      If they only replace screen there is a chance they will be able to do so, because modern iphone screens require a chip from the screen to be removed from the original and soldered in the new one.

    Can we go back to the good old days where our devices had openings for RAM and storage upgrades please?

    Especially for things like this.

        Laptops always used to. Even most of those don’t any more.

        Apple are certainly the worst offender here (want 2TB storage in your iPad Pro, that’ll be an extra £1250 please), but they’re not alone.

        The chips themselves are the most expensive parts usually, much more than a socket and additional daughterboard. And if they were all modular you can reuse those chips for other devices!

        Also, even back in the chunky early 2000s IBM Thinkpad days I never really minded the size or weight, that’s just my own opinion though.
