Key Points:

Apple opposed a right-to-repair bill in Oregon, despite previously supporting a weaker one in California.
The key difference is Oregon's restriction on "parts pairing," which locks repairs to Apple or authorized shops.
Apple argues this protects security and privacy, but critics say it creates a repair monopoly and e-waste.
Apple claims their system eases repair and maintain data security, while Google doesn't have such a requirement
