Apple uses water damaged boards in Apple refurbished devices Video

The independent repair community gets a lot of criticism to the tune of "only Apple is 'qualified' to repair Apple products." This creates the impression that when you choose to pursue any kind of warranty replacement at Apple that the refurbished device you are getting is superior to what you might get if you just took your device to be repaired at your local quality independent repair shop.

This might not always be true, and consumers deserve the right to know what they are getting. Here we see an Apple refurbished iPad mini that was sold by Apple despite water damaged components on the board, and no longer conforming to the original design at the power management chip, plus evidence of excess heat on the board.

It failed due to common drop damage that an original board would not be susceptible to because of underfill on the PMIC chip.

We are seeing a lot of touch ic problems in iPhone 6/6+ Apple refurbs in addition to original Apple devices. If a cracked screen phone that has had a drop is returned to Apple for out of warranty replacement, the refurb process does not change the touch ic chip, and therefore the refurb phone is particularly susceptible to touch ic problems since the board has already been subject to drop. We are seeing many examples of people with touch ic problems that take the phone to Apple and pay the $299 out of warranty exchange just to have the same thing happen to their refurb replacement phone.

They could have just had their original phone addressed at independent repair to have a new touch ic soldered on the board robustly, for much less.

If you think that Apple repair is always superior to independent repair---think again.

About the Site 🌐

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥

Origins of the Idea 🌱

The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠

Challenges Faced 🤔

Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.

Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍

Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️

The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.

About YouTube 📺

YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟

Content and Users 🎵

Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.

While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.

Monetization and Impact 🤑

YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.

As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
