I wonder if there's any way to unlock the parts once they've been separated from the phone that locked them. It definitely seems like they're just trying to kick the can on right to repair and say they're definitely dedicating resources to sustainability and consumer protection.

I guess Apple will have a database with locked phones and their respective parts. So when the owner of that marked stolen device marks it as unstolen, it should in theory be removed from the locked parts list.
