Self Service Repair isn't actually for you and I
(All About Windows Phone)

Perhaps provoked by a growing `Right to Repair` movement and possible legislation in several markets, Apple announced `Self Service Repair` last week. Which sounds fantastic - break a phone screen, need a new battery, just do-it-yourself. Except that despite what Apple might hint at first, Self Service Repair isn`t for the likes of you and I. Nor should it be. When I want an unusually tricky job done properly around the house, I don`t just get the right tools in from a DIY superstore, I get an experienced tradesperson in who has done the job a thousand times. And it`s the same with smartphone hardware, I contend.
