I don't understand why people are so hostile to the idea of reparability with electronics while we have enjoyed just that with cars forever. Much of what Apple and every other electronics company does with their products would be explicitly illegal it they were selling cars instead of gadgets. Why should those be any different?
For example, requiring repair/replacement at authorized repair centers is considered "tying" and illegal in the automotive industry. Same with denying warranty coverage for opening your devices. This is actually illegal already for electronic devices but its rarely enforced because who wants to go to court for a $500 phone for $1500 laptop?
