A part installed in a phone should just work. Ever since we invented interchangeable parts in the 1800s, parts have been swappable between products. Software shouldn’t be an obstacle to harvesting parts, or using aftermarket parts for that matter. The entire economy of reuse depends on interoperability, from local repair shops to large scale refurbishers to recyclers.

And now everyone can reap the benefits! In addition to obvious compatibility advantages, the new USB-C port can provide 4.5 watts of power to external devices. That’s a massive 15x upgrade over previous Lightning phones, which can only output 0.3 watts. This part is manufactured with TSMC’s cutting-edge 3nm process, and is unlikely to be beaten by anything else anytime soon as Apple simply bought out the entirety of TSMC’s capacity for the year. Rumors are that yield on this new process are still quite low, making this a particularly expensive part. I just wanna thank you for doing that work. Seems incredible to me that you write such an extensive article about repairability of devices. I really appreciate it and I do hope Apple will do better. Despite their anticompetitive behavior I always am drawn to their new products because I just like how they look and how the os works. Thanks for helping me getting a full picture Reducing the mass at the perimeter, which the change from stainless steel to titanium has done, has definitely reduced the moment of inertia more than a uniform reduction in mass would have. And that will make the 15 Pro easier to manipulate and will contribute—at least somewhat—to the impression of lightness.” Dr. DrangNotorious for charting their own course, convincing Apple to change direction takes a monumental amount of pressure. Our Right to Repair advocacy has already applied some such pressure, and Apple’s now selling service parts and posting repair manuals. But even we couldn’t convince them to switch to a standard port—it took the European Parliament to force that particular change. Parts pairing in these models extends beyond mere mechanical compatibility, requiring authentication and pairing through Apple’s System Configuration tool, further limiting genuine replacements to Apple-blessed ones and substantially impacting independent repair enterprises and the overarching issue of e-waste. You could use a large, flat sheet of sturdy cardboard instead. Lightly score it with a craft knife to divide it into four sections, then fold it into a box and tape together. In July 2020, it was rumored that Apple might add a periscope telephoto lens to a future iPhone. Periscope lenses have been around for a while, and they neatly sidestep the size problems traditional telephoto lenses have.

A craft knife may be the easiest tool for cutting the hole, but should only be used with adult supervision, as it is very sharp. The glasses can add one foot (or 30.5cm) on to the wearer's normal eye-level. They look, erm, great! IMAGE: Dominic WilcoxStill, it's really the same as just taking a photo and cropping it later. You aren’t getting true magnification, and there will always be a loss in image quality as you zoom in further.
