That's not a reason to prevent people from repairing/altering their products themselves if they want to.
People who didn't have the skills and didn't know a repair shop they trust could still pay for AppleCare, but AppleCare should have to compete on value, not be the only option because Apple locked down the product.
- setquk 8y agoIt's no different to having to buy a TX8 screwdriver because you don't have one already. Even the big brands make them now: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/screwdrivers/1230844/ https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/screwdrivers/1230844/ I have replaced various things on Apple products over the years myself and have had no problems at all. It's not exactly prevention!
