>That cut down on a lot of the robbery bullshit, but then criminals simply found new buyer classes - they'd simply part stolen devices out and resell everything but the iCloud/Knox/whatever locked mainboard. Displays, cameras, speakers, batteries, flex cables, cases, everything.
This would be way less valueble to do if the companies just sold the parts are reasonable prices.
The extreme ways fixers have to go to to source parts for legitimate repairs concerns is insane.
The entire reason there even is a whole ecosystem of people picking apart phones in Shenzen is because it's so darn difficult to source it any other way!
