Can't happen soon enough. Personally, I'd wish this would go much further and would allow every device to be flashable, with only a few exceptions for safety, like cars.
There's also a certain irony that certain other places will go to bat for right to repair, and then turn around and say "Actually, I want to live in a walled garden.", not realizing that these are two sides of the same coin.
Good for people who decide to adopt Android or an open source OS after having an iPhone for a while. Would help get some more traction for alternatives too like Ubuntu Touch.
But if someone already owns an iPhone he should not need to buy another hardware option.
Not that he needs to justify what he does with his property to the manufacturer or randos on the internet.
I don't know why you're arguing against hardware and software freedom, but it might indicate that lemmy is not for you.
