> iFixit's business incentives are more aligned with the interests of consumers

A device that breaks and needs repair is the last thing consumers want.

The best thing for consumers would be for ifixit’s business to become irrelevant.

[commoner]

Until phones and other electronics become indestructible, iFixit and independent repair shops continue to serve a consumer need by offering more cost-effective repair options than Apple and other manufacturers do.

Sure - but of course ifixit profits from devices that break easily, whereas Apple benefits from making devices more and more indestructible, which is why they keep working on that.
