Apple shipped me a 79-pound iPhone repair kit to fix a 1.1-ounce battery

Feels unnecessarily complicated? I think at that point, I'd just go to an authorized repair center and have them replace the battery which I suppose is the point that Apple is trying to make with this complicated battery replacement kit. You want Right to Repair? Sure, we will supply you with DIY kits that are too complicated for most people so they have to do it the usual way anyway...

Yeah, that's their whole point. With that said, I hope it backfires and a lot of people will ask them for the repair kit because that doesn't look cheap, especially with shipping.

One thing I wonder is since the X670 is basically just two B650, does it come with twice the DDR5 channels? Would be nice for the big APUs to have that much bandwidth, imagine having something like 8CPU cores and 24 CU on an 170W APU, that would actually come close to the 6600 in terms of performance. with enough CPU performance for future GPU upgrades if the APU isn't enough anymore.

That would certain be an interesting idea but idk if AMD will go that route anytime soon since they could sell you a dGPU instead. But maybe later down the line, that would be pretty nuts.

Given the leaked diagram for an Asus board, I doubt AMD wil go that route as well

I expected the two chipsets to be together in the same package, not split and so far away one from the other.
