I once built a fully functional iPad 2 from totally scrap parts meant to be thrown away at the repair shop I used to work for. Then sold it for $100, as if I’d ever use anything from Apple!
Yes, that’s how wasteful our current system is. There were enough spare parts to literally build an entire functional device, but I was told to take those parts out to the dumpster.
I was like fuck that, I’m keeping these particular parts at least. And no, the logic board wasn’t iCloud locked. After cleanup and assembly, it was just as good as an iPad that might have only been used for around 2 months.
Dumpster parts or usable parts? Welp, $100 for me, from junk parts restored to perfectly working condition. WINNING!
Edit: Screw Apple and their extravagantly overpriced shit, and especially screw the whole planned obsolescence era!
