Kobo Repairability Page

This interview is about Apple products and their stances on repairability, namely their rollback on device pairing.

https://appleinsider.com/articles/24...ng-is-not-evil

I share it because it reveals the thinking behind why corporations would be resistant to repairability. It comes down to customer experience, security, and control. Reading between the lines, repairability affects warranty issues, resources allocated to customer service, and culpability. At the same time, ESG pressures from banks make the environmental impact of discarded, unrepairable devices more of a key issue.

On the flip side, iFixit has an article that isn’t impressed with Apple’s rollback: https://www.ifixit.com/News/94127/ap...-go-far-enough

I share it here because iFixit is the site Kobo is partnering with.

Has anybody come across any similar interviews with Kobo on this subject?
