Because there are also off-brand "Apple iPhone camera's" (for instance QC failures from the factory, third shifts or clones)

There are no 3rd party iphone camera's for recent iphones.

Apple blocks replacing an iphone camera with an iphone camera using their software.

Apple (and authorizaed repair shops) can and will repair iPhone 12's.

Just wondering how often you'd need camera repair. I've never heard of someone needing a camera replacement for their phone, so to me this looks like a guy inflating a niche problem to enormous proportions to make a point for his sponsors.

Louis is a repair guy, not some guy working "for his sponsors."

The camera is an example of unrepairability.
