Repair info is more accessible than ever for almost every device or appliance. Shoot, if I have something broken and I can find 10 videos of shlubby looking dudes like me fixing it, I’m going to take a crack at it 9/10 times. Just this year I’ve avoided replacing a tv due to a bad backlight strip, a dishwasher due to a common leak, my switch due to a bad battery, and a load of stuff on my cars.

I’d love it if repairability had to be engineered in from the beginning for everything at this point. It makes little sense not to

Every day I hope Apple makes back glass anything like Samsung phones, because holy shit if that breaks it's a massive pain to replace, and can easily lead to more damaged stuff with how all their cabling and such is routed.

Their newest model has replaceable back glass for like 100$ oem and will 100% have aftermarket options for under 20$ soon.
