They probably just mean they've worked out a loophole in the law which they're going to exploit the heck out of. I doubt they've changed their attitude on this overnight.

I bet it will not be Component level, but replacement parts, 3rd price of a new device.

You forgot that they also mean that they won't build 2 different versions of the devices. (It is not worth it)
