Also to points I've seen made elsewhere; Apple has begun placing trademark material (ie logos) on individual parts (including ribbon cables, etc) to make use of trademark enforcement for otherwise legitimate third-party refurbished parts. He notes this in his videos discussing why he cannot source screens for phones anymore.

Where previously they could have third parties remove cracked glass from broken screens and re-laminate them to make legitimate refurb parts. However, these were deemed unauthorized refurbs (but not illegal/unlawful to make) so instead they used the logos on cables as justification to have customs seize them as "counterfeits" on behalf of trademark enforcement.

This is nonsense, refurbished screens are not counterfeits. The problem is screens that were manufactured with apple logos without apple authorization.
