Giving third party shops official parts would still preclude the ability to enforce anti-theft unless you also gave them the software to pair it, and then you’ve once again precluded any ability to enforce anti-theft. Apple needs to know wh

the backstory here is that TSMC N3 is a trainwreck, it's now separated into two different nodes, N3B (for bad) and N3E (enhanced). N3E gets the promised step that was originally for N3, but it only enters volume production next year.
