They're Apple Authorized Service Providers, but yeah. In *most* cases they're only swapping devices but there are some that actually do real work. Like every Best Buy is considered an AASP but hosed if they actually do anything but mail an iPhone out. I know there are definitely ones that can do Screen Repairs and Calibration and Touch ID replacement stuff.

I watched the video, none of it surprised me, because the iPad in question was used primarily by a child and dropped and damaged. It's _extremely_ likely that there was some liquid inside of the device, even if the LCI's aren't lighting up. The only actual defect we can prove here is that the underfill was missing on the power management chip, and this is assuming the customer that sent her the device actually received the replacement from Apple and not a device insurance company like Asurion. Most people seriously *do not know* the difference, or don't think it matters.

Speculation aside, her information was sound, and if she found an instance where as a third party repair technician she found that Apple had provided water damaged components on a replacement unit, guess what, stop the video there. Give that information to her customer and send them back to Apple with video proof that Apple hosed it up. I'd even say still post it on the internet, because that's an effective way to get people in power to listen and investigate why they hosed up.

But she kept talking and started bitching about fanboys and "new to you" and how Apple views INDEPENDENT repairs as inferior, and I read her video description and all it did was poison everything she had just displayed. She's right on all of the technical matters, and _nothing the gently caress else_ and even the biggest idiot that's ever worked at an Apple Authorized Service Provider would know that she's only pissed because if she does a repair on an iPad and a customer takes it in for an official repair later, they'll be told "sorry, we aren't touching it".

e: tldr gently caress I tilted on something dumb that I shouldn't give a gently caress about, leaving this up in shame.

i didnt watch the video and i agree

tvOS 9.2 also fixed the HDMI-CEC controls (and the part where it sometimes triggers at random). It turns my TV on, moves my HDMI switch to the right input, my TV to the HDMI switch input when I bring it out of sleep or AirPlay to it, instead of "roll 2d3 and do those two things".

ifixit says they added rubber gaskets to the buttons like on the iPhone 6 (but not as extensively waterproofed as the 6s)

unless they changed things from the way it was years ago, they always could but it requires that the person on staff actually has all the apple certifications for anything they're going to repair. if apple hasn't actually given a person the go ahead to open an iphone, all they can do is mail it off. when i worked at an apple certified repair place forever ago it was broken up by product line. some places could repair imacs but not macbooks etc.
