iFixit Shares iPhone 14 Teardown, Praises New Design With Easily Removable Display and Back Glass

Can't help but think of when Jobs came back to Apple and immediately slashed their confusing product lines.
Apple is starting to go down that road again.
It's not 'extra room' - they just didn't come up with two different interior layouts for the iPhones with and without SIM trays.
If they can ship eSIM only next year, that will be filled with battery or some other components
Apple checks for changed parts and disables functionality not as an anti-repair tactic, but as an anti-theft tactic. Makes parting out stolen phone a less attractive option and reduces the incentive to steal phones for the parts. Apple has processes that certified repair places can follow to bless the new parts and get them working again.
Does iFixit repair apple products using genuine parts?
I am in UK and when I went to Apple store in Covent Garden they quoted for my 2nd gen Ipad pro screen replacement 12.9 540 paunds
where I live there are apple authorised service centres , do they use genuine ipad parts or in my case glass screen replacement?
thank you

No, no, this is clearly not true, because many resident experts here on MacRumors have told us that the design is exactly the same as last year.
So considering iFixit's list of reparability scores, we have:
1) On the one hand, with a score of. 7/10, the iPhone 14 is now the most-repairable current phone (other than the Fairphone, which gets a 10). Trailing it are the Pixels (5-6), Hwawei (4), and Samsungs (2-4).
2) On the other hand, iFixit describes the redesign as revolutionary, yet the increase in repairability, while welcome, seems only incremental based on the score (last year's iPhones scored a 6). But, given how tightly optimized these designs are for performance, I guess it take a substantial redesign to get an incremental improvement in repairability.

Our engineers tear down the latest smartphones and score their repairability from 0 to 10. What are the most repairable phones? Let’s find out.

You are the sole arbiter for what’s moral and what’s not? Seriously? Legally Apple sole responsibility is to their shareholders only, and they are doing a great job there!
I think you're the type of person who's glass is always half empty, right?
Bummer that they’ve done nothing with the space freed up by removing the SIM card tray, but I expected as much while international models still have it. The good news is next year will probably be SIM free globally and they’ll take the time to redesign the internals, perhaps larger battery can occupy the empty space.
I am confused how these phones can maintain their waterproof rating if the panels are secured with only two screws, and there is no more adhesive.

Excellent news.
Except for the part where "System Configuration is required after back glass is replaced". WTAF.

The internals look like a work of art. Apple should be proud and show it off much like their silicon architecture.
I like the new design and where Apple is going with the ability to repair the back glass as well as the front screen. I think to the average Joe repairing isn't that exciting.
The repairability of the iPhone 14 kills the argument on whether to choose a new regular 13 vs the regular 14.
For the 100$ difference the iPhone 14>iPhone 13
Cost to repair iphone 13 back glass no applecare? $449
iPhone 14 back glass no apple care? $169

"Why didn't Apple mention this?"
"We convinced Apple to make it more repairable."
I think Apple sees the "aggressive negotiations" slightly differently. They did this because we forced them to, not "convinced" them. If it was up to them, they would have done something else.
They will soon be "gently convinced" to use USB-C as well, and somehow I don't see that as being the major feature of the next products either.
