In recent weeks we have you reported on the initiative, which is born in the USA. In several states, the law on the so-called "right to repair", i.e. about the right to repair purchased devices. Basically, it is about making it possible to repair electronics even outside of authorized shops and service centers. When Apple products, this is a very important matter, as authorized services are definitely not available every year. And so far, the intervention of an unauthorized service has also resulted in the loss of the warranty on the device. This initiative wants to change Apple however, he is not going to let it go and is going to fight against this proposal.

According to BuzzFeed Apple sent a representative to Nebraska (one of the states where this proposal is being discussed) to lobby against the proposal. The senator from Nebraska has already confirmed that her representative AppHe contacted her and tried to convince her of the negatives that this law could bring. First of all, he tried to intimidate the senator by saying that if a similar law were passed, the state would become a center for "evil elements", meaning various hacker groups, etc.
Apple is afraid of this law and will fight it to the end. There are several reasons for this. First of all, the company would lose control over the service network, and what's more, basically anyone could "poke" into their devices. But it's not just that Applewho is herebyoneI'm worried. Companies like Samsung, John Deere, and others don't like it either. So far, it looks like AppIt's going well, as the law shouldn't be signed this year. However, it remains to be seen how it will go.

Well, I'm not surprised that this Applu doesn't like it. After all, every producer wants to have control over repairs when the device is under warranty.
But this is about warranty repairs.
As if I'm looking for what I can, all the "Right to rep"air“ je o tom, aby si mohl majitel legalni cestou a bez obstrukci koupit originalni nahradni dily, dokumentaci a pripadne specialni nastroje a diagnosticka zarizeni. Ani slovo o zaruce.
On the other hand Apple, and the often mentioned John Deere (that's where it actually started), are of the opinion that you iPhone (or tractor) you didn't buy, it doesn't belong to you, you only bought the "right to use" (because it contains software that is subject to the DMCA) and therefore you are not entitled to any repair or modification.
In a while it will be like that we will buy iPhone but it won't be ours and we won't be entitled to almost anything. Exactly as it is now with SW.
If any suflikant wants to service the device, let him, but then he takes over the warranty for the given device. Apple would lose profits from the service but at the same time also for responsibility for the warranty.
