Parts pairing- does that refer to shit like how Apple used to pair their home button to the serial number of the phone so you couldn't replace it? Or how old Xboxes (idk about new ones) would pair the disc drive to the motherboard? About fucking time if so.

Yes. Yes it does.

It took them long enough.

Unfortunately, I think it excludes game consoles.

Curious how california did this as well.

Doesn't it open the door for every company to claim that their product is a game console as long as it can play snake or some shit?

As long as game consoles are just not in the list, I think there shouldn't be a loophole like that. But if they explicitly exclude consoles from being affected, there definitely is

Apple is preparing to register the iPhone 16 as an Air Frier just to push this for a year

Yup, that's it, at least from my understanding.
