Pluralistic: Apple fucked us on right to repair (again) (pluralistic.net)

Right to repair has no cannier, more dedicated adversary than Apple, a company whose most innovative work is dreaming up new ways to sneakily sabotage electronics repair while claiming to be a caring environmental steward, a lie that covers up the mountains of e-waste that Apple dooms our descendants to wade through.

Maybe updated because it currently cites this article about a shareholder letter. https://www.inverse.com/article/52189-tim-cook-says-apple-faces-2-key-problems-in-surprising-shareholder-letter

Its implication right after this about them using the repair shop to boost sales however is unsupported speculation. A reasonable guess based on what we see from people like Rossman but still unsupported by this piece.
