I don't buy it! Apple being Apple probably those tools will cost tens of thousands of dollars for third party repair shops and a new model will need to be purchased for every new iphone line making it non-viable financially for smaller repair shops from the start. Also repair parts will cost so much, which also factoring repair costs, the difference between fixing a device and buying a new one will be small pushing people towards replacing their devices making all of this irrelevant. I don't trust the company that charges $200 for an extra 8GB RAM upgrade to provide sane costs for replacement parts. You want a new screen for your iphone? Sure its available but the part from Apple costs $500. Another $100 for the repair shop to install it and you are looking at a $600 bill. So do you fix it or do you just fork another $200 and just get a brand new one? The only way this works is to make sure companies sell the replacement parts at cost.

Problem with this is that is a slippery slope! First is the big companies paying more for using more bandwidth. Once they set a precedent for paying more when using more then the individual consumer will be next. And then here comes the internet bundles where they will sell you internet packages depending on usage. You want video streaming its X price. You want the chat/social network bundle is Y price. Once they start they will never stop.
