An iPhone repair tech looked at a woman's phone for 10 seconds and said: "There's nothing wrong with this."
She paid $80 for a diagnosis. The diagnosis was free.
"Your phone isn't broken. Apple broke it for you. The day you set it up."
He's fixed 15,000+ phones in 6 years. He said 90% of them weren't broken. Not the battery. Not the processor. Not the hardware. 90% were settings problems. Default settings Apple turned on without asking — that drain your battery by 40%, slow your processor, eat your storage, and track your location 24/7.
"People walk in every day saying 'my phone is slow.' I change 11 settings in 10 minutes. They say 'it feels brand new.' Then they try to pay me. I feel guilty every time."
"You don't need a repair. You don't need a new phone. You need 10 minutes in Settings."
"But Apple will never tell you that. Because a phone that feels broken is a phone you replace. And a replacement is $1,200."
Here are 11 settings he changes before he even touches the hardware:

A flight attendant for a major US airline retired last month.
14 years in the sky. Over 10,000 flights.
We had drinks on Tuesday and I asked her what she actually does differently when she flies as a normal passenger.
She gave me a list of 6 things. I haven't looked at an airport the same way since.
QUICK WEEKNIGHT DINNERS
Meal prep is great but having quick, go-to recipes during a busy week are just as important!
Here are 9 of my favorite weeknight dinners that can be thrown together in under 30 minutes:
RED SOX DIDN’T EVEN GIVE A SHIT AND STILL WON, ADLEY 2-RUN GAME-TYING KNOCK, CONNOR WONG GAME-WINNING RBI DOUBLE, BURGOS WITH A 6 OUT SAVE, BOSTON CLINCHES THE 2ND WILD CARD SPOT #GOLDBOTTLES
how can you not believe in God when octopuses DREAM and otters have a favorite rock they carry around in a little SKIN POCKET and cows have BEST FRIENDS and bees are out there communicating the coordinates of flowers through INTERPRETIVE DANCE and they have REGIONAL DIALECTS??
cats are PURRING at frequencies associated with bone healing??? forests get absolutely incinerated and respond by growing FLOWERS??? dolphins literally invent NAMES for themselves and yell them across the ocean??? penguins are waddling around Antarctica looking for the PERFECT LITTLE ROCK to give their beloved???
CROWS REMEMBER YOUR FACE. THEY TELL OTHER CROWS ABOUT YOU. THEY TELL THEIR CHILDREN ABOUT YOU. YOU CAN HAVE GENERATIONAL BEEF WITH A BIRD.
goats have ACCENTS. rats GIGGLE when you tickle them. elephants mourn their dead. whales make SONGS and then OTHER WHALES LEARN THE SONG and suddenly everybody across the ocean is singing the new hit single.
monarch butterflies are born knowing how to fly thousands of miles to a place THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN. sea turtles hatch out of an egg, immediately sprint toward an OCEAN they have never seen, disappear into it for like THIRTY YEARS and then somehow come back to THE SAME BEACH???
birds can see COLORS THAT WE CANNOT SEE. there are colors happening RIGHT NOW that we don’t even get to know about.
there are sea slugs that eat algae and STEAL ITS CHLOROPLASTS and then are just like great thanks I’ll be PHOTOSYNTHESIZING NOW. there are mushrooms communicating underground. there are seeds sitting in the dirt for DECADES like no actually I will wait.
squirrels plant MILLIONS OF TREES because they simply cannot remember where they put their snacks.
A CATERPILLAR GOES INTO A LITTLE BAG, DISSOLVES MOST OF ITS BODY INTO ORGANIC SOUP, REARRANGES ITSELF, GROWS WINGS AND LEAVES.
and you’re telling me a tiny acorn knows how to become a 70-foot oak tree??? nobody tells it what to do??? it just has TREE INSTRUCTIONS INSIDE IT???
your body started as ONE CELL. ONE. and that cell divided itself into a brain that can think about its own existence and eyes that can look at stars and hands that can hold somebody else’s hands and a heart that runs on ELECTRICITY without you even asking it to???
the iron in your BLOOD was made inside a STAR.
I’M SORRY?????
we are walking around on a wet rock covered in bioluminescent oceans and singing whales and laughing rats and birds holding lifelong grudges and flowers exploding out of FIRE and somehow we’re supposed to act like this is a normal place to live?????????
Tener 50's es raro.
Todos viven una línea temporal distinta.
Algunos son abuelos, otros están cambiando pañales a las 3 am, otros salen con personas de 25 , otros celebran 20 años de casados.
La mitad parecen de 33 y la otra: mitad parece haber luchado en la 2 Guerra Mundial.
There is a reason this video has gone viral. There is something magical, majestic, and deeply moving about it. The song is familiar. The impact is permanent. Watch it and weep!
