Are you claiming that Apple is (actively?) stopping owners of Apple made devices from repairing their devices?

If that is so, I guess I'm lucky that Apple did not come get me cause I have replaced my iPhones' batteries and touch screens with cheap parts ordered online.

Wonder why Apple didn't come get all those shops sprouting all over where I live claiming to be able to repair Apple iDevices. Pretty sure they are not approved by Apple.

So Apple get chastised because not ALL of it's devices' parts (laws of physics not withstanding) can be replaced by third party, while Mercedes gets a pass because some of their car parts cannot be replaced by third part components?

Kind of biased don't you think?
Which Mercedes parts cannot be replaced by third party components?

I was responding to another poster on this point. I did not make it.

In any case, you should know very well what the discussion points are. This is a deflection from the points being made. Good try tho.

Maybe you should reread his post. He was referring to Mercedes not being held responsible if you botch your own repair. He said the same thing for Apple. Good try tho.
