Repairability, not reliability
If you are saying the “iWaste” comment is about repairability not reliability, I get that. My take is maybe that if something has a long lifespan despite not being repairable, it might be have a longer life before becoming waste or recyclables.
I do like that the EU is mandating user replaceable batteries and other changes and support most right-to-repair legislation.
It can't have a longer life than something that's repairable and upgradable.
Even if we imagine Apple used the highest quality components, which they most certainly didn't, anything dying means you need to completely replace the internals of your device. It's like saying a car that needs an engine replacement because of a dead spark plug can have a long life.
