Wilmer Becerra of Wiltech, in Colombia, has more than 6 million Facebook followers and over 5 million TikTok followers
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.
This is about licensing the use of the apple logo, which makes it really bizarre, there’s no way using a logo of a product you repair for a repair service isn’t fair use, right?
There’s a case to be made that it suggests some kind of affiliation with the company. A consumer may think he’s an officially licensed repairman.
It’d be a stronger case if it was just the logo of the product, not the logo of the company.
Yeah there’s plenty of reasons to hate Apple’s anti-consumer repair/third party repair policies. We don’t need to be inventing fake ones too.
It depends on how you’re using it. If you’re presenting yourself as an authorized repair facility and you aren’t actually one, that could be a major issue.
Apple gives rights to their partnered repair centers to use their logos in certain situations. It sounds like this guy’s use of the logo was not within the licensing.
