Idk why everyone is so damn suspicious, it seems really straightforward and it makes complete sense business wise. Let people repair their stuff, charge them an amount equal to what they’d pay to send it to official repair centers, and fire all your repair staff. It’s just stonks and these people aren’t trained so they might fail at repairing it and need to buy more. It’s easy money and makes the consumer happy
Article like this explain how they might be trying to look good and yet still do an end run.
