Right to Repair One Year Later: A Mixed Bag for Consumers

A year after Right to Repair laws passed in California and Minnesota, a new report reveals a mixed bag of compliance from product manufacturers. The report graded 25 products across various categories, finding that 40% received failing grades, while only a few achieved top marks. While Apple showed improvement in the repairability of its latest iPad and M3 MacBook Pro, many manufacturers continue to withhold repair manuals and spare parts. The report urges consumers and independent repair shops to leverage state attorneys general to enforce compliance and improve access to repairs.
