> They aren't against repair, they just want to make sure that they make a lot of money from repairs
Last time I went to an Apple Store I asked about repairing the power button of a (then) three year old device and the answer was “buy a new one, your device is too old”. So, I put in doubt that they favor repairs, as in the end new devices make more money.
Needless to say, my device still works perfectly (except for the button) two years after that comment, and probably will do so for several years more.
