This doesn't surprise me at all.  Allowing third party watch faces would open up a mess of copyright/trademark issues for Apple. Users would likely want (and third parties would offer) knock off faces imitating Rolex and other famous watch faces -- and Apple would likely be sued for infringement.

Still waiting for a new silicon iMac Pro with 27" or larger screen.

Unfortunately, being late and missing meetings can get one fired.  Whether or not you support unionization.

As the owner of an iMac Pro, I'd be a customer if it has a 27" screen and sufficient RAM and storage.

Louis Rossmann is a board-level repair person and it is in his interest for these parts to be available. I do not accept his premise that it would help the average (or even moderately skilled) consumer, who likely should NOT be doing board level repairs.

The NY law requires companies to make assemblies available to those who want to install them, and this is worthwhile.

Since companies like Apple do not usually even attempt board level repairs, he would have Apple supply parts that it uses primarily in the assembly process, and are likely not readily available here for repair purposes.

As far as Rossmann, he does have a good reputation for his repairs.  He recently moved his business from NY to Austin Texas. Per wikipedia, " In August 2022, Rossmann announced his move to Austin, Texas, to work for tech independence organization FUTO; the repair business will follow in 2023." So one must consider his video with his business ties.
