I disagree, the government shouldn't require apple to produce parts, but their ability to sue should also be reduced if they don't produce spare parts.

I think consumer protections should provide nice long warranty periods that ensure you get what you paid for.

Phones are designed to be held in your hands, and hands occasionally drop things, so phones should be designed to withstand being dropped. You should be able to get a warranty replacement / repair for your phone if you drop it.

We would have stronger phones that last longer, and produce less waste.
