@crazydutchy The fewer used devices there are out there, the more they can justify charging what they do for new ones. If there were millions of repairable older iPhones, people would be less likely to buy a new one.

@DJDarren Hmm, I guess, but that does not mean that everyone is going to use Apple's program. I still have all my old phones right here still.

So they are also not on the market, helping to reduce demand for new models?

@gothytim @DJDarren True, they are not helping that, but then... they are really not that valuable anyway.

Sure, but there are people who buy the latest phone as soon as it's out, and there are people who'd happily buy their used last-gen model. If the former use this programme instead of putting it on eBay or similar that's a sale Apple might not lose.

@DJDarren @crazydutchy Until they do the same thing they do with their computers: refuse to give older models updates anymore. That's the evil twin of this program.
