Best Buy is one retailer chosen by Apple to receive said machines as the Cupertino-based tech giant frees up the design it once held so tightly. The decision by Apple comes at a time when eight U.S. states have launched “right to repair” bills to gain access to the tightly-controlled repair networks built by smartphone companies.
