edit: since many seem to be confused: he doesn’t use the Apple logo anywhere on his website (you can check above) or in his videos — Apple is upset because the iPhones shown in his videos have the Apple logo on the back of the device which can be seen in the video while he’s repairing it.

In the letter from Apple’s law firm, they have specifically asked him to stop repairing Apple devices.

What? No, obviously not. I'm just responding to the article you posted where they ask him not to use their trademarks. I've seen lots of 3rd party repair shops use the Apple logo which is what gets the legal team on you, I assume this is what's happening here.

I assume this is what's happening here.

And you’d be wrong. You can check out his website or videos and see he never uses the logo anywhere

Well then I'm wrong 🤷‍♂️ I guess Apple don't like him getting so big. Good luck to him, he'll need it.
