I'm glad to hear this. But I'll wait a little bit before getting excited. The last independent repair program... was more a miss than a hit.
I want to hope for the best, wanting this not to be just a PR move, but a genuine effort from someone or a team inside Apple wanting to produce less e-waste, and a lasting devices.
I was watching videos restoring Macbooks from 2007 and was incredible how easy was to serve the most prone-to-fail components and upgrade tech that will eventually get better like RAM. So repair was in Apple's DNA, hope still it is (I'm aware the chance is low).
I will bet despite being counterintuitive easy to repair devices it's good for Apple in the long run. Most people upgrade because of the status that gives you "having the last iPhone", but those cheap 2nd hand devices could be the ideal option for someone to get into their ecosystem for the first time.
