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.

It depends on how you're using it. If you're presenting yourself as an authorized repair facility and you aren't actually one, that could be a major issue.

Apple gives rights to their partnered repair centers to use their logos in certain situations. It sounds like this guy's use of the logo was not within the licensing.
