I remember there is a LTT video saying that buying components from this self service repair is more expansive than their official repair service, you need a device serial number to buy some major components. So it is probably not really for independent repair shops, just a lip service.

I remember watching this video. If I recall correctly, he was including the cost of the tools to repair as well and not just components.

I'll need to re-watch and update this comment.

I was wrong, parent comment is correct. Program is priced to be more expensive and less convenient than taking it to an Apple Store or buying/upgrading to a new phone.

this is why right to repair needs to exist. apple is just paying a lip service right now.

This "service" is how Apple is trying to fight right to repair.
