They are just mad that they lost to "right to repair" in California so they are throwing a "fuck em we will charge them double then" tantrum.
They did not lose, sir.
Fighting for years against right to repair, seeing the sentiment stay against them and the EU forcing them to be more repairable, leading to them suddenly jump on the right to repair train isn't losing? Interesting.
They drafted this law via lobbying. They didn't lose, but we didn't win. And now the topic will get forgotten as we already have a law.
Considering they fought similar laws tooth and nail all over the world, I'd say getting them to even be repairable is a win.
Not yet.
This is just a whitewashing maneuver from apple in my opinion. And they got it through, so I don’t think this California thing a loss for apple. On the other hand, apple is indeed losing a bit at the EU site, I agree, but that was not what top commentor was talking about.

If you can not prevent a law from being written, you make sure it is written in your favor. Apple did just that.
