I'd have an easier time feeling relieved if the limited parts selection and prices weren't obviously calculated to make self-repair extremely undesirable. Not to mention you can't order a part until you've registered with Apple - ensuring third parties can't sock up on parts for quick in-store repairs. Parts availability and pricing wouldn't be so much of a problem if Apple would stop getting in the way of third parties replacing broken parts with with genuine OEM parts from donor devices, selling those parts themselves, and sharing schematics for component-level repairs. The vitality of the classic car community is an excellent example of how valuable the used parts market is to independent repair. It's a start and Apple deserves credit for taking a few steps in the right direction. But the limitations of this program highlight how it is obviously nothing more than ammunition for their lobbying efforts against the right-to-repair movement.
