In a letter from its lobbyist, Apple 'urges' California lawmakers to pass the strongest right-to-repair law in the country.
I believe this is genuine support of the bill from Apple. Between Right to Repair winning in Massachusetts and the EU demanding compliance, I think Apple decided to flip the script. They would want to continue the illusion of customer friendly tech.
I hope you are right. More end-user freedom is a good thing and, if it is a matter of turning the tide, I’d love to see more tech companies competing to be the most accessible for repairs.

That sounds like a pleasant little dream you had. A good nap.
Honestly though I can’t even comprehend how that could ever happen. What events would have to take place? Teddy Roosevelt coming back from the dead?!
