Apple backs national right-to-repair bill, offering parts, manuals, and tools

Because there is no complaint :-)

There is just a hope that a more open situation on iPhones will lead to cheaper yet decent quality repairs for older iPhones, so that it is more encouraging to repair rather than replace.

I see. Thanks for clarifying. I understood your original post as a complaint.

I think that’s it’s unlikely to see much lower prices (while maintaining quality) given that Android has that more open repair situation yet the iPhone repair pricing is on the low-mid range even now for high-quality, high-durability parts.

To make them cheaper, with high quality and high durability you need the volume pricing that Apple commands from suppliers.
