The mid frame makes the back panel easier to get off, and you can now open the phone from front or back. Fuck all that does if they won’t let anyone sell you parts below their ridiculous price.
Mind you lots of iPhone parts, ones not even trying to falsely claim to be official parts, just replacements, get stopped by customs on Apple’s behalf.
Even when parts can be found, more and more of apple device components are software locked… so replacing them is pointless.
As far as this bill goes, I’m with Louis rossmann. Apple supported the bill, I can only assume there’s something wrong with it we’re just not seeing yet. We’ll just have to see what apple actually does under this law. I’m almost certain theirs some malicious compliance shit about to happen.
Thanks for the additional information. I wasn’t in line to buy an iPhone 15 just yet; when I said “if it turns out it’s more repairable” I mean if it stands the test of time I might consider an iPhone 17 or 18…
