And THIS is why i support parts pairing. 3 years ago, the LCD and battery could be resold making this worth it. This year - nope. I dream of a world where even the little screws that hold my iPhone together are parts-paired so stealing it costs more in effort than the possible $ recovered from it!
End-to-End Encryption isn't the problem, it's that you can't intercept when needed (by the government only of course). Creating a secure intercept process would not be beyond Apple's capabilities.
I value autonomy more. I'm not someone interesting enough to observe, but I still want my privacy. I'm not so poor as that I have to take whatever I can get, but I still want to own what I buy, and have the freedom to do anything with it, including crimes if I so choose.
I won't commit crimes, and if I do I will pay the price, but I don't want a nanny to prevent me from doing precrimes that I would not have done in the first place.
I am not a mindless sheep, I require no societal shepherd.
All of that was said to say, I want the devices I purchase to be repairable by anyone that I deem worthy of repairing it, including myself.
