    That’s a good point. If iPhones are more expensive to repair, then many people will dispose of them rather than repair. But I looked this up, completely expecting you to be right, and it looks like android phones like Samsung are often even more expensive to repair. So I’m still not seeing the justification for the original claim that iPhones are more disposable.

      Yeah, I didn’t do a comparison to Android phones, just DIY repairs like Louis Rossmann provides. He can replace single chips when they’re broken, making a repair cost a few cents in parts rather than hundreds of Dollars.
