    Get ready for big, thick phones with standard phillips screws all over the place, plastic clips with no glue allowed. Replaceable batteries that go flying all over the pace when the phone gets dropped, like they used to. Get ready for do-it-yourselfers to destroy their devices after opening them up and then expect Apple to replace it free. These would be the perfect devices that iFixit would design.
    Hmm, this is odd. I've never once suggested regulation should dictate that the device be designed with a specific screw or adhesive. I've said repeatedly that it's our job to figure out how to fix it. What Right to Repair advocates for, is that the manufacturer not be able to tell a chip manufacturer they can't sell us a charging chip.
     
    Further, this has nothing to do with expecting a manufacturer to repair something a consumer destroyed. Magnuson Moss says the burden of proof is on the manufacturer to demonstrate that the consumer destroyed the product & voided the warranty, which is pretty easy to do in these situations.
