Right to Repair has implications in warranty policies, but at its core, its about post warranty repairs (in reference to the description of Right to Repair near the end of the piece). The problem is that Apple rather aggressively works to block independent repair by not making parts, special tools, diagnostic software or technical schematics available, as used to be standard practice. Right to Repair is about making sure that people have what they need to fix their property as they see fit -- and not solely at the discretion of the manufacturer.
