Apple now endorses Right to Repair legislation (www.404media.co)

I believe this is genuine support of the bill from Apple. Between Right to Repair winning in Massachusetts and the EU demanding compliance, I think Apple decided to flip the script. They would want to continue the illusion of customer friendly tech.

I hope you are right. More end-user freedom is a good thing and, if it is a matter of turning the tide, I'd love to see more tech companies competing to be the most accessible for repairs.

That sounds like a pleasant little dream you had. A good nap.

Honestly though I can’t even comprehend how that could ever happen. What events would have to take place? Teddy Roosevelt coming back from the dead?!
