Apple continues to push the envelope when it comes to product design and anti third-party repair.
They must really hold the quality of their devices to such a high standard, that even people who would willingly accept the "risk" of installing third-party components (or first-party from the manufacturer!), can't install the parts in their phones because it'll cause problems.
Not to mention the software Apple uses to "link" each part in a phone together so it removes issues like this is closed source and not really available to anybody so even if you did replace parts yourself you still can't use them!
They call themselves green and climate friendly, but it doesn't seem so friendly when you can't even re-use components from other phones that are broken to fix yours!
Even so, I much prefer normal captions with full sentences vs. words popping on and off the screen at 10 words per second.
Could you imagine consuming normal content that way (e.g. HN threads)? That would be anxiety inducing (and honestly, these types of videos are probably causing some level of anxiety to some people without them even realizing it).

I appreciate the brevity. I hate videos that are longer than necessary. I really hate the videos that are about 10 minutes long (the advertising sweet spot), containing content that could have been delivered in 30-45 seconds without all of the "like", "subscribe", how they're feeling that day, etc.
Welcome to being a minority. That ship has sailed over a decade ago. People like to watch videos without sound. Some like to read because they can’t hear thru accent very well.
That's the most frustrating part for me with Tiktok, Youtube shorts, instagram etc.
I wish you could scrobble through a video - it's more frustrating on Youtube because you always could and now all of a sudden you can't, and now videos 60 seconds or less get auto-converted into shorts (from what I've understood). Very annoying.
Whoever designed this knew what they were doing on an addictions/product/customer retainment level because it sure wasn't a usability/UI engineer that made this decision.
The wireless charging assembly has a serial number that's programmed into the phone at manufacturing time. Replacing that assembly (glued to the back glass) with one having a different serial number causes photos taken with flash to fail to save.
Assuming it is proven true, this is unlike other attempts at crippling repairs from Apple as it's affecting behavior that is completely unrelated to the replaced module(the flash being implementable as a passive component). I wonder if the lawsuit against HP for disabling scanning when low on ink could set a precedent usable against this.
iFixit tested already what you can and cannot replace on an iPhone 14 here:

Maybe the person in the video missed something?
