Oh maybe that's why apple made the iPhone 14 (but not the 14 pro) able to be opened from the front or the back. Better to have a working solution before a law is passed than have to scramble afterwards.

Either that or they were hoping it would discourage the EU from passing a repair law like this. In such a scenario, Apple would go right back to making less-repairable phones once the storm had passed.
