Are they seriously praising apple for repairability ?

The same company that locks people people and third party company out of repairing their phone with parts that are serial coded. I don't know any other company that does that.

And they can't even pretend it's for security like with faceid, it would be possible to wipe the phone when a part is not recognized. I'm sure people would be fine with it.

I believe they are only making these changes to appease the law makers, and in the case of the battery because Europe said they will need to be replaceable.

This is just corporate doing corporate stuff, nothing to praise.

For me the day they locked me out of my apple watch because I dared to replace it's broken screen is when I realized apple is full of shit when it's about repairability and especially about environment.
