Consumers can _still_ get their devices repaired by Apple. They can _still_ buy used devices from Apple. How exactly does this limit consumers that desire buying parts they know Apple declares to be genuine?
- charcircuit 3y ago>How exactly does this limit consumers that desire buying parts they know Apple declares to be genuine? It doesn't. It does affect the resell value of iphones, it diminishes the trust people have in buying second hand units. Low quality parts can hurt Apple's and iPhone brand image.
- CogitoCogito 3y agoDoes it decrease the resell value? For me the phone becomes more valuable not less due to the fact that I can do more with it. There are many like me. There are many whose phones aren’t with getting fixed by Apple (hence worthless), but could be worth getting fixed by someone else. So really you simply don’t know what will happen to resell values of iPhones. They could increase or decrease. Claiming one or the other is speculation.
