, on the other hand, such a service is a bit more expensive.

One of the manifestations of this struggle of the Cupertino company is its repeated efforts to cancel one Norwegian establishment. Apple tried it for the first time last year. Lawyers Applu sent Henrik Huseby, the owner of a small electronics repair shop, a letter asking him to stop repairing iPhone displays and also to provide financial compensation. The repair shop called PCKompaniet is in the crosshairs Applu received after Norwegian customs officers intercepted a shipment of counterfeit displays for iPhone 6 to iPhone 6s. Although it might seem that PCKompaniet has no say in this dispute,anci, Norwegian laws surprisingly played in his favor and Apple disputeonec lost. Among the key points that worked in Huseby's favor was the fact that he did not try to present the counterfeit pieces as genuine. Although the pieces had logos Applu, but it was not visible to the end customer, so the Norwegian court did not consider it misleading.

Apple but he did not want to give up even after a year and filed an appeal against the original decision. This was heard and the case will be heard again in a higher court in Norway. Huseby's lawyer noted that the displays that Huseby used contained some original parts, but they were combined with non-branded ones - these included, for example, the display glass. However, the displays were not advertised as original, but as refurbished. The defense further states that goods are not considered counterfeit if their logos are covered with paint.
The displays were not counterfeit, but originals assembled from non-functioning iPhones, with the logo painted over apple he didn't even have an excuse to liquidate the service company by accusing someone of forgery.
What if Apple put into circulation original spare parts, service pack, how does Samsung do it, for example? He would certainly make a loss on the sale of spare parts. :)
But if people are going to repair their phones, they won't buy new ones, right?
Well, yes, but they fix them anyway Appnothing comes of it. That's how he does such stupid things. For the authorized service, they only supply batteries and LCD displays anyway. They won't let them do anything else. In case it was just a wrong konewhich, anyway, the technician prefers to write, swap for a new unit, whatever I think, right apple it costs more than just replacing a separate konewhich. But it's their policy, as you wrote. They must try to sell their "innovated" new devices. :)
Fight for me with overpriced ishit from AppI couldn't do what I wanted and I didn'tchat Can I fix it anywhere I want? Great, that's what I always wanted.
no one forces you to buy products from applol, if you don't have the guts to do that, don't comment and don't be ridiculous to other readers.
Does a different opinion matter? Svoboda words buddy!
I'm not an expert, could you please explain to me what it can do? iPhone for 30 extra compared to a "regular" competing device for (let's say) 10?
I don't understand your thought processes... If I buy something, it's mine and I can do whatever I want with it - maybe notchat fix where I want.
I have changed the battery several times already. iPhonech and some other parts too, e.g. a faulty microphone. The fact that he would want us to Apple I certainly wouldn't call a tick an improvement in customer service.
Disparaging someone else's opinion, but no arguments. Target Apple at the same time, it is clear - consumer control that will allow artificial price increases. Either he will have money from the service or from the consumer (new phone).
As far as I know, HW from Apple is not licensed - the user can do (almost) whatever he wants with it. The exception will be reverse engineering, which of course refers to intellectual property, which is "wired" into the HW, not the "iron" itself.
If that Apple it bothers you, you can add a chip to the displays and the SW can check that the display is "original Apple"otherwise it won't run. And of course to the battery, camera and God knows what else. Then it will be so terribly expensive that even a rich iman will have to think about what he is actually paying for.
Despite the fact that he might turn out not even to be alone Apple occasionally does not use “origial Apple" parts!
You are a real idiot... If someone disagrees with the trade policy Applu is like a statue and doesn't have the means to Iphone bought???
The never-ending struggle for absolute control of his sheep. I'm quite surprised that you haven't been sick of that attitude for a long time. But as they say, a golden cage is a golden cage.
Perhaps the only accurate and short comment 1*
Ancient you are a socka and a decent patient. A person doesn't have to have a 30-klapka mobile phone to look good, nowadays every immigrant from Africa has one, so who is the socka then?
I don't understand why people can't have a choice. Applu: either pay outrageous amounts of money for an authorized service or less for an unauthorized one. Choice. Everyone would bear the consequences themselves... This hand-holding is terrible
But people have a choice. I can buy a device from apple with the fact that I agree to the conditions of repairs and the like, or I can buy a device from another company that does not have such conditions.;-)
That's not an option. When I know that my cable is going to break, Macbook(I need MacOS) whose repair will cost around a hundred crowns including labor or Apple offers to exchange for tens of thousands so what? I'll use the cheaper option... That's a choice, ok I'll lose the warranty, never mind...
:D yes, it's like a choice to drown or burn. Hiding ripping off customers under "better service" is exactly style Apple.
I don't deny that the service is expensive, but then again, so are all branded services. That apple he does not want to freely sell his original spare parts is his choice and right. However, the service has some added value. Over the past few years, I have changed the battery of devices a few times, and after about six months to a year with non-original ones, the capacity started to drop (about 3 different batteries) and the other one started to inflate. Then I once had the battery replaced at an authorized service center and the quality of the original vs. non-original is incomparable.
I don't have such a terrible experience with neorigo flashlights. On the contrary, the only battery that ever blew up in my iPhone was the original one.
How is that not an option? Equally Apple he has the choice of how he will sell his products, so you have the choice not to buy them. And that it's expensive is just an excuse. Don't buy if you don't want. Apple he doesn't have to produce it either, but he does and he set his own conditions, I don't understand how you can have the audacity to dictate to them how to sell it. They are obviously successful, so they don't need any advice.
In the same way, you can start producing some goods and no one will bother you about the conditions you set for sale.
I don't like it either, so no iphone I don't have any, why not, you have the choice to buy something else.
Kind of crazy right? I live in the UK and there are a lot of unauthorized services here. I even often see a person with a banner standing right in front Apple Store with the inscription (iPhone repairs right next door) and I don't know that they would object to them apple he fought
Apple, we will beat you to the bone!
Further, it is written somewhere how a company tries to win a contract through a practice that violates the rules of economic competition. But that you are Apple creates a worldwide service monopoly, no one cares.
It is true that no one is forcing anyone to buy anything. Still, it's pretty fun to watch a dumbass Apple-sheep, at any cost Apple leading with his steadfast argument: "If you can't afford it, don't buy it."
I'm not saying that all products Applu are not bad considering their price, but in many ways they are Apple his behavior reminds us of our Czech "scoundrels".
A JACK is screaming again.
Fuck the whole thing Applem ...
Rather, I think the point is that you Apple he created a precedent, which he would then use extensively... But in common sense, it's really stupid, because let everyone do what they want with their device, for example after the warranty
I know you'll hate me but I don't care and it's a big deal Which of the people is pulling unimaginable money for several reasons, repairs are overpriced, a disaster, exactly as some people write here, the majority. Such iPhone X with a demented resolution, not even full HD, will be argued forever and measured with Samsung S9 etc. Samsung is better, always has been and will be, no eternal 3D Marks with demented resolution. Consider what display the competition produces, much better and cheaper mobile phones. That's just how it is and will be, Apple in life, not even if I have to buy it for my daughter because I bought my son a Samsung S10 the day before yesterday. I'm waiting for the Samsung Note 10. My wife has Samsung Galaxy 9 and the daughter will have iPhone XS because there are only two iPhones with better resolution but none as a competitor and here we are again, stupid price, inadequate performance, etc. Apple j state in the state and last week I had a different opinion and the few thousand people who think they are in compared to the competition where there are 50 times more users is laughable
You hate her and you're shitting here anyway... I also come here to read and I don't agree with everything, but I have to respond to you.
Will my daughter know the difference between the display and the iphone and samsung? No. It's enough for it to make calls, last a day on a charge, take good photos and, if necessary, shoot nice 4k video at 60fps. If you're looking for an innovator, samsung isn't it. It's currently pulling Oneplus, the only phone without a stupid notch, cross-section or other crap that would ruin the impression of the phone. Samsung should have stuck to its type of phone but it's still following the trend and 3 shitty phones
I'm not apple fans, but I wonder what innovation that one brought oneplus? I would say none at all. Or is it an innovation that it doesn't have a cutout? Yes, the pro version has a pop-up selfie camera, but the Samsung A80 also has that, for example.
Sorry but you are the same as the one you are cursing at. If you didn't curse, didn't use words like "shit", but wrote a normal criticism, it would be ok, your choice to buy a Samsung, but if you are cursing at something else you are the same shit as a sheep applol….
I agree with Mr. Dušan. No need to comment further. Same experience.
I don't agree, I've been using Android for a long time and I have to say I wouldn't want it again. It's true that Apple the products are a lot of track, but really high quality, but if you look at samsung's flagships, there is no such difference in terms of price. Apple does not produce x type of mobile every month like the competition. Otherwise, it would not be serviceable Apple elsewhere than in an authorized service is nonsense
What are you crying about, people, if you protect it better and don't act like a demented person, so you don't have to service anything other than the batteries, but what's the use of foil or tempered glass, what's the use of a protective case anyway? and then you cry about how expensive the parts are in the authorized service, if you are stupid, I hope you have the device to protect and not treat it like a beast
And what if something just goes away on its own and after the warranty? You didn't think of that? No, did you?
When you buy a new car from an official dealer and notchatIf you repair it outside of an authorized service center during the warranty period, you will also lose the warranty... Is someone cursing at car manufacturers?
No, you won't come, there is a law that has been in force for about 20 years.
I also wrote after the warranty.
Look who's taking the new Huawei, Samsung, Apple and put a silicone cover and a protective glass on it, it will kill the crisp design, the premium look is also gone.. and last but not least, and I have to mention this while I'm here.. you're showing them that you're into that iPhone seYou've been playing for a few months or years and now you're afraid that your glass will break and you won't have the money to repair it... what's the point then? iPhone like a brand when you wrap it in plastic and stick it on the glass... that's just a brand.. hey I have iPhone and I can't break it otherwise it won't be repairable... LUL :D
Well, that will be a problem file u Apple and with his product complaint. Here I was watching Linus and Antony fixing the iMac 2018 and Apple He charged them more for the display board than for a new one. iMac proYou wrote to them that the repair would be more expensive than a new iMac, so they bought another unrepairable iMac and made it into a working one. The summary was that Apple throws sticks at everyone who tries to repair the product by themselves, which wouldn't be such a problem if you.. as I wrote Apple it didn't cost the same as a new iMac for a motherboard and display set... and these two parts according to the numbers Apple they come out to $2800 apple wanted twice as much…
Agree, this service policy Applu is bad, I don't like it either. And it's stupid. In my opinion, you're Apple it only harms.
And it's up to consumers to let him know.
