Did they change their policy on not making chips not available for purchase from manufacturers?
Repair shops that have the ability to find the short in your iPhone logic board, rebuild traces and replace a destroyed lightning connector, reball a chip, etc will still have to operate without apples/samsungs/etc explicit consent as always. But if you want a chance of saving your data you’ll need one of these shops. But also maybe back up your data before your phone/laptop/pc/console gets wrecked tbf
If you do it for electronics, it can quickly become absurd for other industries. So I have the right to buy just the laser crystal for my car’s CD player? Or just one layer of palladium mesh for inside my catalytic converter?
I don’t see it ever happening.
