Apple backs California's Right to Repair Act
Apple has surprised everyone by supporting a new bill that requires manufacturers to provide consumers with repair tools and spare parts for their personal electronics. This marks a significant shift in Apple's stance on right to repair legislation, as the company has previously fought against it. The bill specifies that parts and tools must be available for a certain number of years, depending on the device's price. Apple's support for the bill may be attributed to its self-service repair program and the company's objective to reduce e-waste.
