I believe making devices more easily repairable instead of planned obsolesce is a good thing.
Very much so. The amount of electronic waste in the world is honestly mind boggling. A lot of the electronic waste form United States is shipped to developing counties as a cheap way to get rid of it. I imagine we're not the only ones doing it. That said, planned obsolesce, even with devices being easily repairable, is still unavoidable. Moore's law is still a thing to contend with. It doesn't matter if you iPhone becomes easily repairable because people will still buy a new one every 1-3 years due to the old model becoming slow and outdated.
