How Apple Is Changing Its Repairability Stance

تفصیل

Apple's self-service repair program, launched in 2021, has quietly expanded to cover MacBooks and iPads. But as of July 2026, adoption remains low and the company still faces criticism over parts pairing and repair costs. This episode breaks down the numbers: how many repair manuals have been downloaded, what a screen replacement costs under the program vs. Apple's own service, and why some right-to-repair advocates argue the effort is more about optics than access. Lucas and Luna also discuss Apple's recent support for California's right-to-repair bill, the shift in public perception, and whether competitors like Samsung and Google are doing better. Does Apple's new openness signal a genuine cultural change or just a defensive pivot? Tune in for a grounded look at one of the most debated topics in tech. #Apple #SelfServiceRepair #RightToRepair #Repairability #iPhone #MacBook #iPad #PartsPairing #Serialization #CaliforniaRightToRepair #SamsungRepair #GooglePixelRepair #ConsumerChoice #Technology #TechPolicy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MacAndApple Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
