Apple Surprisingly Backs California Right To Repair Act

Apple announced on Thursday that it supports the passage of a California law requiring major device manufacturers to allow customers to repair their devices without returning them to the business.

The state government is considering a Right to Repair Act that would require manufacturers to supply customers and outside repair shops with equipment, components, and information needed to repair broken electronics.

iPhone manufacturer stated, “Apple supports California’s Right to Repair Act so all Californians have even greater access to repairs while also protecting their safety, security, and privacy”.

The Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) described Apple’s decision as an unexpected about-face, citing the company’s history as a vocal opponent such as legislation.

According to the advocacy organization, the Right-to-Repair movement, of which PIRG is a part, has resulted in laws in a number of other US states.

“It’s not just about providing parts and tools for repairs; it’s about empowering consumers to make environmentally responsible choices”, said Liz Chamberlain, founder of the repair tips website iFixit.

“Right to Repair has been building momentum in Big Tech’s backyard, it’s about time Apple opens the front door”, Chamberlain added.
