    Why do all these phone manufacturers get intentionally worse every year in terms of repairability?

      Because they’re the bad guys. Companies the size of nation states are an abomination that should never have existed in the first place.

    I could understand refusing to repair it but come on at least send it back.

    I don’t even know why I would use anything but the genuine Google parts. They are easily available on iFixit and aren’t too pricey. Phones are expensive and I wouldn’t want to risk damaging mine to save a couple of bucks.

      Just because you wouldn’t, means people shouldn’t be able to? Like, at all? Do with the device they bought as they wish?

        I don’t think Google should be doing this (or even reserve the right), but I don’t think it’s a good idea to use iffy parts when the genuine parts are so easily available.
