> refuse service to anyone who used parts with stolen serial numbers.
- Dylan16807 6y agoThey're building on that argument. If official parts get locked down, then anyone that angers the company or wants to do their own repairs needs a new source of parts.
- vinay427 6y agoI see, thank you. I completely missed that additional layer.

- lightgreen 6y agoApple didn’t lock the parts yet afair. I recall a couple years ago they tried to lock screens and a lot of devices bricked. But I wish they locked them: where I live virtually everyone I know have their phone stolen at least once.
