@DJDarren Yeah, they don't want upstarts like Louis Rossmann and iPad Rehab using spare parts to repair iThings, thereby starving Apple and its shareholders of new sales revenue.
I was given a 2nd hand iPad (my first iThing) and a year or 2 later they updated it (and iTunes), until it wouldn't play 'my' 3 Santana albums I had 'bought'.
iSupport: Your iPad is too old. Credit number, please...
Me: I don't give in to extortion. Goodbye.
