The vast majority of androids are worse for repairability. The ones that get more than a year or two of support don’t have any parts available. The ones that do get support have far worse physical restrictions like straight up gluing parts in.
The rest you mention, >99% of people don’t do anyway.

Yes but I can choose to purchase an Android that has good repairability. Apple, once again, doesn’t give you that choice.

Gluing components in is standard practice across the industry.
What’s absolutely not standard is intentionally serializing the parts and then refusing to make the software available so that their consumers cannot repair the hardware they “own”.
Or negotiating contracts with component suppliers to ensure they don’t sell components to third party repair companies.
Or sending ICE to raid companies who manage to get them regardless.
It’s an incredibly disrespectful and user-hostile company.
lol ok.

You literally only have to call Apple to have it unlocked.
Have what unlocked?
But if you care, you can get a repairable phone like the Fairphone.
