There clearly is a trade off.
The rest of your complaints are just about commercial concerns, they have nothing to do with the environmental impact of these devices.

How the fuck don't have an impact if 1 Apple approved repairs cost more and Apple "encourages" you to buy a new device 2 most people don't have an Apple store near by, so it makes it even more expensive and time consuming to get your device fixed. From 1 and 2 results Apple approved repairs are more expensive and time consuming where it results (obviously) with less repair happening results more e-waste.
- p1necone 5y agoThere is no tradeoff. Apple providing the same schematics and spare parts that they already use internally to third party repairers and consumers is not going to magically make their products thicker or heavier. And I fail to see how any of this would have a negative environmental impact.
