"Apple's Shift: Embracing California's Right-to-Repair Movement"
Apple has expressed support for California's right-to-repair bill, SB 244, which would require manufacturers to provide customers and independent repair shops with the necessary tools, manuals, and parts for repairing electronics and appliances. Despite previously lobbying against such laws, Apple has established its own self-repair programs and made efforts to improve device repairability. The company stated that it will continue to support the bill as long as it protects customer safety, data security, and innovation. The bill has already passed through the Senate and is now headed to the California State Assembly.
