TL;DR: a repair shop owner from Germany managed to create a tool to calibrate the display angle sensor (used to trigger sleeping on Macs when the lid is closed)

    Not releasing calibration tools and such is not “Anti repair” that’s just “not pro repair”

    Not pro repair is anti repair. Making it hard to fix the shit you own by obfuscating what you have to do to fix it is anti repair.

    If they didn’t obfuscate it there would be many tools out there already to let it be done. Also, basically every other laptop doesn’t have these random calibration issues. Why would Apple be so unique?

    Design wise, Apple is not trying to hold you back, they just do not give a fuck if you can repair anything they build.

    They literally serial lock almost half of their parts.
