Have fun repairing with everything already soldered to the motherboard.
Also, too late. I have gone Woz’ way with choice and modularity. After 30 years of using Apple products, I made the switch and assembled my own rig with a state-of the art graphics card, rather than having to rely on the 2nd rate cards used in Macs.

Well of course. People always act shocked when a billion-dollar corporation has a contingency plan.

I’m… not really sure what the news is here. The problem is not that there’s no authorised channel to get Apple stuff repaired; it’s Apple (potentially) punishing people who use UNauthorised channels.
If their secret plan to comply with right-to-repair legislation is “more authorised service providers”, that legislation must be pretty toothless.

I still have several Apple Hardware Test discs from the days when Apple actually encouraged their users to understand and fix the computers. After over 30 years of almost exclusively using Apple computers, repairability is one of the main reasons I switched to homebuilt linux machines
