“It feels like the Berlin Wall of tech repair monopolies is starting to crumble, brick by brick.”
Feeling like that just screams how corrupt our government is. Apple shouldn’t get a vote, and their approval is the last thing that should be required to approve this.
Corporations should have to work in whatever environment consumer protection laws let them have, instead of dictating what protections we get.
Apple just wants to get in on the ground floor so they can shape the legislation to benefit themselves. There’s no way in hell a company as blatantly anti-repair as apple has suddenly decided to shift it’s priorities when it makes them absolute bank.

The only “Apple” that I will believe when it comes to supporting right to repair is Steve Wozniak.
