If you’ve got 16 minutes, listen to Louis Rossmann describe how much of a joke it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rCUF-V1esM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rCUF-V1esM The short version is that Apple (a) does not let those stores order components in bulk, which means 2+ week turnaround on a repair that an independent store can do in 15 minutes, and (b) limits those stores to screens and batteries for iPhones. You can’t fix iPads, can’t fix Macs, can’t fix anything other than these two components.
