We need to have a serious chat about iPhone repairability. We judged the phones of yesteryear by how easy they were to take apart—screws, glues, how hard it was…
While I personally wouldn’t repair my own iPhone. If I need it done I would want to go to an Apple Store anyway.
This makes selling on your phone for other people to fix and use and sell on and use again virtually impossible, which would’ve been more sustainable than just binning the phone.
It’s especially shitty since they also announced net zero plans. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

SIMPs don’t think big picture but you do make a very valid point…
