Kyle Wiens, iFixit:
This is the kind of tale that you don’t hear every day. Erik Wooldridge is a Systems Specialist at Morris Hospital near Chicago. During the installation of a new GE Healthcare MRI machine, he started getting calls that cell phones weren’t working. Then, some Apple Watches started glitching.
This is just an incredible read. Don’t want to give anything away, just dig in. Great story, well told.
The funny thing is that iFixit wouldn’t have nearly the prominence it does now without Apple.
Oh, iFixIt:
…no, they didn’t “admit” to it like it was a guilty crime. The user guide explains it as a user guide does.
Kyle and iFixIt always have an axe to grind when it comes to Apple, and routinely frame a narrative that it is sinister or devious.
It’s pretty hit or miss whether Ifixit will have any repair instructions for tech devices that are not made by Apple.
And invariably the instructions for non-Apple gear that they do have are user-submitted and of dramatically worse quality compared to the instructions Ifixit itself creates for every Apple device.
