If you're repairing a Samsung phone, you can log in and order a part. The price list is at https://www.samsung.com/au/support/screen-replacements/, for example.

Meanwhile, Apple does something like https://boingboing.net/2018/10/20/louis-rossman.html

Did you even read the article you posted ?

Customs seized it. Not Apple.

Did you?

> Apple is working with the government

And from the source article

>[Apple] will not allow me to replace batteries, because when I import batteries that are original they’ll tell me the they’re counterfeit and have them stolen from by [CBP].

There is no evidence from the article that Apple is working with Customs to block the imports of batteries or any other parts.

Customs in general prevents the importation of counterfeit goods. Which they determine by whether that item has a logo and if it came from a legitimate source.

Samsung Australia does not sell batteries though, you have to replace it using their support center.
