Environment…HAHAHA

Apple says they are aiming for zero climate impact by 2030.

Device should be able to be repaired when the time comes to, preventing it from becoming e-waste. But is that true?

Makes it impossible for you to repair or switch up parts of your phone if it gets damaged

Productivity Commission Inquiry into Right to Repair

29 October 2020
Productivity Commission Inquiry into Right to Repair

The Morrison Government has today released terms of reference for the Productivity Commission’s inquiry into the Right to Repair in Australia.

Consumers, or third parties, can face challenges repairing products that develop faults or require maintenance, due to a lack of access to necessary tools, parts or diagnostic software.

According to MobileMuster, 33 per cent of Australians have repaired their mobile phones and it is expected the number of people reusing devices will increase over time as younger Australians are more likely to repair and purchase second hand phones.

Right to Repair is a consumer’s ability to repair faulty goods, or access repair services, at a competitive price. This can include repair by a manufacturer, a third-party, or self-repair.

The inquiry will consider a range of issues impacting the Australian repair market, including potential barriers and enablers of greater competition.

It will draw on international experience and examine Right to Repair mechanisms that support consumer rights, promote competition in the repair market, and encourage product design requirements to extend product life and reduce e-waste.

The Productivity Commission will undertake broad public consultation, including with state and territory governments. The inquiry is due to report to Government within twelve months.

SOYACINCAU BM: Jangan mimpilah nak baiki iPhone 12 anda di kedai luar



Kalau anda pergi ke laman Apple berkaitan sayangnya mereka dengan alam sekitar, ada macam-macam inisiatif hijau yang tentu sekali mengujakan anda.



Tapi di Kanada, Apple telah menyaman syarikat kitar semula produk Apple kerana menjual semula iPhone yang sepatutnya dikitar semula. Bukankah sepatutnya mereka menyokong amalan kitar semula?

Itu hal kitar semula. Bagaimana pula dengan iPhone 12? Katanya sebab mereka buang kepala pengecas daripada kotak iPhone sebab sudah banyak pengecas berada dalam pasaran dan anda boleh gunakannya.

Tapi sedarkah anda yang pengecas Apple USB-C pertama kali diperkenalkan pada iPhone 11 Pro (2019) dan iPad Pro (2015)? Cuba bayangkan berapa banyak kepala USB-C Apple yang ada dalam pasaran berbanding pegencas 5W USB-A zaman batu mereka.



Sebab jangan mimpi nak baiki iPhone 12 anda di kedai luar

Ini sisi gelap iPhone 12 yang patut anda tahu. Benar, memang iPhone 12 adalah yang paling berkuasa setakat ini dengan cip 5nm pertama industri dan sebagainya. Tapi bila sampai masanya, sudah tentu anda perlu baikinya.

Walaupun iFixit memberikan skor 6 per 10 pada skala mudah baiki untuk iPhone 12, apa yang mereka tidak pertimbangkan adalah jika iPhone tetap beroperasi jika komponennya ditukar ganti.



Satu video YouTube telah mendedahkan penemuannya tentang kebolehbaikian iPhone 12. Memang benar semua komponen iPhone 12 boleh dikeluarkan dan ditukar ganti. Tapi apabila iPhone 12 mengesan komponen tak sama seperti yang dipateri padanya sewaktu keluar kilang, ia tidak mahu menyala.



Kalau menyala pun, ada pelbagai komplikasi lain berlaku seperti:

FaceID tak berfungsi
TrueTone hilang daripada senarai setting
Kamera ultralebar dan potret tak berfungsi

Komponen yang ditukar ganti ini bukanlah daripada yang tak tulen. Dia membeli 2 unit iPhone 12 dan terus tukar gantikan komponen-komponen antara mereka. Pendek kata, iPhone memprogramkan setiap satu perkaksan dalam telefon dengan nombor siri dan menghalang usaha membaikinya daripada pihak ketiga.
