AI Summary

The interview describes a personal experience with an aging iPhone 14 whose battery is failing and performance is slowing.

Using third‑party components such as screens or cameras can trigger feature lockouts because the device may not recognize them. Rossmann uses this example to illustrate broader concerns about the right‑to‑repair and the limitations imposed by manufacturer policies.
