It seems like Apple might have an advantage here over other manufacturers since they have a relatively limited product lineup and sell in such massive volumes. For example, the per-unit cost of compliance for their handful of iPhone models they release every year could be less than for Samsung and their 50+ phone models they release every year [1]. Budget online sellers like "ZICOROOP" (chosen at random from Amazon [2]) might be unable to support the requirements altogether, and be forced not to sell in California. I could also see Apple customers being more willing to pay a premium for geniune Apple parts than budget smartphone and PC users, which could be a new source of revenue. Apple has also shifted more toward selling services in recent years, and seems content to let people continue to use their old hardware longer if it means they subscribe to iCloud Storage, Apple Music, Apple TV+, etc. Finally, whether you believe them or not, Apple makes a fairly big show of caring about the environment [3]. They devote a fair amount of time in all their major product announcements to talking about environmental impact. And supporting this bill is on brand for them.
