I don't get it. You paid a full amount for that device. You can do whatever you want with it. These tactics are ridiculous.
Hmmmm. Step 1: Buy new car Step 2: Replace engine with something other than OEM. Step 3: Complain when car's ECU does not run engine.
1. But new car
2. Replace broken windshield with something other than OEM
3. Complain when car refuses to start because its computer detected a non OEM windshield.

But even if it wasn't, it's not entirely outrageous to predicate continued software support on some terms. The only problem then would be not making those terms clear up-front.

It was not done intentionally. They simply don't QA their releases on repaired phones (because why would they?). The touchscreens in question highly likely use an older touchscreen controller from a previous iPhone. These controllers don't support certain commands that evidently they are now using. As far as the lightning connectors go, that WAS done intentionally. The third party lightning connectors generally don't…
>(because why would they?) Because a company understands their product in the field and cares about what effect a change might have. Now is that cost justified? arguably no.
I see a company like Tesla taking the same approach.
Apple, I get it. I get why you do it. But seriously, this retroactive punishing of prior 3rd-party purchases is asinine. I had purchased multiple lightning cables from Anker (a very reputable brand), and had one of the iOS 11.x updates basically render them useless. Apple's product support is not fast enough, nor pervasive enough (to say nothing of cheap enough), to justify this behavior. Edited for clarity

This seems closer to: 1. But new car 2. Replace broken windshield with something other than OEM 3. Complain when car refuses to start because its computer detected a non OEM windshield.

Step 1: Buy a new car
Step 2: Replace engine with something other than OEM
Step 2.33: Car runs fine
Step 2.66: Manufacturer comes to your house and 'fixes' your ECU while you're asleep
Step 3: Complain when car's ECU does not run engine

That's not true. https://support.apple.com/en-lamr/aasp-program
This isnt the sale of parts to people that wish to buy them, its a very stringent certification program that very few are going to meet the requirements for, and requires you do things like "Actively promote the Apple brand as part of their business along with AppleCare service and support products." "Service Providers are required to use Apple Certified Macintosh Technicians when conducting diagnostics, Covered Repa…

Plus, for TouchID enabled phones you MUST have a special rig in order to re-pair the sensor, and for FaceID you have to have a special rig to re-calibrate the sensor stack every time you open the device!

This is 100% bullshit.
