Apple Says Right to Repair iPhones Will Turn Nebraska Into a ‘Mecca’ for Hackers
I was on the Nebraska's side until I saw this, did everyone miss this part or did the article incorrectly wrote this?> Right to repair bills in each state require manufacturers to provide software tools to bypass locks that prevent repair.No, sorry. I do agree with companies (not just Apple) with locking down the security components to ensure no one could just take your device, replace a few components and give it back without your knowledge. We live in an increasingly mobile-only world and where such mobile components are getting more complex, powerful and more information-dense.We're not talking about a dumb mower that is not storing any of your personal information, we're talking about a smart phone with complex security systems in it. Apple has the absolute right to protect it in order to protect your data, even in the ways that prevents you from repairing it yourself. With this law, there's no barrier or visible line between your ex replacing parts to monitor you and you replacing parts to repair it. Apple has a security lock for a very clear reason, to prevent your ex from doing this.If you want to repair the broken Touch ID sensor and stuff, take it to Apple or if there's no store, mail it in.If you just want to replace the battery or screen, then yes, Apple should be forced to sell these parts, just not the security related parts. Did the law clarify this distinction?
