Apple still does not provide him the parts required to do the board repair that he's known for, even if he did sign up for their authorized repair nonsense.
Apple's repair providers don't perform board repair, you're promoting a false equivalency. It's like telling someone with a flat tire to take their car back to the dealership.
For the record, Rossman cannot get the specific parts that he wants, you're saying that he could pay $600 for a first-party logic board replacement when the only thing wrong is a blown capacitor that costs a nickle.
That’s a pretty quick jump to ad hominem / character association for very low stakes.
Rossman’s level of transparency and willingness to address errors is unparalleled.
Using non-original parts in the context of Apple actively making it impossible to obtain such parts - and loudly complaining about it while fighting for right of repair legislation is … not lying, that’s for sure.
