There are things about Apple that we like, or otherwise we would not have any of their products, but there are others that we do not like so much. In the bag of things that we do not like, although there will be people who will support it, we could put that those of Cupertino will fight against the Law of the Right of Reparation proposed by the state of Nebraska, a law that aims to make it easier for users and independent establishments to repair electronic devices in a similar way to how we can repair a car in any workshop or ourselves.
Just like read on Motherboard, Nebraska It is one of the eight states that intend to make this law a reality, among which we also find New York, Michigan, Minnesota, Kansas and Massachusets, while Illinois and Tennessee have introduced very similar laws. So far, Nebraska is the only state that has scheduled a hearing for the proposed law.
The Law of the Right of Repair will facilitate the task of repairing an iPhone
An anonymous source says that Apple will send a representative, an employee or someone from the lobby to present their arguments at a hearing that will take place on March 9 in Lincoln, Nebraska. Among these arguments, those of Cupertino will say that Allowing customers to repair their own phones can result in batteries catching fire. AT&T is with Apple in this case.
The Right to Repair law would oblige Apple and other manufacturers to sell components of your devices and independent stores and create diagnostic and service manuals to be publicly available, which reminds us a bit of what iFixit does, but in this case it would come directly from Apple.
Personally, I think the best thing for users is that this law goes ahead. I'm not saying that any "big man" has to get their hands on their iPhone, let alone expect the warranty to cover damage caused by a poor repair, but I do say that anyone with knowledge has the power to decide if they want to take the risk and If the battery is engulfed in flames as the Cupertino people say, take your responsibility. How do you see it?
