So then this changes nothing for you? Nothing in these laws prevents Apple from repairing your products.
- i_am_jl 3y agoI think their concern is that they would no longer purchase used Apple products because they couldn't know whether or not a used phone may have been repaired with worse-than-OEM parts. I happen to think that's a pretty poor justification for scuttling/kneecapping right to repair, but I wouldn't go as far as to say it changes nothing for them.

- Jcowell 3y agoThe logic being that they can get cheaper iphone independently from apple because iphones currently work against having third party parts. The third party market for apple is stronger because of that guarantee. It similar to how you can bring an iphone out more easily without worry of it being stolen for ransom since you can lock it down and wipe it remotely.
