Apple’s ‘Recycled’ Macs Aren’t What They Seem

You can't undo screws, remove a connector, and put the screws back? Granted it's harder now that they've purposefully made it ridiculously hard so you take it to their repair centers but it's not like replacing a screen or battery required a PhD before...

And seeing the mess that third party unauthorized repair people make out of iPhone repairs, I wouldn’t trust most people to do it right.

An iPhone battery replacement is $29 (at least until the end of the year), how much do you think an iPhone screen would cost on the open market?

I’m seeing prices of $170 for an iPhone X repair kit.

It’s about $100 more to get it done right with a warranty.
