Today, robotic kits are beginning to significantly help in human learning. Recently, one of the leading providers of educational solutions STEAM (the term means learning using science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics as points of interaction for conducting surveys, dialogues with students) debuted on the world stage for innovators and advanced technologies (at the consumer electronics exhibition CES 2020) and creating critical thinking). The debutant was Matatalab (Matatalab), attracting attention with a line of robotic kits Matatalab Coding Set and Matatalab Lite - sought to test innovative technologies. Which help develop computational thinking skills and prepare children for the digital world.
Robotics & Education News: The Matatalab Coding Set and Matatalab Lite developmental robotic kits can prepare you to understand the digital world.Matatalab's surprisingly simple robotic kits follow the development of children's cognitive abilities (from concrete to abstract) and use simple character designs so that learning children can understand coding and computational thinking through fun yet challenging play-based quests.
Matatalab itself spans the B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) markets, offering professional solutions to educational institutions and families around the world, including programming robots (robot kits), curriculum, tutorial packages and more. Video review of the robotic Matatalab Coding Set: Programming is easy as "ABC".
It is a practical robot for children from 4 to 9 years old. Encourage kids to learn basic coding / programming concepts through adventure and hands-on play! Using coding blocks with a light hand, kids can now learn to program without screens.
For many years of development, the company has been committed to "Coding and Confidence to Make a Difference", Matatalab said.
Video review of the robotic kit Matatalab Lite:Matatalab Lite is an adorable and easy-to-use robot encoder ready to take young children from the age of three on an exciting coding / programming adventure. It consists of a robotic machine with sensors and a wireless controller with three modes, namely control mode, coding mode and sensor mode.
The robotic set develops problem solving, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration skills for your kids through hands-on game programming. Children can enjoy learning basic programming concepts such as sequencing, conditionals, and debugging, and will be constantly challenged with more challenging problems.
A few words about why the Matatalab Coding Set and Matatalab Lite training robotic kits were created from the manufacturer:"The two founders of Matatalab previously worked for an industry-leading educational robotics company, supplying software and hardware for teaching programming to elementary school students around the world. Based on this experience, they identified the lack of programming products for young children on the market. Despite the educational value of STEM, computer science, programming, and computer thinking, learning to program is still limited to programming on tablets or computers. However, the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) standards have shown that children can learn the basics of programming during early childhood education. Therefore, they envisioned an easy-to-use robot to teach programming for children with low thresholds, rich features, and diverse application scenarios. They later founded Matatalab Co., Ltd and successively released "Matatalab Pro Set", "Matatalab Coding Set", and "Matatalab Lite". Instead of programming languages, these products use a tangible programming language that matches the cognitive characteristics of children aged 4-9. The coding kit is designed for children aged 4 and over. Given that the coding block is a programming language, no screen is required and children can edit their own programs, much like replacing building blocks. In addition, expansion packs such as music, painting, and gauges are also available for children to achieve advanced learning skills. Designed specifically for 3-4 years old, the Lite series is equipped with a controller instead of code boards and blocks. This design focuses on the direction of research and consistency of children of this age, and it is beneficial for children to acquire basic sensory perceptions such as sound, light, color and speed.
- History of the creation of robots, from Matatalab.
One of the founders is a graduate of the Mathematics Department of China's first Tsinghua University. He designed the entire product portfolio. Initially, a technical prototype was developed and demos built on Raspberry Pi boards. All of this has been verified by relevant teachers, students and parents in several communities and educational institutions. After validating the concept, it was presented to industry experts in different countries and discussed further optimization. Then the first round of investments took place. The team started to expand and the product design became more attractive. After a year of research and development, the product experience has improved significantly. Subsequently, 3D printing samples were tested in 13 countries and received feedback from many education experts, teachers and students in Europe and the United States. This helped to further improve product quality and ultimately achieve mass production. It is noted that safety and reliability are top priorities because the product is designed for children. Professional organizations and suppliers were found to solve supply chain and mass production problems, and products were thoroughly tested to even pass food quality certification. Now it is the highest level of testing of toy products in the world, and according to the creators, the products can be as safe as baby bottles.
- Interesting moments that arose when creating robots, according to Matatalab.
When we visited investors to look for investments, the demo prototype was damaged during the trip. Thus, we could only play the role of a robot through gestures and body language to explain our practical coding concepts and how robots work. Fortunately, we have impressed investors and received investment. Of course, we believe this is because our product is exceptional and that we are the pioneers of the blue ocean market, ”said Rishon Su, CEO of Matatalab.
The design principle of our product is low threshold and high ceiling. It's easy to get started, but the difficulty will increase step by step, constantly testing students' thinking abilities. We have developed three task guides. Many adults found them easy at first, but got lost in high-level tasks or spent a lot of time doing them. For example, a computer science teacher at the University of Chicago could only complete the last stage of our assignment in 6 minutes and 42 seconds. He joked that he would never tell his daughter about this experience. Therefore, while the game is very easy to learn, it is as difficult as an adult game, "said Tony Zheng, chief operating officer of Matatalab."
Matatalab in educational institutions in Russia.
According to the creators of the Matatalab robotic training kits:"Today Matatalab is used in 500-700 educational institutions of various levels from kindergarten to high school. The question of the number of institutions is very difficult because Digis does not work with end users and Matatalab has more than 120 active partners in all regions of the country.
In addition to public schools and kindergartens, Matatalab is used in private development centers as well as teacher development centers in many regions of the country.
In April 2020, the first interschool Matata competition may be held at a Moscow school. Eight kits have already been provided for developing assignments and preparing teams.
At about the same time (in March), the NTI 2020 Olympics will be held in the Siberian region of Russia, in the city of Novosibirsk, together with the Ministry of Education of the Novosibirsk Region. "

Looking for an incredibly good performance router? There is an Archer AX50 device - this is the latest wireless router from the Chinese company TP-Link Technologies. Unlike conventional routers from TP-Link, this model is equipped with the latest Wi-Fi technology, which promises to improve Wi-Fi connections at blazing fast speeds - thanks to the introduction of the sixth generation IEEE 802.11ax wireless standard.
News about routers today: The new model of TP-Link Archer AX50 router supports Wi-Fi 6, up to 3 Gigabits per second, 4K streaming, 40+ device connectivity, saves batteries, has antivirus.The innovative design of the TP-Link Archer AX50 router has a classic rectangular shape with a lot of ventilation holes for cooling the device. The model has four external non-removable antennas and several LED indicators to display the status of the router.
Wi-Fi router which is better?
The new TP-Link Archer AX50 router has been introduced by the Chinese brand as an Intel-based device that offers users access to the latest connectivity in a turnkey system. It supports latest standard 802.1ax wireless communication, also known as WiFi 6, to improve overall speed and performance to prepare users for the future when upgrading existing home networking solutions.
The latest version of Wi-Fi 6 wireless technology promises to make WiFi connections much faster than 802.11ac. High performance wireless (Wi-Fi 6) is now available on select mobile phones such as Samsung Galaxy S10 and Apple iPhone 11.
Many routers with Wi-Fi 6 are extremely expensive at this point, it is possible that the TP-Link Archer AX50 variant is designed to accommodate the massive use of Wi-Fi 6.
TP-Link Archer AX50 video review: Quick setup and how the new model of a router with Wi-Fi 6 worksAdditionally, let's consider what a router can do:
Wi-Fi 6 with Intel Technology delivers three times faster speeds, more capacity and lower latency than the previous generation of Wi-Fi 5, while dual-core intel processor ensures smooth operation;
Next-generation (data) speeds, up to 3 Gbps (2402 Mbps on 5 GHz and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz) for faster 4K video streaming, video chats and online gaming;

A comment about the router from the manufacturer (TP-Link Russia press service):
"Archer AX50 is part of the "Archer AX" line of routers with support for Wi-Fi 6 - a new generation of wireless communication (it also includes models Archer AX11000, AX6000, AX3000, AX10, AX1500 and some others). TP-Link is the world leader in the supply of home wireless devices, so, of course, the company is guided by global trends and innovations taking place in this market.One of these innovations was the presentation by Intel of chipsets with Wi-Fi 6 at the end of 2018 - and already in February 2019, TP-Link showed the first models with Wi-Fi 6 at the MWC 2019 in Barcelona. Archer AX50 has just become the first example of cooperation between TP-Link and Intel (in addition to cooperation with Intel, various TP-Link devices are also supplied on chipsets from Qualcomm, Broadcom, Mediatek, and so on ... Google in the production of the Google OnHub router).
The reason why routers with Wi-Fi 6 began to appear was the increased demand for even faster Internet connections, as well as higher bandwidth within the network. All this, in turn, is due to the growing number of wireless gadgets in modern households: today, not only laptops are connected to Wi-Fi mobile phones, but also televisions (television broadcasting is also gradually going "online"), smart home infrastructure devices, game consoles and multimedia devices, including those using augmented and virtual reality. In other words, if you do not take into account the mobile Internet, then Wi-Fi is becoming the main medium for transmitting information, and this environment requires improvements over time.
The Archer AX50 model is just designed for modern households that need a strong foundation to connect to the Internet and connect a large number of clients - with a backlog for several years to come.
Speaking about further market prospects, the following can be noted:
The number of clients that can be connected to Wi-Fi 6 infrastructure will grow;
There will be a growing number of technologies that will leverage Wi-Fi 6 speeds;
Smart home infrastructure will develop, and it will increasingly rely on Wi-Fi;
TP-Link, in turn, will present models on the international and Russian markets that meet the requirements of modern users.
We have large manufacturing facilities as well as several R&D centers in Asia and the United States - allowing us to quickly adapt these requirements into new products and developments. "
Final words:
Recently, the new TP-Link Archer range of routers are meeting the growing need for better connectivity solutions as consumers continue to integrate smarter devices into their homes that require growing bandwidth.
The new aircraft, called the Flying Gondola, optimizes flight performance through center of gravity control technology. Reliability that allows people to move safely is integral to air mobility. However, in order to widely use the Flying Gondola as a means of transportation in the air, its creators from Aeronext Inc (Japan) believe that the key aspects are the achievement of both "safety" and " comfort ". So that every passenger can easily use the aircraft without any reason for doubt.
Latest aircraft news: Japanese developer Aeronext has introduced the "Flying Gondola" for easy air travel.According to the developer Aeronext, the new concept of mobility in the air "Flying Gondola" not only provides "safety" but also "comfort", which differ from the traditional concept of air mobility, which mainly focuses only on the convenience of passengers.
When will the Flying Gondola replace conventional aircraft?
The Flying Gondola provides a new flight experience that Aeronext says allows the passenger to enjoy the freedom and freedom of flight, the scenery in the sky, according to Aeronext. Development goes forward and the next project "Next Mobility" will be the first principal prototype of "Flying Gondola", but more on that later in the review.
The aircraft's vertical takeoff and landing is controlled by a center of gravity technology called "Tiltbody".
The technology that forms an integral part of the new Flying Gondola concept is the recently announced Tiltbody technology (collective term for Aeronext's center of gravity control technology).
The developed technology stabilizes the takeoff and landing of VTOL aircraft (the term stands for vertical takeoff and landing). During the transition from takeoff to level flight, unlike traditional aircraft where the rotor is fixed, the movable rotor arm (called the "propeller arm") moves to achieve optimal flight performance while keeping the cockpit level relative to ground level. Perhaps this could mean that comfort and safety are maximized.
Also, the company is developing the first basic prototype of the Next Mobility single-seat passenger aircraft. It is a prototype that embodies a new concept of air mobility like the Flying Gondola. It features 4D GRAVITY center of gravity technology and the newly announced VTOL Tiltbody center of gravity technology. The all-new Next Mobility is the first prototype to be a 1/3 the size of a single-seat aircraft.
Aeronext Flight Video Review: Next Mobility prototype embodies the Flying Gondola concept.In the future, Japanese developer Aeronext promises to announce similar aircraft that can be used by multiple people.
Comment on how the flying gondola drone was created from the creators:
Natsuko Ito, Global Marketing Director, Aeronext Inc .:
"Aeronext is a technology startup for UAV architecture founded in Japan in 2017 and we have invented the unique 4D GRAVITY® center of gravity control technology that significantly improves stability.
We have already announced several concept models for specific industrial applications using 4D GRAVITY® such as shipping and inspection applications.
And this time, to better demonstrate the effectiveness of 4D GRAVITY®, we created the concept of the Flying Gondola mobile airplane, equipped with 4D GRAVITY® and other patented technologies that provide both safety and comfort.
We believe this is a realistic solution that will increase the social acceptability of air mobility by providing people with a new flight experience.
We used a unique "split architecture" with our patented 4D GRAVITY® technology, which separates the section of the cabin and the flying section so that the cabin always remains level with the ground.
The original idea for the 4D GRAVITY® was invented by our CTO Mr. Suzuki and this Flying Gondola concept model was created by him and his engineering team. "
Technical characteristics of the Aeronext aircraft and the advantages declared by the developer:
Remotely controlled automatic navigation vehicle that does not require a pilot on board;
Smooth and stable transition from takeoff to level flight;
Comfortable fit in the machine because the seat is flush with the ground.
The passenger can relax and enjoy the conversation on the mobile phone;
It is easy to get into the aircraft even in a skirt or high heels;
The front, left and right sides of the aircraft are covered with glass to enjoy the view of flight;
The aircraft is equipped with special wings and a propeller system to prevent collisions even in an emergency landing.
Whether you are waiting for the release of iOS 14 with secrets or not, it is important to know about it. The new operating system iOS 14 from the technology company Apple may share the list of compatibility of gadgets with iOS 13. What can this mean for users of Apple electronic devices? Rumored by news sources full version iOS 14 can span support for about eighteen iPhone models. Naturally, the new smartphone support roster is expected to include this year's iPhone 12 series, as well as the highly anticipated iPhone SE 2 smartphone. Plus, iPadOS is expected to be updated alongside iOS 14.
Operating System News and Rumors: Which Apple Device Models Will Upgrade to iOS 14 and When Will the Upgrade Begin? Read on.If you've been tracking updates from the Apple team for iOS, then it should come as no surprise that with every new update Apple compiles an iPhone compatibility list. For example, while iOS 11 and iOS 12 were released for the iPhone prior to the iPhone 5S version. This particular phone was an exception to the iOS 13 release compatibility list.
As you know, Apple periodically disables support for older devices in its updates. The suspected reason for changing the compatibility list is the processor architecture of the device. However, it looks like that might not be the case this year when iOS 14 comes out. According to the French source "iPhone Soft", Apple's new iOS 14 system (still in development) could work on all those iPhones. which are currently supported by iOS 13. Supposedly, this is information from a "developer friend at Apple".
Naturally, the list can be replenished with iPhone models of the current year (12 and SE 2). So it is rumored that if this is true, when the iOS 14 update comes out, it will be available for all iPhone models following the list below:
IPhone 12 Pro Max (rumored only)
- iPhone 12 Pro (rumored);
- iPhone 12 (rumors);
- iPhone SE 2 or known as iPhone 9 (still on hearing);
- iPhone 11 Pro Max;
- iPhone 11 Pro;
- iPhone 11;
- iPhone Xs Max;
- iPhone Xs;
- iPhone X (model number A1902 and A1901, A1865);
- iPhone XR;
- iPhone 8 Plus (Models A1864, A1898 and A1897)
- iPhone 8 (models A1906, A1863, A1905);
- iPhone 7 Plus (A1661 and models A1784, A1785);
- iPhone 7 (model A1660, A1779, A1778);
- iPhone 6s Plus (models A1699, A1634, A1687);
- iPhone 6s (models A1700, A1633, A1688);
- And the iPhone SE model (model numbers A1724, A1662, and A1723).
There is a rather long list of Apple phone models for the new operating system than ever before. In addition, if so, the update could also affect the 7th generation iPod Touch media player.
However, the same cannot be said for tablet computers. The report added that the debut in a couple of months, again according to rumors, the iPadOS 14 system may bypass the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 4 (that is, support for tablets with Apple A8X and A8 chips will be discontinued). For iPadOS 14, users are left with the following list:
9.7-inch iPad Pro
- 10.5-inch iPad Pro;
- 11-inch iPad Pro;
12.9-inch iPad Pro
- iPad Air 3rd generation;
- iPad 5th generation;
- iPad 6th generation;
- iPad 7th generation;
- And the iPad Mini 5th generation.
The list may expand, according to rumors, the forthcoming version of the tablet "iPad Pro 5G".
In 2019, with the release of iOS 13, the iPhone 5s, popular in Russia, "found itself without support." The smartphone received six major mobile updates in its life operating system.
Considering the iPhone SE, iPhone 6S Plus, and iPhone 6S were latest models iPhones with headphone jacks, many Apple smartphone users preferred to hold onto their old iPhones for as long as possible. So if you're still using a 2015 iPhone, you may be able to breathe easy. A new rumor claims that iOS 14 will be compatible with the original iPhone 6S and iPhone SE.
New iOS 14 features and secrets:
What will iOS 14 be like?
As for the functionality of the new system, there is absolutely no information about what can be expected from iOS 14. IT Corporation Apple, like every year, is likely to unveil a new version of iOS at its annual WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference), which will be held in the United States around June 2020. The latest version of iPadOS is also making its debut at the event.
On this day, not only an announcement about the main changes is expected, but also about the release date for iOS 14 for download to developers (for beta testing), and the release date for download for regular users.
We will definitely write a review of what will be added to the system, what are the advantages of iOS 14 over version 13. Is it worth updating, about the end of support and possibly device problems after the update.
Summary of iOS 14:Apple has an incentive to maintain support for as many iPhones and iPads as possible for the new version of iOS 14. To increase the chance of engaging users with the latest subscription services features such as Apple Arcade and Apple TV +.
But since this is the first time we hear about iOS 14 in 2020, the information should be taken with the understanding that these are rumors. After all, details from leaks and rumors are sometimes misunderstood. We can all be convinced of the reality of the forecasts only after Apple itself presents a new version of the operating system at the end of this year.
Soon, we will discuss the burning secrets of iOS 14 (characteristics, functions, is it possible to jailbreak, if an error occurs during the update, how many gigabytes the system takes in the phone). We expect good news for older devices.

The new consumer electronics show CES 2020 (in Las Vegas, America) presented a huge collection of amazing robots designed to perform almost any task, from everyday worries to educating the good in humans. Perhaps as a reflection of our increasingly stressful lifestyles, this year's tech show was also filled with a surprising number of robots designed to provide companionship and alleviate feelings of loneliness.
The display of the phone, despite the rapid progress of technology, is still the most vulnerable element in the entire design of phones. If you are a neat and frugal user, there is little cause for concern, but ...
Even the tidiest person is not immune to the fact that the smartphone accidentally falls out of his hands. In this case, there may be several options for the development of events. Thus, the phone can fall onto the back cover protected by a case and avoid serious damage. If you are less fortunate, the device will fall straight onto the iPhone display. In this case, the screen can become covered with cracks, chips, stop displaying information adequately, the sensor can stop responding to commands. If the situation is exactly as we described, get ready for an expensive repair.
A broken iPhone display brings a lot of inconvenience to the owner of the phone. It is very difficult to work with such a device. Even if you notice a small speck or broken pixels on the screen, this does not mean that in the future these defects will not make themselves felt and will not turn into more serious problems.
Even the smallest crack on the screen can ultimately lead to serious damage, as a result of which you have to buy other components. Therefore, even if your iPhone is working properly, but it has a small crack or barely noticeable speck, it is better to immediately contact the nearest service center. Pick up best service for iPhone repair in Kiev, you can visit Fixy.com.ua, which generates prices for Apple equipment repair services. All you need is to search for the required service and press the search button, and you will be automatically given a list of service centers.
How to keep your iPhone away from the service center
The iPhone display can fail for various reasons. Unfortunately, even the most durable and reliable cases cannot protect the device from mechanical damage to the case. A negligent attitude towards the device leads to the fact that a small mechanical effect leads to the appearance of visible defects.
- do not take it with wet hands;
- do not go to the bathroom with your phone;
- do not place your iPhone too close to artificial bodies of water or places where it can be exposed to moisture.
In addition, it is worth using your iPhone carefully during heavy rain, snow, etc.
Another common reason an iPhone display fails is high blood pressure. Often this situation happens when the smartphone is put in the back pocket of jeans, and then they forget about it.
The iPhone display can fail due to active exposure to chemicals. No matter how strong the body of the device is, it will not withstand the effects of aggressive substances. Various laboratories, workshops, greenhouses are not the best place to put your phone on the table and wait for new messages or notifications.
Protect your device from possible negative environmental factors - and it will serve you faithfully for a long period of time. If your smartphone is still broken, follow the purchase of a quality component and contact a reliable service.
Especially for the readers of Lifehacker, the specialists of the MacPlus service center sent detailed instructions to fix a drenched iPhone 6 Plus. It is unlikely that you will be able to fix the phablet yourself - this requires special tools, knowledge and skills.
But it is still worth seeing how a seemingly hopeless drowned man comes back to life. We take the worst-case scenario: the iPhone has been in the water for about an hour and no longer responds to any actions.
It is clear that repairing the iPhone 6 Plus in this case cannot be called easy, but, nicely, it is still possible.
Disassemble the iPhone and take out the board
First you need to disassemble the iPhone. To do this, two screws are unscrewed near the Lightning connector and the display module is carefully removed.
This is what Apple's phablet looks like without the top cover. As you can see, most of the space inside the iPhone is taken up by the battery.
As a rule, it is the motherboard that needs serious repair or replacement after exposure to water. This is how the "motherboard" looks like.
Motherboard Troubleshooting
Before proceeding with the repair, you need to assess how much the different elements of the motherboard have oxidized.
First, the metal shielding plates are removed from the printed circuit board, and then each element is ringed for damage. In our case, the iPhone 6 Plus has a malfunctioning battery connector.
Elimination of damage
Flux is applied to the motherboard and the damage is repaired with a small soldering iron.
If the other elements of the board are in good working order, the repair can be considered complete.
It remains to assemble the phablet and check its work. In our case, the smartphone turned on, but another breakdown was found here: the touchscreen did not respond to touches, and lights appeared at the bottom of the screen.
Screen repair
If the iPhone is immersed for a long time, the screen of the iPhone can be seriously damaged, and further work will require an expensive matrix replacement.
However, in our case, this was avoided by limiting ourselves to the restoration of the sensor.
To restore, the engineer cleaned the ribbon cable contacts to the motherboard and soldered the ribbon cable connectors on both sides.
Hello! We are completing a series of articles (at least for a while) about service centers and various nuances of iPhone warranty service. We have already figured out (completely new or refurbished?) And what happens to (prolonged, restarted, or completely disappears?) On this very iPhone. And, it would seem, there is nothing more to talk about ... nothing like that!
We still have one (but very important!) Question, which we clearly need to deal with in more detail. It sounds like this - is it necessary to change your iPhone to a new one in service centers (with a valid warranty and after a diagnosis)? Or is repair possible and you will be given your old device?
Let's talk about this today, let's go!
Once again, I would like to note that the conversation is specifically about official repair shops authorized by Apple (list). Naturally, no one will change anything in the market or in a tent near the market (IP Uncle Vasya). They will repair anyhow and let go in peace. In general, it is better to bypass such places - they will do it cheaply, but not for long.
So, your iPhone is broken, you turned to the service center for help, and here there are two options:
- You will be repaired using new or used parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability.
- Replaced with a product that is at least functionally identical to the product being replaced.
Lest you think I came up with all this, here is a screenshot of the limited warranty clauses from Apple's website.
Thus, it turns out that apple can choose at its own discretion - either to repair your iPhone (using both new and used parts :)), or replace it with a similar product (which, by the way, can also be assembled from new and used parts :)). And what actually happens in Russian service centers - exchange or repair?
Who will best answer this question? That's right, Apple itself in the face of technical support. Let's ask them ...
As you can see, in Russia, the iPhone can be either repaired under warranty or replaced. How so? After all, they write everywhere that since Apple does not supply original parts to Russia, the only way to repair a defective iPhone should be to replace it! I also asked about this in the chat ...
As you can see, Apple sends certified parts to Russia in order for authorized service centers to be able to repair your iPhone. The only exceptions are displays, since original screens are not supplied in the Russian Federation.
And what now, if marriage, then only repair and that's it? But no, because in reality everything happens exactly the opposite. In most cases that I heard about (read, I was told) everything happens differently. With absolutely any factory defect, an authorized service center will rather replace your iPhone with a new one than repair it.
Honestly, I don't know why this happens - there are spare parts, people are there, is it really cheaper and easier to replace the device? I have no answer, if you have any ideas - write in the comments.
Summarize:
- IPhone repair under warranty is possible, Apple supplies spare parts to Russia for this (except for displays).
- Despite this, in most cases (in general, in all of which I have heard), ASC give out a new iPhone instead of a defective one.
Is it true new? I already wrote about this, the link is at the beginning of the article - read it, a lot of interesting things.
Updated or new total:
- Starting in the spring of 2017 (thanks to the FAS order), Apple began supplying components to Russia for repairing iPhone displays. Now official service centers have absolutely all spare parts for warranty repairs.
- I don't know if this is related to the previous point or not, but the fact remains - users in the comments are increasingly writing that their iPhone was just repaired, and not replaced with a new one.
P.S. I am waiting for your opinions and questions.
