A pretty comprehensive video by Hugh Jeffreys covering how Apple has been restricting repairability in their devices, even before 2012.

P.S. Apple’s iPhones may be exempt from California’s R2R bill, apparently they slipped an exemption in there for “waterproof portable devices” 🤦‍♂️

And then a company comes up with repairable waterproof devices, thus disproving Apple…

Galaxy S5. Waterproof and a replaceable battery. It is easily possible to do better a decade later.

They really don’t care if some company did.

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.
