For your previous comment. Do I assume you are a genX?

- one can give tons of reasons for non-repairable devices but the planet has only so much resources. Eventually Apple will enter the group of terrible companies like exxon/BP. Sure Tim Cook will be having the billions but if more companies like tesla is following apple's strategy if vertical integration

Either govts will interfere

Or

Planet is trashed.

- TV, phones have always been repairable. Even recently some one posted repairing a sony Trinitron.

- even if apple doesnot want to do the repair of a chip, capacitor they can make them available

- or not sue if 3rd party does it

- Louis rossman can replace a failed charging chip from an old logic/mother board. He/others like ifixit only tell apple to supply it or allow others to manufacture.
