Posted July 11, 2018 Absolutely. It's not very well known, but iFixIt actually pays Linus in socks, sandals and chocolate biscuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 11, 2018 Well he gets money by getting views sooooo... Actually he did that because, in the video he said this, they qualified for return pricing. Where you have to send the original part to Apple (presumably it can be in broken or not broken condition) to get a replacement for it. Apple does this, also mentioned in the video.. Maybe not at the same place, so there are no replacement parts from third party vendors in the wild (if the glass on the display was broken, but some cable wasn't; they could sell that online.. Apple doesn't want that).
