The program, known as Self Service Repair, will let users fix broken devices using repair manuals that Apple will post on its website.
The company on Wednesday announced a new program that will make spare parts for Apple products available to purchase starting early next year. Apple plans to start with some components that tend to require replacement such as displays, batteries and camera modules. The company says it will have more than 200 parts and tools available at launch and plans for more to be added later next year.
Regulators in the United Kingdom and Europe have also either already passed or are considering legislation to force device manufacturers to provide their customers with spare parts.Want to help the climate crisis? Don't toss your old iPhone, fix itIt's not just regulators. One of the noteworthy advocates for the"right to repair" movement has been Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who said earlier this year that he was"totally supportive" of the cause.
