There are similar laws for electronics, at least in EU, you need to have a good reason to void my warranty, if I say upgraded the 512Gb SSD with a bigger one and then the keyboard broke you just need to put an effort and invent some plausible reason before you void my warranty.

Though let's be honest, most people that end up in third party repair shops are there because the warranty expired already and for example Apple charged them almost the full price of the device to have it fixed.

“Apple charged them almost the full price of the device to have it fixed.”

What kind of repair are you talking about?
