Ironically, Apple making third party repairs difficult by not selling genuine spare parts and not publishing service guides increases the risk of an iPhone exploding, because it pushes third parties towards sourcing parts from shady sources. Why third parties exist at all? They must be doing something better: either they're cheaper, faster, more competent, in more convenient locations, or something else along these lines. Apple has long repair times and that would be my argument for preferring a local repair shop over shipping the phone or computer god-knows-where.
