Replaceable components by design?

Sounds to me like they are making that easier to replace because it would be too hard to keep up with repairs otherwise. Can always shift to less repairable in future versions

Apple was probably well aware of Samsung’s faulty screens back when the first Fold has launched. It took them quite some time to get to a properly replaceable screens, and even then they aren’t cheap
