Well, this certainly wasn't on our bingo card. Apple is now urging California State Legislature to pass SB 244, a Right to Repair bill.

It's a total heel turn for Apple, which previously lobbied against Right to Repair legislation and claimed that self-repair would decrease user security. The company's new stance has received praise from iFixit, the biggest advocate of Right to Repair, and Senator Susan Talamantes Eggman, the champion of SB 244.
