>We don’t, so it’s not clear why you’re even saying this. Because you demanded the user should chose if the wants a product with the "repairable" feature , so I assume your logic should be consistent and you would also like to have the option to say pay less and get an iPhone with no warranty. For some reasons we force warranty and IMO for the exact same reason we should for basic repair ability ( diagnostic software,schematics, parts and ability to remove the DRM) I hope this is more clear, we can talk about tractors or fridges so we can avoid the Apple bias.

> so I assume your logic should be consistent and you would also like to have the option to say pay less and get an iPhone with no warranty. What did I say that has anything to do with warranties? > For some reasons we force warranty This is just false. We don’t force warranties. Companies are free to sell products without warranties. Customers generally prefer warranties so companies provide them. > and IMO for the exact same reason we should for basic repair ability ( diagnostic software,schematics, parts and ability to remove the DRM) I hope this is more clear, It’s clear that your analogy is false. Customers want warranties so they choose products which have them. You mentioned earlier that android devices are as bad to repair, but that isn’t true either: https://www.fairphone.com/en/ https://www.fairphone.com/en/ If customers want repairability they can have it. No need to force apple to do anything. > we can talk about tractors or fridges so we can avoid the Apple bias. Tractors and fridges are not like computers, this is a silly analogy.

  Really? can you buy a phone or electronic device (new) that has say 1 month or less warranty in your country? In EU is is 2 years and you have the option to buy more I will disagree that computers are special, why should replacing a fan or changing the disk on my computer be only done by approved people or even worse I have to buy a new one?
