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?
