The reason Apple has done an about face in support of right to repair is because they now control every component in your brand new M1. That means that if you have a 2nd like product and you remove a part from a broken unit to repair the other the part stops working in the other unit until you pair the part with the special software they control. This software is only available if you buy the Apple part. It will cost you more to repair the unit in many cases than to just spend the $600 to repair the unit through Apple service. I don’t see the benefits unless you can switch out a logic board that has water damaged and take the display for instance and use it to repair a broken screen one without needing the special pairing software. Oh by the way this is for the security of the end user because every locked phone or laptop is stolen unless you can prove you own it. Gone are the days you had full control on your property that you bought. Now you only have control if you spend more money with the manufacturer and that you pass all their requirements to repair your device. The consumer and right to repair is always several steps behind what the manufacturers are selling. By the time the repair industry gets past all the locking mechanisms many units will be landfill.
