This madness being displayed by iFixit is doubly disturbing. With one page iFixit has drastically reduced its credibility. Thereby allowing any company to use it as an example of why THEIR products really should not be repaired with advice and/or instruction from iFixit. Undoubtedly, there are many, many companies who are privately furious that the game of built in exclusivity/obsolescence, is finally moving into its end stage. They can claim that Oh Yes, they DO believe reducing consumer waste by allowing easier domestic repair and increasing product longevity, is a Great Idea ... But, consumers really ought to wait until THEIR company produces The Correct Models, instead of simply Attempting Dangerous Domestic Repairs/Mods. These companies can then state that naturally, in keeping with the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle ethos, what better way to help ecology in the meantime, than continuing to buy THEIR products which, decreases waiting time for the (secretly putative) release date of The Correct Model/s?

Smh

Why bother to ask me to provide a unique user name, only to use my actual name for display purposes? Has any other user had this experience on this website?

Safe, retro-fitted double battery packs are sold. These safely enable two batteries to be soundly, neatly carried contiguously and, used consecutively by the phone. I'm astounded this dangerous, disreputable, frankly insane method is being demonstrated and recommended here. No. It is inadequate and disingenuous to state this method is being shown for informative/educational purposes. That is like Tucker Carlson saying he only asks questions and, what is wrong with asking questions ... ?
