A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sounds good, but how do you stop an unscrupulous repair shop from clearing the warning before the end user can see it?
If it is persistent but buried in settings, most people won’t notice.
Maybe the warning could require Apple sign-in to dismiss, but can be hidden at startup? Then make it an industry standard to present the phone when it is powered off.
EDIT: Yes, I know that this is still shitty for most customers.
Yeah, unfortunately that would be up to the average person knowing better than to give out passwords.
