You can't talk about right to repair with Apple products without the mentioning Louis Rossmann who has dedicated his life to shitting on Apple's horrible repair policies while simultaneously pushing through anyway and fixing them live. His work has definitely changed my views about this issue to be very anti-Apple because of how few options they actually give consumers when the majority of fixes are downright trivial. ▶ this video In one of his videos they mention how they're able to sometimes source parts and it's by workers sneaking broken boards out of the factory and if that isn't a depressing state of repairs I don't know what else could be worse. The bar is so low here, a law that just prohibited Apple from seizing genuine parts from 3rd party repair shops who salvage them from broken phones/laptops would already be an improvement.
