This is true, but there is absolutely a solution here that Apple could implement: verification of users who want genuine replacement parts.

Apple could empower their customers to be good citizens of the earth who want to reduce electronic waste while simultaneously making the lives of thieves difficult.

The most difficult aspect would be warranty, shipping damage, assembly damage and false claims arising under all three by less scrupulous individuals and criminal groups.

They likely considered the possibility and decided that it wasn’t worth the extra hassle.

How would this prevent a shop from using stolen phones as parts for repairs?
