Yes and: Requiring genuine parts reduces risk of silent hardware pwnage. Which is a no-negotiable requirement these days.

I demand that Apple makes genuine parts available to end users and 3rd repair shops.
And being 100% pro Right to Repair, I support repairs with non-genuine parts.
For peace of mind, have your gear repaired by Apple. For the cost sensitive and tinkerers, you have options.
- LtWorf 1y agoProblem with doing repairs by apple is that they always go with "let's replace the motherboard"
- SoftTalker 1y agoBecause the time spent on diagnosing the specific problem and replacing just the faulty component would cost more.
- serf 1y agothat's charitable. I would presume that the world's third largest company by market cap would be attracted to that option because it's the most profitable thing to do. Yes -- there is a nuance between 'most profitable' and 'most thrifty'.
- nozzlegear 1y agoHow does AppleCare factor into your presumption?
- LtWorf 1y agoIt makes people buy apple?
- astrange 1y agoYou don't get to be an extremely profitable company by doing things that cynical people online assume are the most profitable thing to do, since they always pick the most evil option assuming it's most profitable.
