One of the arguments lobbyists use to systematically squash the Right to Repair bills active in dozens of states (none have passed) is that mobile device repair is dangerous, especially battery handling. The work that allows you to keep your mobile devices in good working order for as long as you choose. In the eyes of Google and Apple, the thousands of men and women working in repair shops every day aren't qualified to be doing the work that Apple refuses to do. The primary job of Apple authorized repair is to sell new phones, mail old phones to a centralized depot, and declare just about anything outside of screens/batteries as unrepairable. Apple does not allow its authorized repair shops to perform many repairs that most of us in the industry consider standard fare. We know that Apple authorized repair isn't really repair at all. In a climate where local cell phone repair shops everywhere are suddenly having their repair ads censored by Google, it is time to fight back. Certification helps to legitimize our industry. We need the RTR legislation to protect ourselves from threats to repair such as serialization of iPhone screens, or a potential monopoly on access to part by any single entity able to make a private agreement. It is a more difficult fight if the independent repair community has banded together as Apple Certified Technicians. It is one thing for lobbyists to systematically defeat the proposed RTR legislation when they are fighting against of perceived shade tree mechanics. Let's change the narrative for the Right to Repair Fight. The 'Apple Certified Independent Technicians' is a strong narrative for the Right to Repair movement in 2019. Google will not allow us to advertise repair services.
