iPhones and iPads aren't green. And even though I got ticketed drag racing a Chevette with a racing front end and a small block V8, Chevettes are not sports cars.
The efforts of skilled workers investing time and material on a one off change do not change the nature of the basic product.
Not even if you clap your hands and believe really really hard.

There's one difference: whenever your car is broken down and you don't have the skills/tools to do it yourself, you can go to any generic garage, or even ask a friend who has the skills/tools to fix it for you.
Whenver your battery on your very expensive Iphone is dead, you cannot ask a generic phone fixer with the right skills/tools or that friend with the same, to fix it for you.
