I don’t know. It might be better if Apple controls the repair process. The reason is that my iPhone 11 stores a great deal of information including my Apple Card. I don’t want any of that info getting out into the wild. In addition, the latest cellphones are very complex. The latest iPhone used a 3D circuit board! Who has knowledge and skill to work on that? Look I’m all for people trying to make a living repairing stuff but the cellphone might be an item that falls outside the mean.

Plenty of people have the knowledge to repair these things. Apple isn't doing anything so fundamentally different in its designs that professionals outside Apple are incapable of understanding or repairing their devices.

A circuit board is a circuit board. The difficulty of repairing it has more to do with access to it. Apple makes non destructive disassembly quite difficult.

You can use official Apple services if that is your opinion. Should people who disagree be withheld the right to commission completely independent repair?
