Over the years, Apple and other tech giants have been against the Right to Repair Act, but in a surprising move, Apple is now on board with the proposed act.
Regarding the news and the surprising turn of events, the CEO of one of the world’s largest online repair communities, iFixit, Kyle Wiens, said,"
Apple's endorsement of the Right to Repair Bill in California is a watershed moment for consumer rights. It feels like the Berlin Wall of tech repair monopolies is starting to crumble, brick by brick.Apple is the only big player that has come out openly in support of the bill in this manner because, usually, these sorts of statements are made by industry groups, not a single company.
Having received unanimous approval with a 38-0 vote in the Senate back in May, California's SB 244 bill is now progressing to the California State Assembly. If it gets the nod, it will join the growing roster of right-to-repair laws already in effect in other states, such as Minnesota and Colorado. Notably, New York also passed a right-to-repair bill last year.
