> As someone who has repaired numerous cell phones over the last decade, I firmly believe the new iPhone is now far easier to repair than the new Samsung Galaxy, and I challenge you to prove me wrong. It might now be the most repairable mass market phone. You are the one making grandiose claim. Is it full of glue? Yes. Do they still tie spare parts origin to functionalities semi-arbitrarily? Yes. Are there spare parts far more expensive that they should be considering their actual costs? Also yes. > Disagreements over that not being the place of a government aside, while I suppose they could screw it down like a laptop, this is my point, they made it better and you’re still complaining. They could just do like the Fairphone or any other companies from the past decade and make it properly swapable. Once again, I don't want them to make it better. I want them to make it properly repairable. I don't give a tosh that it's improving. They have unlimited budget if they want to. > This grandstanding that there is a moral requirement of companies to design products in the way you want is silly. It's not grandstanding. If you want to bury your head in the sand and pretend there is no issue with e-waste and obsolescence, that's your choice. Sadly we share the same planet so I will still do everything I can to force Apple to actually make good choices considering they don't seem to be able to do so unless they are forced to.
