Reply to comment by GlitchParrot in iOS 16.4 Camera non genuine warning, I got this phone new from at&t last March and never had any replacements or issues until this. by DrSlapathot

Software issues can cause a whole load of "hardware warnings". This guy says he has done nothing to his phone, when a random update does this it is absolutely not a hardware problem. Especially when it just happens randomly, after an update.

But of course, because it's Apple, there's nothing you can do to investigate or repair the software issue yourself. That does mean that this subreddit could basically be replaced by a flowchart with, at the end, "contact Apple"

And how is that the fault of this subreddit? And why would it be any different with, say, a Samsung phone? Their hard- and software is also closed source.

Did I fault the subreddit? Why are you taking this personally?

It's different because Android is just more open, if you replace the camera you will not get some stupid warning that the part is unknown. Android is open-source, do you know what you're talking about?

Yes:

AOSP is open source. Samsung’s specific flavour of Android including their drivers and UI skin is closed source.

I’m not faulting anything. I’m stating a fact. This sub is useless for tech support.

Not even half as much as iOS.
