yeah but someone will spin it to be negative, you know they will.Very cool.
That makes absolutely no senseThey are only doing this because they need them. They couldn't care less about the people that work at those centers.
It's just Cook being the greedy person he is, as always.

or, maybe not. BTW, if you read the article, they are not "incentivizing" a repair, they are assisting their community in dealing with COVID.

Maybe 3rd party repair shops are bailing on Apple
