You are confusing being able to repair with being able to use compatible parts. You absolutley can replace parts in apple products. You can even use unauthorized third party parts (and if you can't that should change). What you cannot do both with apple and car makers is force them to make parts that are compatible with some standard. A car maker can do whatever they want with the car design so long as it functions safely. > one is forcing Apple to make their screen compatible with a Samsung phone, or a part inside an AirPod fit inside a Bose headset. They are forcing apple to make their charging and interface ports USB so that it is compatible with what samsung uses. They are forcing apple to have 3rd party app stores so it is like Samsung. > You are describing anti-competitiveness and monopoly abuse. No, you are. State sponsored anti-competitiveness is no better. IPhone users like how iphone works, those who don't can switch to android phones with third party app stores and usb ports. Keep in mind also how android phones in europe are much more popular than iphone. The EU is coming up with anti-american company rules.
