This is the best summary I could come up with:
Apple announced that it would be making all of the parts, tools, and information necessary for consumers and repair shops to fix the device maker’s products during a White House event on Tuesday.
“Apple also believes that consumers and businesses would benefit from a national law that balances repairability with product integrity, usability and physical safety.”
Until recently, Apple has fought efforts to support independent repair services by restricting access to the guides and parts necessary to fix the company’s products.
In 2021, President Joe Biden signed an executive order urging the Federal Trade Commission to crack down on companies that made consumers jump through hoops to fix their own devices.
After Biden’s 2021 executive order, Congress picked up the pace, introducing bills promoting the principles for tractor and vehicle repair and holding hearings with experts.
The FTC voted unanimously in 2021 to ramp up efforts to go after companies making everything from smartphones and farm equipment to microwaves and cars for limiting accessibility to the materials needed to repair their products.
