no, read the link before posting, it's about seemingly a replaceable parts being tied to each devices and not being transferable

  >read the link before posting (a) Please don't assume. (b) The keyword is "seemingly". Just because they are seemingly replaceable doesn't mean it would be a good idea to replace them with third party repairs in a highly minutarized device. The items being tied is a red herring. Changing the camera for example has security implications (consider that the camera module is e.g. forced to light a led when on, so that you're not recorded without knowing, and that's a hardware feature tied to the secure enclave. A changed camera module can also have implications for face id. And whose to guarantee that the third party "repaired" iPhone is still waterproof to the rating Apple provides?

    So Apple with all the money on the planet cannot separate camera module from actual image processing and data storing modules. Please, it's naive to think that way. Apple will use every possible way to make money, it's normal for any corporation. Right to repair is not a joke, its called consumer protection and is vital for the future of connected devices, cars, smart appliances.
