Apple finally supports used parts for iPhone repairs
This seems like a major step forward for iPhone repairs by end-users and independent repair stores.
- Apple has just announced support for used parts in iPhone repairs.
- Customers and independent repair chains can use second-hand parts starting with upcoming iPhone models.
- Future iPhones will also support repairs with used biometric sensors.
Apple has long taken an aggressive approach to iPhone repairs, as it uses parts pairing practices to discourage repairs by independent stores. That’s changing today, as the company has just announced support for used parts in repairs.
