>This is not the same issue you are talking about. You're right, car repairability is an even bigger issue than phones. >Cars are repairable, phones are not New cars are repairable only by the authorized dealer, with authorize parts and tools, and those parts are maliciously engineered as modules where for a 2$ defective connector the dealer will replace a 1000$ module and electrical harness because they don't sell the 2$ connector separately, they sell the whole thing as a module/kit. How is that not anti consumer and anti environment? If my phone breaks and can't easily fix it, I can buy a new one for 200$, or keep my old one as a backup until I figure out something. Meanwhile if my car breaks, I can't buy a new car on a whim, and most people also can't afford to keep a backup car around. This is a WAY bigger issues than non repairable phones. A defective car is a much bigger household expense than a broken smartphone.
