No, the right to repair apple supports is the one they can control.
You have the rights, but you need to buy the parts from them, you need to buy the specialized tools from them, with their terms en conditions.
In other words: you’d be better to let Apple repair the stuf cheaper instead of repairing it yourselves.
Ars did the math, and they said that people with the know-how will be financially better-off renting the tools and doing the repairs themselves than getting them done at Apple. It’s not a great deal, but it’s probably enough to get California regulators off their backs.
