The right-to-repair legislation will make iPhone spare parts available to customers, and Apple's support indicates its shift to supporting independent repair.
The right-to-repair legislation is a part of the Biden administration's plan to cut "junk fees" and other unnecessary costs for consumers.
To promote competition, President Biden previously issued an executive order asking the federal government to enforce current repair laws.
Apple originally opposed the law, but recently changed its stance to promote a more environment-friendly stance.
When Apple products were damaged, customers would typically visit the Apple store and often opt to purchase AppleCare+ extended warranties for more significant products.
The right-to-repair law will save customers money, prevent damaged electronic devices from going into landfills, and help small, independent businesses grow.
Before the legislation, manufacturers would not make spare parts easily available to customers through independent repair stores.
According to Apple, the federal repair law should also include features like privacy, data and device security, and transparency about the types of parts used.
