Try telling that to the woman who is crying in your shop because she can no longer see the texts, pics, and voicemails of her dead husband. "Well at least you learned a lesson." That right there is the dumbest post in this rediculous thread. And its heartless
Oh, for God's sake!

Feb 11, 2016 4:20 PMby love repair,Don't know about Right to Work in Florida. I spent about 18 hours a day fixing iPhones, so there is little else on my radar screen these days.
Who knows how Right to Repair will work or be enforced, that is up to the lawmakers. The idea is that consumers should have choice and information in the repair of their devices. Right now, they don't. That's a monopoly and that's unfair.

The thing is if someone dropped a $649 iPhone they "own" in a cup of tea they should have the right to repair their device and that the person they choose should not have the proper hardware or tools withheld from their access to ensure the job can get done right.
They already do. You are asking for what they have already.

Feb 11, 2016 4:25 PMby frolic_about,Wow, this post has a lot of activity.
I haven't read all the replies yet, but I thought I would through this out there because I didn't see it.
Dump a bag of white rice in an airtight container, bury your water damaged phone in the rice and wait until you can-
A. Take it to an Apple store for service, or
B. Wait one week and see if there appears to be any water anywhere inside or outside the phone. Do Not Open the iPhone up. If there appears to be ANY moisture at all put it back in rice for another week. The phone should be completely dry by this time and often will work fine.
Do not ever plug in a phone that you have ANY doubt might not be completely dry. I personally would wait two weeks just for good measure.
I would never tell anyone who's iPhone is under any kind of warranty to open their phone. If your phone has absolutely no warranty, though, then hey it's your phone and you can't break a warranty that doesn't exist.
Whether it comes from me or someone else, I hope you find some useful information and your iPhone comes back to you safe and sound. Be glad it was only tea! Once when I was at the Genius Bar the tech told me that the number one damage that he saw to iPhones was from someone dropping their phone into the toilet. Personally, I think I would leave that one for a plumber .
Good Luck.

Csound's reply was that they already do.
Schematics are a resource used to fix iPhones!! We do not have access to these because Apple doesn't want to give out the right to repair.

Feb 11, 2016 4:27 PMby Philly_Phan,I was more than willing to correct my learned colleagues when they exaggerated the difficulty in getting Apple involvement after a 3rd party touched the phone. However, after seeing all of the absolutely inane posts from the 3rd party repairers, I gotta tell you that I would NEVER recommend such a course of action.

Csound said NOTHING about schematics.
