The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • Apple is easing up its self-repair policy
  • One controversial repair practice that remains in place

Conflicts of Interest

75%

Examples:

  • Instead, the tech giant glues a Galaxy’s battery to a display and you can’t split them apart since it’s one solid unit. As a result, it’s expensive.
  • LG also revealed that it has a new wireless flagship model called LG M4 which will come equipped with a Zero Connect box

Contradictions

86%

Examples:

  • Parts pairing is when a serial number of a component (like a screen) is digitally paired to the serial number of the iPhone itself.
  • Samsung’s approach towards repairability does not align with iFixit’s mission.

Deceptions

65%

Examples:

  • The title implies that iPhone owners will be able to fix their devices with used parts instead of having to buy new replacements. However, this is not entirely true as customers and service providers still need to give Apple a phone’s serial number when ordering replacements for logic boards.
