Apple is as right-to-repair as they can be while also trying to inhibit and disincentivize the stealing of iPhones to send them to chop shops (to extract the parts to sell wholesale to repair shops.)


Apple is to blame for that since they are the ones refusing to sell parts. That's going in circles. No, Apple is as Right to repair as they deem necessary to uphold the law and not get too much backlash from customers. If they had their way they would utterly refuse any kind of right to repair, as history has shown.


Perhaps there would be less demand for chop shops if Apple didn't try their hardest to prevent repair shops from buying their slightly customized chips new and genuine from the manufacturers.
