I do think it's fair for Apple to say, "Hey, we can't ensure this device is properly repaired unless we are the ones to repair it." Maybe some sort of "Apple-certified repair place" program... I think that exists today. I don't think Apple should be forced to sell raw parts; it's not part of their business model. You're free to buy more modular hardware... things you can easily repair. That's a selling point, right? But Apple should be free to do business however they want to do business. You're free not to buy Apple products, but you shouldn't be free, as a consumer, to insist they make schematics and parts available. You can choose to support companies that sell parts if you want!
