@iFixit 1/10 due to:

• #AntiRepairDesign that unnecessarily complicates repairs and disassembly compared to any other #manufacturer (espechally #fairphone!).

• #DRM on #Parts aka. #PartsPairing, mandating a #malware [a literal #RAT = #RemoteAccessTrojan] to "complete repairs".

• no legal and feasible way to obtain parts (in advance) for a #RepairShop.

• no legal way to obtain parts without [self-] #doxxing [of clients by said repair shop].

• Even if one were willing to accept that, parts will be anti-competitively priced by #Apple to make it impossible for any #IndependentRepair to make sense unless the cost of mail-in and/or travel to the next #AppleStore outweights that.

@EU_Commission
It's just infuriating bs. and the fact that one can't just pop-in genuine parts bought from Apple similar to EVERY SINGLE #Fairphone, #Samsung, #Motorola and #Lenovo #ThinkPad device is just a big #AssholeMove that should be outloawed - espechally since this is designed to prevent any #IndependentRepair from gaining tools and/or parts access...

NOONE's gonna wait WEEKS for a display or hand over a technician the IMEI / SN of a device to swap a screen - that's just arsenine!!!
