Apple supports SB 244.
“California’s final Right to Repair bill should balance device integrity, usability, and physical safety with the desire of consumers to be able to repair, rather than replace, a device when it needs repair,” Apple writes in the letter to Senator Eggman. “Legislation that correctly balances these concerns ensure that manufacturers are able to comply with the law while protecting consumers and their devices.
The company adds that it will continue to support the bill “so long as it continues to provide protections for customers and innovators,” including requirements that “repair providers disclose the use of non-genuine or used parts.” It also wants “assurances that the bill would not threaten consumer safety and data security” by requiring manufacturers to disable device security features for repair shops.
