Overall, iFixit gave the ‌iPhone Air‌ a provisional repairability score of 7 out of 10, because it’s easier to get to the battery and not too difficult to replace a screen. Apple has also made efforts to release spare parts and manuals for ‌iPhone‌ repair, and has scaled down software locks and restrictions on parts pairing, improving its ‌iPhone‌ repairability scores.

I guess that’s a step in the right direction
