       Apple just pivoted hard into self-repair and I just fell out of my seat.https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/11/apple-announces-self-service-repair/

       "The initial phase of the program will focus on the most commonly serviced modules, such as the iPhone display, battery, and camera. The ability for additional repairs will be available later next year."

       Remember when you could buy an aftermarket battery, pop the back off a phone, and just put it in? Sheesh.

       "Following the repair, customers who return their used part for recycling will receive credit toward their purchase."Uh this rules actually.

       Get ready for thousands of videos of people destroying and then repairing iPhones.

       @maxeddy You can repair your device, with their permission, with their parts, and on their schedule.This is "self repair", with none of the digital autonomy that that concept normally implies.

       @nat the "autonomy" part is what they hate the most.A dependent individual reliably does what you tell them to, and more importantly, pays when you tell them to.Autonomous one may. Or they may not. Unpredictable, bad for business.@maxeddy

       @maxeddy wow this is just... :kelwha: really surprising. Up until now I always saw apple as one of the WORST companies for right to repair, it's very interesting to see them take this approach right after they made that whole anti sideloading presentation :calcthonk:
