And what's the problem with having Apple authorize and vet repair shops to ensure they use genuine parts and whatnot?



The vetting isn't anywhere near the biggest issue. Did you think that's the main thing people were complaining about?

The inability to take parts out of broken phones is one of the big ones. The inability to stock up on parts so they can do a same-day replacement is also one of the big ones.


People are complaining about a lot of things. I don’t know. If there’s a secure way to stock up on parts and use parts from broken phones that also works with anti-theft goals then yes they should do that.
