- dpkonofa 9y agoThey never tried to shut down unofficial repair shops and you're doing a disservice to the whole idea behind "right to repair" by saying that. The only thing Apple has publicly done is disagreed with and lobbied against the current "right-to-repair" legislation that's going on. They have publicly stated that they're not against the concept of people repairing their own devices but that what they're actually against is the requirement that they provide, without cost, the tools and instructions necessary for a third-party to perform the repair. Apple only cares that the repairs are done correctly. They don't care who repairs it as long as the repair doesn't cause the mistaken perception that the phone itself is faulty or poorly manufactured. They allow any third-party repair center to get certified to be an authorized Apple service center. To ignore that huge chunk of the reasons why is to be disingenuous or ignorant. They have a completely valid stance about the current bills.
