The company signaled its support for a new bill in California, a positive sign for the right-to-repair movement after years of work.
"Apple's support for California's Right to Repair Act demonstrates the power of the movement that has been building for years and the ability for industries to partner with us to make good policy to benefit the people of California. I'm grateful for their engagement on this issue and for leading among their peers when it comes to supporting access to repair," Senator Eggman told CNBC.
Apple engaged with the lawmaker's team "very early on" in what Senator Eggman's chief of staff David Stammerjohan told CNBC were "very constructive" conversations. Stammerjohan declined to comment on engagement or lobbying from other manufacturers. "Apple supports California's Right to Repair Act so all Californians have even greater access to repairs while also protecting their safety, security, and privacy. We create our products to last and, if they ever need to be repaired, Apple customers have a growing range of safe, high-quality repair options," Apple said in a statement to CNBC.
The bill would require manufacturers who sell products for more than $100 — a threshold that applies to most of Apple's products — to make replacement guides, parts, and tools available for at least three years after the date that manufacture ended.
