The injuries usually have different causes though.

For car accidents there is usually human action or inaction at fault. It is possible for parts to be at fault but that's the minority of cases.

For phone injuries it is usually a faulty part at fault.

If someone sharpened their iPhone and went on a killing spree I don't think anyone would be asking which parts are inside.

Note that I support the right to repair. I just don't think this particular analogy is a good one.

Then Apple should have no issues selling good parts for repair but they are not doing that as well.

I fully agree. I support the right to repair, I just disagreed with the specific analogy.

Isn’t it the impact of Apple’s strict rules on repairs? People get used to thinks that they can’t replace any part by themselves. Thus any accident happened, people automatically thinks it caused by Apple itself. For car, it has been known we can replace anything. So most of the time when there is accident people don’t think it is related to manufacturer fault.
