In the latter state, Oregon passed a Right to Repair law, which became the highest requirement of similar standards in the United States.
Unlike other states, Oregon prohibits companies from creating any restrictions on do-it-yourself repairs.
This means that Apple cannot oblige customers to use only original parts that it sells. Users can open external or used parts, and Apple has no right to block their operation.
Currently, Apple requires that users and unauthorized service centers use only original components, which are tied to a specific device through a serial number. The company claims this helps avoid incorrect repairs using non-original parts.
The new law states that a company cannot reduce the performance of a device or include misleading provisions about parts that are not properly regulated.
Apple opposed this law. The company said this has led to consumer safety and security concerns. But from 2025, Apple will comply with the law.
