I had an LG G3 and after 2 years it would die when the battery got to ~30%. Thankfully the battery was user replaceable. But LG is not immune to this. I'm surprised an LG G2 would even run for 10 minutes today unless it's had the original battery replaced.
Runs all night as a music box for the kids. Same battery.

My god, the narrative. "Apple is doing this just to fuck with users, fuck apple" etc over and over despite zero evidence as to their intention here. One sane person comes up with the more likely explanation: > That implies to me the calibration is unique to each screen and a proper repair has a calibration setup step? And someone just dismisses that perfectly logical explanation completely out of hand, declaring 'all…
> [USB-C is a connector] literally designed to break just like every USB connector before it. Do you have any evidence USB-C is literally designed to break? That seems like an extraordinary claim to me.

I've replaced 2 iPhones and and an iPad for no other reason than that the lightning socket came loose and unreliable after a few years (even though the devices were otherwise fine). I've never had a single issue with USB-C
I don't even move them around much, but now I'm forced to use my Switch's USB-C cable to charge both. At least there are a lot of USB-C cables now that many things use them. Hopefully I don't end up using my headphone USB-C cable to charge everything.

If anything that proves it’s a calibration issue. The controller on the replacement screen has no calibration whereas the controller from the old screen has been calibrated to the old screen, apparently sufficiently close enough to the necessary calibration of the new screen to not show noticeable issues to most people. The real test would be grabbing two screens with calibrated controllers and switch the controllers…
If it really was about calibration, wouldn't you think Apple would've calibrated the screen at the factory and programmed the controller with the calibration data? The real test would be grabbing two screens with calibrated controllers and switch the controllers out, then compare accuracy after the swap with accuracy before the swap. That's what they showed in the video. The replacement screen was from a different iP…
That sounds like a process thing that could go either way. I can imagine a system where they wait until the ipad is assembled and then use the hardware on the ipad to run the color calibration against the screen being simpler/more sensible to integrate into production than a system where panels need to be plugged into a separate thing earlier on.
