Many independent repair shops use high-quality parts, and consumers can check reviews or rely on past experiences to determine the quality of the repair before choosing a shop that works for them. Risk-averse consumers who are able to afford the higher upcharge can still choose to go to Apple for repairs if they want to. Obstructing independent repair options does a disservice to the consumers who prefer them.

In my experience, even the "high quality parts" are junk.

And regardless how high the quality is, these are still basically counterfeit products. Nobody would think it's okay for a company to sell counterfeit iPhones. Why is it okay to sell counterfeit iPhone components?

You can’t be serious about this. Where are these high quality reviews?
