Apple Is Making It Slightly Easier to Repair Your iPhone

Apple has announced that it will be providing more access to repair parts and tools for independent repair shops starting in 2021. This move comes after years of criticism from consumers and activists who have been pushing for the right to repair their own devices.

While this is a step in the right direction, Apple is still limiting the types of repairs that can be done outside of Apple’s official repair centers. For example, the new program will not include access to certain advanced components, such as the Face ID system on newer models of the iPhone.

Despite these limitations, many see this as a positive development that will make it easier for consumers to have their devices repaired by trusted third-party shops, potentially saving time and money compared to going through Apple directly.

It remains to be seen how this new program will be implemented and what impact it will have on the repair industry as a whole. But for now, it looks like Apple is taking steps in the right direction to give consumers more control over their devices.
