FTC Repair Restriction Practices Unfair…U.S. information technology IT media on the 23rd! The Verge!According to The Verge,
FTC> said it would impose restrictions on repair of Apple and other smartphone manufacturers.In the meantime, Apple has only been able to receive its product AS from an official designated company for the reason that it poses a security risk to consumers.
If a consumer directly repaired a product or used a private repair shop, it unilaterally invalidated the
warranty period and gave disadvantages. Apple monopolized the repair of its products because it did not provide parts to its private repairers.Even Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has defended President Biden’s executive order and FTC decision.
He appeared on Luis Rothman’s YouTube channel, where he has argued for the right to self-repair the product, saying that
companies impose restrictions to gain power by controlling power and everything. consumers have the right to repair the product themselves.And if I hadn’t grown up in a very open technology world, Apple wouldn’t be here today, and I had to recognize the right to repair it more completely. It’s time to start doing the right thing.
