Samsung Requires Repair Shops to Snitch on People Who Use Aftermarket Parts In exchange for selling them repair parts, Samsung requires independent repair shops to give Samsung the name, contact information, phone identifier, and customer complaint details of everyone who gets their phone repaired at these shops.
my last phone is a xiaomi after a samsung s9 (both in use), but for sure i wont buy a samsung again due this. more a locale manufacturer. or a OnePlus 11 5G which is close to the S23+ for half of the price https://www.notebookcheck.com/index.php?id=73542&specs[]=335246&specs[]=335209 admitted that the s23+ has some nice features and its running time is much better beside ip68. in times where repair becomes so important for general devices samsungs newer action is neither nor acceptable, even apple has not gone that far from what i read.
