Apple: iPhones Are Too 'Complex' to Let You Fix Them

The company's message is that rather than repairability, the company designs its products for "durability."
"Our first thought is, 'You don't need to repair this.' When you do, we want the repair to be fairly priced and accessible to you," she added. "To think about these very complex products and say the answer to all our problems is that you should have anybody to repair and have access to the parts is not looking at the whole problem."
It's simple: if you buy a product, you own it. If you want to smash it, you can. If you want to let someone else repair it, you can. Apple has absolutely no interest in durability; it wants to sell as much new hardware as possible.
