    Sounds like a classic EEE scheme. There’s no way in hell apple would actually support this without ulterior motives.

      I think it’s to save face since they’re going to have to in the EU anyway, what better way to get good PR than to pretend you’ve had a change of heart and make more sales in the process

    Uh no, hell did not freeze over.

    You would have to be insanely naive to think Apple didn’t change anything to make the bill practically useless against them.

    oh so this means they’ll stop soldering ram and SSD’s to motherboards?

    yeah… not really repairable without a reflow setup, thanks Apple.

    Are they supporting it so that they can gimp it?

    We support the right to repair! Starting now all keycaps will be replaceable. Anything on the motherboard is off limits though or the display or the battery or the ports or the camera.

      Apple doesn’t profit from expensive repairs anymore if it’s easy to repair for everyone

    This is the best headline I have read in my life. The person that came up with it is a genius.

    (It‘s news from yesterday but I wanted to comment on the headline)
