Problèmes de réparation connus
- Parts pairing for displays, batteries, and cameras. Replacing components with non-Apple or unpaired genuine parts triggers warnings and can disable features such as True Tone, battery health metrics, or Face ID until Apple's System Configuration tool re-pairs the part.
- Self Service Repair complexity and tool rental cost. Critics including iFixit have noted that the rental tool kits are heavy and that the process is complex enough that it may discourage average consumers from attempting repairs.
- Oregon SB 1596 anti-parts-pairing opposition. Apple publicly opposed Oregon's parts-pairing ban (signed March 2024) before later softening its stance; the law restricts manufacturers from using software locks to prevent repair with used or third-party parts.

Right to parts, tools and documentation
Original equipment manufacturers of covered digital electronic equipment must make documentation, functional parts, and tools needed to diagnose, maintain, or repair the product available to consumers and independent repair providers on fair and reasonable terms.
Texas HB 2963, 89th Legislature, Regular Session (2025) — Right to Repair - 02
Minimum documentation availability period
Manufacturers must keep repair documentation available for a minimum period tied to the product's price: at least three years for products priced between $50 and $99.99, and at least seven years for products priced at $100 or more, measured from the product model's first introduction to market.
Texas HB 2963, 89th Legislature, Regular Session (2025) - 03
No requirement to disclose trade secrets or override security
The law does not require a manufacturer to divulge trade secrets, override security measures, or supply documentation for repairs that pose a credible threat to life or health, provided the manufacturer can show physical evidence of that threat.
Texas HB 2963, 89th Legislature, Regular Session (2025) - 04
Enforcement by the Texas Attorney General
The Texas Attorney General has exclusive enforcement authority. Before bringing an action, the AG must give the manufacturer written notice and a 30-day cure period; uncured violations may then be pursued as deceptive trade practices. The statute does not create a private right of action.
