Sounds like a classic EEE scheme. There's no way in hell apple would actually support this without ulterior motives.

I think it's to save face since they're going to have to in the EU anyway, what better way to get good PR than to pretend you've had a change of heart and make more sales in the process
That would mean they have actually given up, which I highly doubt.
Probably a mix of both EEE and PR
Uh no, hell did not freeze over.
You would have to be insanely naive to think Apple didn't change anything to make the bill practically useless against them.
This only means they found a way to make more money by having it than not.
oh so this means they'll stop soldering ram and SSD's to motherboards?
yeah... not really repairable without a reflow setup, thanks Apple.
Ok...what's the catch?
Are they supporting it so that they can gimp it?
We support the right to repair! Starting now all keycaps will be replaceable. Anything on the motherboard is off limits though or the display or the battery or the ports or the camera.
What's wrong with the bill?
Apple doesn't profit from expensive repairs anymore if it's easy to repair for everyone
Turning it into the car parts/repair scam, ..er business.
This is the best headline I have read in my life. The person that came up with it is a genius.
(It‘s news from yesterday but I wanted to comment on the headline)
