"[[Google]] becomes the latest major manufacturer to soften its stance on [[right to repair]], announcing it will sell [[spare parts]] on [[iFixit]]."

> Google’s parts program is slightly more expansive than that of other manufacturers: Notably, it will sell original replacement [[batteries]], which can have the effect of significantly extending the life of a smartphone. It will also sell cameras, replacement displays, “and more,” the blog post says.

> What about extending the security updates for the same phones?
