Good god... This guy is so annoying and the obviously staged shots acting like it was happening in realtime were cringy. This would be an interesting story if it wasn't so staged and the main "actor" wasn't yelling at the camera the whole time.

I'd like to take this guy's side but he is so unlikable and with the level of "production" going into this video I'm honestly not sure what to believe here or how much he skewed the facts (not saying he did but he does seem like someone who would do that).

Linus' whole schtick is cringiness, but I do enjoy his channel in general. I've never known if them to intentionally lie, and when they've been mistaken they make corrections.

The video is rather cringe worthy but if you can get past that, the story that is trying to be told is rather worthwhile. Assuming that what is being told is truth it is silly that in 2018 finding parts to our electronics is still so difficult. Having repaired my fair share of iPhones and iPods those devices life span has increased significantly due to non-apple parts from eBay and the like. I can not begin to count the number of times I had to tell people that some parts can not be sourced to repair a very expensive device that is still very much usable if repaired.

He's not an actor. Linus is the head of the company who runs the channel — and also its original host.

Is it appropriate for you to be trying to attack the guy's credibility?

Seems odd that it would be the first and only response given this video.

I’m not attacking his credibility, I’m calling it into question. If you produce a video in a reality-tv/anger-inciting manner then I’m not going to take it at face value without knowing more.

Then you should spend a few minutes investigating the person before questioning his credibility

a cursory look at the channel will see this type of over acting is common for the channel.

While he is over the top, I do not doubt that Apple Refused to repair their device for their "customer" that is standard apple anyway. Apple has always been about consumerism meaning they want you to buy new devices not repair broken ones. Their policy is "If its not Warranty, buy a new one", and even under warranty it is mainly REPLACE not repair.
