How This iPhone Got FIXED!

Fixed was an odd word choice...

 

Recovered
Saved

Redeemed

 

Idk... just not fixed.

And the disconnect between titles and content grows larger.

Bruh it got fixed by a human being

What's wrong with [open] software encryption on a microsd card, for example? If you remember the password, and can take out the card and place in into another phone, then you can recover it. Instead, buyers lock themselves out by buying hardware with T2 chips. Most of them actually do not know and do not care about encryption. I wonder if encryption chip was optional for an extra payment, how many would still purchase it. 

 

The video shows the complicated systems of those encryption chips, how difficult it is to recover data, like it were the way it should be. I still believe that the reason for this type of hardware complication is preventing the repairs, buying new gadgets and so on.

Can someone tell me why the "Flight Recorder Data" for a crashed plane was stored on a friggin iPad?

What is "Flight Recorder Data" anyways? The new black box?

the only case where that could happen is general avation/small aircraft. they don't have black boxes because they are too large and heavy

like how he didn't call out his sponsor backblaze as an option to back everything up

They didn't sponsor that video...

Probably the highest volume of devices they get, being in the US.

Expect a threatening communiqué from Apple sometime soon :P

 

They dont like people telling others that you can infact recover data form apple products that apple themselves have said cant be done.

yep. That video is some next level shilling. Sorry this is pure unreflected advertising for Drive Savers.

Which is the reason why there is this. Literally everything that was mentioned in the video can be done by either Rossmann, Jessa (ipad rehab, video above) or both - at a fraction of the price. Jessa has videos about even the hardest recovery methods (full chip swap).

I just had an interesting conversation with their rep. I called them if they could pull the data off a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge plus. The phone is dead in that it won't power on anymore because the battery inside is bulging... to the point where the back has come off and you can see inside the phone.

 

Since the device itself is intact with no damage other than the battery it would be perfectly recoverable with just a battery swap. Unfortunately these guys won't do a battery swap, even if you offer to send in a replacement battery. Of course that's easy for them to say when they can milk you $900  for their recovery service versus the $140 cost (at most) just to do a battery swap.

 

The problem with sending in a smartphone to Samsung is that they will wipe the phone when they do a battery swap and I don't need my data deleted. The same is true for Apple when I had the same battery problem with my old iPhone - they gave me back a working device but everything on it was gone.

 

This is why right to repair legislation is becoming more and more important. I shouldn't have to attempt a tricky battery swap myself when a repair shop can do it. But that same repair shop (or manufacturer) has no reason to wipe the data off a phone when the only defect is the battery. Makes you wish they went back to older phone designs with removable batteries and removable storage.

Here wo go again (also see comment by Rossmann):

 

 

I am really disappointed that this topic and the sponsored LTT video triggers no critical discussion here at all.

[TOMPPIX]

i don't really like that Linus made a video with them, i heard that the repairs can cost 900 - 2000 which is just absurd. it sounds like they are just the kind of company apple really like, because they are just as expensive as the genius bar. which just makes it more normal for people to think that a repair should actually be really expensive, even if it is just a "simple" component level repair.

 

it would be interesting to hear what Linus thinks about right to repair.

[Dracarris]

Exactly. Sponsored videos are generally okay but this partner was chosen poorly. Additionally, it wasn't really investigative/informative but more like an elaborate ad for them

 

Here is another one regarding the matter from Louis:

 

 

 

[NeuesTestament]

As far as I can tell there still isn't a correction on the video. Have they said anything?

[GDRRiley]

as far as we know nope don't see any. unless something on twitier

It's something that they should adress. But I don't know what the contract says about putting annotations on sponsored videos.

care to link us? I cannot find anything.

[Dracarris]

So apparently this whole topic seems to interest almost no one here (people seem to like arguing about motion blur instead) which I find really sad. Anyway, for the few that still seem to care, Jessa made a video addressing the specific issue LS has also talked about in last weeks WAN show (basically saying he doesn't want to have anything to do with it and just take DS's money for the sponsored video):

 

 

Video includes a nice pinned troll comment.

There is another thread going on, which has comments by Linus, Jessa and community members:

 

As a neutral bystander, I personally am just waiting for a conclusion and not here to stir the pot.

To me, it seems like both parties are making valid claims at the moment.

thanks for the link. I don't know how I could miss this.
