The White House says the company will support a national right-to-repair bill.
WASHINGTON: Apple on Tuesday will announce plans to make parts, tools and documentation needed to fix its iPhones and computers available to independent repair shops and consumers nationwide, the White House said.
Apple started distributing parts and manuals to some independent repair shops in 2019. In August, Apple came out in support of right-to-repair legislation in its home state of California. National Economic Council director Lael Brainard made the announcement in remarks prepared for a White House event later Tuesday focused on the so-called “right to repair,” calling on Congress to pass legislation requiring such action across the country.
Manufacturers too often made it difficult to access spare parts, manuals, and tools necessary to fix items from smartphones to wheelchairs to farm equipment, Brainard said, forcing consumers to pay high repair costs, or discard and replace the device.
