Right to repair has no cannier, more dedicated adversary than Apple, a company whose most innovative work is dreaming up new ways to sneakily sabotage electronics repair while claiming to be a caring environmental steward, a lie that covers up the mountains of e-waste that Apple dooms our descendants to wade through.

    You’re leaving a lot of details out there though aren’t you. For example repair shops are not allowed to maintain stock, so if I need a screen to repair a phone I have to put an order in for a screen, and then wait until Apple send me it. Meanwhile they can actually just pull one from backstock because they are the only ones allowed to maintain stock.
