    Well done Oregon! Look forward to seeing more States take similar steps for the benefit of consumers.
    Consumers are now going to have genuine parts in they iPhone swapped out for cheap Chinese knockoffs and repair shops will then sell the genuine parts on EBay.  Oregon should really be focusing on it homeless and drug problem.  Most there can’t even afford an iPhone. 
    You act as if Apple repair will be going away it won't, if you are that concerned then go to an apple store to get it repaired.  

    For the consumers who are willing to pay less for an increased risk of being defrauded, let them.  It should be their right to take that increased risk.

    It is the same thing with motor vehicles.  Should all independently own body shops go out of business because some of them might use cheap Chinese knock offs and then sell the genuine parts on eBay?

  • Does Apple's platform need to be opened up?

    Apple needs to open up its bootloader so that people can wipe it and put a different OS on it.  If you own the phone then you should be allowed to wipe iOS from it.

    This somehow has to stop.

    Countries with their fines and individuals w/their class action suits are using Apple as their personal trust account to withdraws funds.]

    This lawsuit was due to Cook purposely lying about the sale slowdown in China to investors, you can't do that.

    Yes it will be a security disaster of the EUs own making. You will get exactly the malware situation that exists on non-iOS platforms. Apparently the EU commission neither understand nor care.

    It's not just EU citizens who will lose someone will workout how to make the hooks to install stuff work on phones outside the EU and we'll have a wave of malware based on that.

    Apple should have pulled out of the EU entirely rather than cave to a law essentially written specifically to destroy Apple's business model.
    So, you are saying that the MacOS is a security disaster?

  • If you want blue iMessage bubbles that much, buy an iPhone

    Whataboutism is a logical fallacy, but is still shockingly successful as a debate technique in the court of public opinion. It's up there with trying to prove a negative.

    You do realize that a point being argued with a logical fallacy doesn't invalidate/refute a point being made, right?  The idea that a point being argued in invalid simply because it was argued fallaciously is what is known as a fallacy fallacy argument.
