I noticed Apple says not replace all of the screws and never reside them. I guess that lok-tite is critical to the performance of the screw not coming… unscrewed.
Having had an out of warranty camera repair on my iPhone 12 it cost £69 in an Apple Store. Just because the price isn’t listed doesn’t mean there isn’t a cheaper option available when you go there.
This all just smacks of the same old spoilt baby (entitled) routine in most of the world today. Wanting things cheaper, thinking they are going to save a buck by being able to do it themselves but then the reality is the parts have a cost, the expertises/parts have a cost and ultimately once it’s here it’s actually no better off. I see third party app stores and payment systems going the same way.
Truth is if you are really nice and do enough business Apple will often take care of you. I had an 8 year old MacBook Pro that needed a system board once it got to Apple. They quoted $375 but as a student at the time I told them I couldn’t afford that. 3 hours later the store manager called me to say Apple was going to fix it for free as a goodwill repair. It’s why I always buy directly from apple.
