“[Parts pairing] is completely unnecessary, has no benefit, and serves only to prevent users from easily swapping parts,” Collin told me.

Collin is wrong. Parts pairing totally kills the illegal parts market and I absolutely love that. Make stolen stuff utterly useless for criminals to eliminate the demand.

I love the new one where parts can be transplanted if the phone is not activation locked though.
