  Malicious compliance has been Apple’s answer to stricter regulation. It only proves that more regulation is necessary.

  That is a very Apple response to laws. Like their take on USB C chargers.

  We have known this for decades. Maybe don’t buy iPads? I’m just pointing out that Apple’s prices for parts and repair were always high and even though it’s a more recent thing that you can get new parts for repairs (with the rise of right to repair), they have been in the business of all overcharging for oem parts for a long time. Back in the early aughts they used to code parts so that if you repaired something yourself with off the shelf parts (same part just not their branding) the device would reject that part on a software level and still not work.

      No they wouldn’t, they are basically consumables.
