Why are we repairing ourselves?
I have been buying parts from ifixit and repairing phones and tablets for some time. Today I found out apple will repair them for half the cost of parts sold on the internet!?! WTH. I am not talking about warranty repairs, this is cash repair "I dropped it and broke it" repair! why did I not know this? I thought it must be something new. I googled and found articles from a few years ago stating the same thing. Just thought I would share and ask for your thoughts.

Another one here posted around the same time.
Just a few of many many Google search results
To me it's just a reminder to keep checking prices every time we need to buy a product or service.

Why do they not tell you that the phone will be outdated in 5 or 6 years I think they should tell you this up front, that’s not fair

@w4debor considering the frequency that they release new phones... it is obvious that a phone will become outdated very quickly. 5-6yrs is actually a long n time for this... it becomes outdated much sooner than that.
