Louis Rossmann Wants More People to Care About the Right to Repair
The outspoken consumer rights advocate knows the incoming Democrat-heavy Congress has a lot to get done. But he hopes one of those things is letting you fix your own iPhone.
AI Summary
The interview describes a personal experience with an aging iPhone 14 whose battery is failing and performance is slowing. Apple’s self‑repair program now lets owners rent roughly 80 pounds of equipment and must use official parts, but the cost savings are minimal compared to a standard Apple Store repair. Using third‑party components such as screens or cameras can trigger feature lockouts because the device may not recognize them. Rossmann uses this example to illustrate broader concerns about the right‑to‑repair and the limitations imposed by manufacturer policies.
