Other companies are quite willing to expend the effort to make apple-compatible parts, which are in any case often just off-the-shelf parts, sometimes with a few mods.
That's exactly why apply are tagging their parts crypto-graphically - to ensure that those other parts cannot in fact be compatible, however hard they try.
And indeed, if you've spent 20 years being a good user and obeying apple's proscribed usage patterns, hardware lifetimes, etc, you've probably never experienced user hostility.
- thebruce87m 2y agoI’m sure other companies want a share of the pie. Whether they offer identical performance or some degraded version (or better) is neither here nor there. I want genuine. People will knee-jerk on any bad news so I can understand Apples concern that third-party components get conflated with their users product experience. If a third party battery burns a house down the headline will still be “iPhone burns down a house”. You’re right that I have enjoyed the extended lifetimes that apple products afford. For iPhones this has allowed me to move to the second hand market safe in the knowledge of many more years of excellent support. Repairability is great - only if the product is still supported.
