Repair-first programs are changing the conversation around device ownership. Instead of treating electronics as short-cycle disposables, they frame maintenance and support as part of the value proposition.

For ecommerce operators, this is a strong reminder that after-sale support can be both an impact story and a commercial differentiator.
