It's different in that the latest-gen iPhone is a bigger challenge.

It's the same in that loads of people say it's impossible when it actually just requires a new bag of tricks.

Part of the confusion was over the T2 chips that were added back in 2018 that were reportedly[1] bricking computers if non genuine parts were used locking out independent repairers.[2] I'm not sure if that functionality is actually active though.
