Steve Wozniak backs right-to-repair movement

Don't think its that clear cut.

Personally I totally agree with Woz sentiment on right to repair. Absolutely right.

However from a software POV I absolutely love the Apple ecosystem and the level of integration that comes with it. I love that I don't need to think of my phone as a computer that needs protecting or configuring extensively.

So it's hard to say. I can talk all day how I agree with Woz in principal but ultimately I really enjoy using macOS and Steve Jobs vision is basically why it's ended up how it has.

I’m focusing mainly on the hardware here.

If your sole advantage is being able to strong arm your customers into paying you for repair, then that’s shameful.

FWIW I’m guilty of typing this from my iPhone.

Yeah that’s fair. I’m biased in the way I care much more about the software experience than the hardware (within reason).

Apples approach when it comes to repairability is really poor.
