... but that's because Apple won't sell original parts to 3rd party repair shops ...

  They can buy them from selfservicerepair.com which is literally the Apple official parts distribution system.

    That's the one that includes 200 kg worth of tools that you have to send back? More malicious compliance.

      You don't have to use the tools. I've used it to replace a duff USB-C port on my daughter's M2 air with my own tools (which happen to be exactly the same Wera ones that they send out if you want them to) So that's two wrong points in a row? Not sure where you're getting your information from.

        Good for you. I'd prefer to pay a 3rd party repair shop of my choice to do that, and have them handle ordering the part. I'd also like to pay just for the part, not for receiving the tools and sending them back...
