The reality can be something different but on most first world countries, electronic devices are recycled. But I never agreed with Apple not selling those parts. The question is: between DIY with Apple expensive parts and do everything on Apple, is there a big difference? I never needed repair outside the warranty on my phones, so I know nothing about it.
I heard that for brand new models, though I never needed so I don't know how much doors it cost, I heard from friends that needed a new screen that Apple charged for a 2 year model an acceptable amount (I imagined around 150€). Care to put a price on it?
How much does it cost to put a new screen on an iPhone 13 Pro Max? And a new battery on an iPhone 12 Pro Max?
