:I wonder whether this might be better reframed - as the practices that lead to e-waste are often anti-consumer, we should be framing them from an anti-consumer perspective rather than an environmental one. maybe 'Apple's anti-repair and anti-refurbishment practices', or something similar?

==Question== | |||
I am unable to see how "Blocking 3rd-party apps" falls under anti-repair and anti-refurbishment (if we are talking about general Jailbreaking/Cydia or alternative app stores). I feel like it should stay on the main Apple article. [[User:Mr Pollo|Mr Pollo]] ([[User talk:Mr Pollo|talk]]) 16:25, 12 September 2025 (UTC) | |||
:Agree. The original title of this page was 'apple's e-waste [something]', but I don't think it would have fit there either. [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 16:27, 12 September 2025 (UTC) | |||

::To my knowledge, repair shops use external devices to diagnose iPhones, [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EUlhTPLfrV0 like here]. Correct me if i'm wrong though, as I really know of that one example. [[User:Mr Pollo|Mr Pollo]] ([[User talk:Mr Pollo|talk]]) 16:32, 12 September 2025 (UTC) | |||
