France 🇫🇷fined Apple $27M for deliberately slowing older iPhones and made planned obsolescence a criminal offence. Manufacturers now face prison, heavy fines, or up to 5% of revenue. 😍
They also introduced a mandatory Repairability Index (1–10) for all devices, and a Repair Fund to make fixing cheaper than replacing.
Is EU is taking notes? 👀
