You are either a troll or an idiot. Maybe both. I hope I'm wrong though.

You must not know anything about the R2R movement, the Right To Repair. Apple certified techs aren't allowed access to schematics or parts, their entire goal is to sell you a new device.

No need to be rude.

Again, youre wrong. Both Apple and Samsung release repair manuals and provide replacement parts. Literally no one has a problem getting either phone repaired.

I’m all for right to repair, but android phones suck for planned obsolescence so acting like they’re better about this is delusional. Don’t give them a pass.

They only claim to do this, in reality people who own repair shops don't think they are doing it in good faith

Are Samsung and Sony providing repair kits in “good faith”? I think they’re all horrible, but no one has a problem getting their phones fixed.

You need a lot more effort. For example, an iPhone repair kit comes with 3 different screwdrivers. One of mine didn't work well, so I have up and paid $10 to someone with a better screwdriver. Do they NEED 3 different screws?

Also see Louis Rossman, since he actually runs a repair shop, he has complaints about apples repair program

I don’t doubt that iPhones are harder to repair than they need to be. What I seriously doubt is that other major phone manufacturers are better about building with repairability and longevity in mind. (Remember, the beginning of this comment thread is claiming iPhones are especially disposable.)

Fairphone exists, it's just not popular
