As people try to stay at home as much as possible, it’s more important than ever that our home appliances and devices are working. From kitchen appliances to laptops, gaming systems and televisions, our tech helps us stay home, stay safe, and stay sane. But inevitably, things break or don’t work right. You could throw it away, but don’t want to be wasteful, and money is tight in this economy. In addition, due to supply chain disruptions and store closures, you might have difficulty finding some devices to buy, especially in the spring and summer of 2020.i Instead, you try to get your device fixed or to fix it yourself.

  • Apple Will Make Iphone Throttling Optional. Lawsuit Plaintiffs
    01 . 18 . 18 Apple Will Make iPhone Throttling Optional. Lawsuit Plaintiffs Say “Too Late” Apple now faces 45 lawsuits surrounding “Batterygate,” a day after CEO Tim Cook vowed to let iPhone users disable battery throttling. BY MARK S U LLI VAN 2 MINUTE READ Apple CEO Tim Cook said in an interview with ABC News last night that Apple will soon release a software update allowing iPhone users to turn off the now-notorious “throttling” feature. But the lawsuits just keep coming. Apple introduced a “dynamic power management” feature to help prolong the life-spans of the batteries in aging iPhones. But it didn’t tell users, many of whom noticed their phones getting slower. Finally the company admitted to it, and apologized, on December 28. Some people were angry enough to file suit. More than 40 class actions have been filed against Apple so far. (Patently Apple has been keeping track; the current number is 45, not including reported lawsuits “in-the-works in France, South Korea, Australia, Israel and Canada.”) The latest one—Christina Neumann v. Apple Inc.–was filed just yesterday in a federal court in Northern California by Oakland attorney Scott Cole. Cole’s firm has sued Apple twice before–once over overheating issues in the iPad, and again for the denial of meal and rest breaks for Genius Bar workers. “It’s too little too late,” Cole said of Apple’s decision to let users shut off dynamic power management. “Countless consumers worldwide have purchased new iPhones and iPhone batteries, or dumped their units altogether, in frustration due to Apple’s lack of transparency.” The lead attorney in another class action, Adam Levitt of DiCello Levitt & Casey, said Apple’s move today is positive but that the damage has already been done.

  • Right to Repair Survey
    CONSUMER PERCEPTIONS OF THE RIGHT TO REPAIR Aaron Perzanowski* Device makers from Apple to John Deere have adopted strategies to thwart the repair of the products they sell. In response, state legislatures across the country are considering bills that would require firms to share replacement parts, tools, software updates, and documentation with independent repair shops and consumers. Beyond those legislative proposals, the policy battle over repair extends to courts, administrative agencies, and even presidential campaigns. In part, the repair debate turns on two very different conceptions of consumer attitudes and expectations. Do consumers prefer the convenience and simplicity of replacing their devices when something goes wrong? Or do they expect and value the ability to repair the things they own? This Article presents the results of a nationwide survey of consumers of electronic devices and explores its implications for the burgeoning right to repair movement.

Beyond those legislative proposals, the battle over repair extends to courts, administrative agencies, and even presidential campaigns.

Do consumers prefer the convenience and simplicity of replacing their devices when something goes wrong? Or do they expect and value the ability to repair the things they own? If repair restrictions interfere with such expectations and prevent consumers from engaging in lawful repairs, the case for intervention is more persuasive.
