      Which is the type of repair bill I don’t want. I would like to just source a donor phone and transplant parts to make it work again, aka reducing wastes. (and protecting my bank acc)

      However, with a big player like Apple support this defective bill, it got a high chance to pass and set the standard.

          I agree. Security components, fine. Just let me skip over that.

          However, what on earth they need to serialize the monitor and battery?!?! Calibration? How come I don’t need calibration for my PC monitor nor my camera batteries? Does it work to its fullest? No. Does it work. Yes. That all I want.

      Not DRM

      Apple doesn’t care […]. If you buy certain components you have to contact them for assistance activating them.

      You are contradicting yourself

          Oh, yeah, you are right. Sorry, I’m just too much used to calling DRM as Digital Restrictions Management.

          You have to contact them to assist you in pairing the devices to avoid warnings, just like a repair center does, but you are not actually activating them with Apple.

          Do you mean that the devices actually boot with the replacement parts, but they also show a warning about them? If so, did this change recently (as in, last few years), or was it always that way since digitally signed parts became a thing?
