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” 🤦‍♂️

    Waterproof is the loophole! I had a suspicion Apple backing the bill was too good to be true. I wonder if they’ll make all their products waterproof to utilize this loophole, or if they actually will improve for laptops and desktops.

      Can you share more information? I’m looking at the bill and by means of searching do not find mention of waterproof. Thanks!

        I was just basing on the PS from OPs post text, sorry. I’d ask them?
