Apple reverses stance on iPhone repairs and will supply parts to independent shops
Apple is launching a new program that will give independent repair shops access to parts for common out-of-warranty repairs.
The new repair program allows big and small repair outfits to sign up and get access to parts for common out-of-warranty repairs, something that was previously restricted to Apple's network of authorized service providers., which typically encourages any repairs to be made by its authorized service providers and makes it difficult for users to replace aging or broken parts themselves.
To start, Apple is launching the program in the US before rolling it out to more countries. The company said it has already conducted successful trials of the program with 20 independent repair businesses in North America, Europe and Asia.
