The tech giant opened access to its diagnostic software in 32 European countries on Wednesday and promised that Canada will be next.

Talking point: The company also released a white paper on repairability and making its products last. The paper argues that although non-Apple parts can be shoddy and even dangerous, owners who are duly warned about the risks should be able to install them. Apple’s views on the “right to repair” (an issue with which the Canadian government is struggling) have changed markedly over the last few years. The company formerly opposed right-to-repair laws; now it publicly supports user repairs as long as users understand what they’re doing and future buyers can see what’s been done to devices.
