Repair shops have the tools. And yes, they'd have to wait on parts for the serial number of the device, but that's what you get for buying Apple lol.

When I bought my iPhone from apple I, and most other people, are of the understanding that they own their device. At least the physical hardware of it. Apple disabling my hardware with their software, and trying to prevent me from brining my phone to a third party repair shop, who will actually repair the hardware on my phone because Apple simply won’t no matter how much I’d be willing to pay, is pathetic, anti-competitive, and should be illegal.

And it’s not stopping at Apple, see Tesla doing similar things with their cars. Once manufacturers start getting away with it they will all do it.
