I think you are wrong, people think a lot about repair costs, which is why Apple Care sells so good. If people didn't think of repair, why would they buy Apple Care? When the back glass on my iPhone X broke, I stopped buying iPhones. Authorized service providers would have charged more for repairing the device than it costs on the second hand market, and 3rd party repair shops would probably do a half assed job because it is so difficult to do. It's really ridiculous that the part that breaks most easily is hardest to repair. I ended up buying an Android with a plastic back, and I kind of hate some parts of it, but I also hate that iPhones are so fucking fragile.

> I think you are wrong, people think a lot about repair costs, which is why Apple Care sells so good Good point but I think this is more like an insurance because accidents happen. People also buy cases and screen protectors so they are definitely aware that these things can break but the plan is always not to break it. No one really cares if that the device would be hard or easy to repair as long as they know that repair is a thing and it is a thing because people see the shops on the high street, know apple store fixes broken iPhones or know people who got their devices repaired. Hard or easy to repair is not very relevant to most people because they wouldn't care how much effort took the technician to do their job.
