I'm torn on repairability. The iphone would be worse by some metrics if it had to be designed in such a way that it would be repairable (size, for instance). So long as I can determine repairability (by looking at the service manual or similar) then I'm fine letting people decide for themselves what they want to buy. The only other argument I could see for a "repairability" law would be from an environmentalist standpoint, but I would want that law to allow a less-repairable item that was sufficiently recyclable.
