And THIS is why i support parts pairing. 3 years ago, the LCD and battery could be resold making this worth it. This year - nope. I dream of a world where even the little screws that hold my iPhone together are parts-paired so stealing it costs more in effort than the possible $ recovered from it!

Agreed. Anti-theft is a higher priority for me than repairability.

  I value autonomy more. I'm not someone interesting enough to observe, but I still want my privacy. I'm not so poor as that I have to take whatever I can get, but I still want to own what I buy, and have the freedom to do anything with it, including crimes if I so choose. I won't commit crimes, and if I do I will pay the price, but I don't want a nanny to prevent me from doing precrimes that I would not have done in the first place. I am not a mindless sheep, I require no societal shepherd. All of that was said to say, I want the devices I purchase to be repairable by anyone that I deem worthy of repairing it, including myself.

  fine, pair the parts, but also: let the owners unpair them, same as you can lock/unlock your phone. Voila! both repairability and anti-theft gained! Pairing is just anti-repair atm. if you want to know how: put the part ids (which are used for pairing) into the apple id account and verify them when switching on the phone.

The part pairing isn't the problem, it's that you can't unpair parts. Creating a secure unpair process would not be beyond Apple's capabilities.

  Yes, it would be great to have the best of both worlds.

  End-to-End Encryption isn't the problem, it's that you can't intercept when needed (by the government only of course). Creating a secure intercept process would not be beyond Apple's capabilities.

The world you describe is much worse for the environment.
