    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.

    Right to repair is about actually owning the product you have purchased. And about your right to decide what you want to do with your product. As it is today, the products are so unnecessarily closely linked to software, hardware and copyright licenses that the product you have paid for in practice is not yours. Giving you real access to the product you've bought is what Right to repair is all about
