A cracked screen repair on a recent iphone is $200, which I think is very high.

I think if they lowered the price of common repairs to "reasonable", then good things would happen.

If instead of becoming a source of profit, repairs became more costly to apple, maybe they might: make things more modular and repairable, make parts available, allow external repairs.

(I could be idealistic and wrong)



You're not wrong, but Apple won't do that while there are still people who accept and encourage this kind of consumer-hostile behavior.
