edit: since many seem to be confused: he doesn’t use the Apple logo anywhere on his website (you can check above) or in his videos — Apple is upset because the iPhones shown in his videos have the Apple logo on the back of the device which can be seen in the video while he’s repairing it.

In the letter from Apple’s law firm, they have specifically asked him to stop repairing Apple devices.

He’s not passing them off as official repairs (although he does use genuine parts whenever those parts are still in circulation).

Are you saying repair videos should blur the parts of the device’s enclosure where the logo appears? This seems excessive
