"We wouldn't have had an Apple had I not grown up in a very open technology world," Mr Wozniak, its co-founder with Steve Jobs in the 1970s, said. "It's time to recognise the right to repair more fully."
Existing right-to-repair rules in Europe and the US are limited to appliances and vehicles, respectively. And right-to-repair advocates say Apple is one of the fiercest opponents to expanding the legislation to cover consumer electronics.
The ice cream machine maker, Taylor, now has to turn over all its ill-gotten Kytch Solution Devices within 24 hours of the court order. “Defendants must not use, copy, disclose, or otherwise make available in any way information, including formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, or process obtained by any of them,” the court document said.
“We are optimistic that the truth will prevail,” Kytch co-founder Melissa Nelson told Motherboard. “It’s disgusting that such lengths were taken to steal our trade secrets, destroy our business, and to stand in the way of modernizing kitchens. Kytch is just a small piece of the broader right-to-repair movement. But our case makes clear that it’s past time to end shady business practices that create hundreds of millions of dollars of unnecessary repair fees from ‘certified’ technicians.”
Was just talking with the wife about her iPhone 7. Battery is old and not holding much charge lately. She charges it almost every day and every evening it's almost dead OR it's gone dead. And I've gone through all her aps and shut all the unnecessary stuff off, like the mail refresh and other things that self refresh, using battery and bandwidth. May be time to trade in her 7 for a 13. She says I can have the 13 and she'll take my 12. If not for purchasing a drone last year that had camera hookup and a program that lets me view the camera feed, needing an 11 or higher, I'd still be flying my 7 and she'd still be with her Samsung.Hello,

Most of the consumer e-waste is obsolete, not broken. Aerospace, Semiconductor manufacturers, Defense sector, etc ... repair boards because the replacement cost is much higher than the high repair costs on gear that might be old but not obsolete.A very interesting article, relevant to the discussion in this thread.
