The question is, how do we go about making sure that the general public as a whole is aware of the choice? For phones it seems like more of an uphill battle because people generally don’t think a whole lot about the quality of the parts going into their electronics repairs and the quality of the repair work itself until they’ve had some kind of disaster (phone catching on fire or something), whereas it’s more of a consideration for cars (perhaps due to the price difference or obvious mechanical nature of cars). At the very least though, I do think that buyers of used phones deserve to know what kind of parts were used in repairs. On cars this can be verified by looking up the car’s service records and taking it to a trusted mechanic prior to purchase but it’s not so simple with phones, which is where I think it could be useful for the OS to indicate use of aftermarket parts.
