Apple's iPhone repairability drops over component certification.
Great, right? Yeah, in the physical realm of simple part replacements, but on the now obligatory software side of things... not so fast.
elf Service Repair has given anyone with experience repairing electronic devices access to the same manuals, genuine Apple parts, and tools used at Apple Store locations and Apple Authorized Service ProvidersInstead of sourcing parts from everywhere they can, fixers now have to order components from Apple, or the authorization system will reject them.
It contacts Apple’s servers to “authenticate” the repair, then “pairs” the new part to your system so it works as expected. Of course, it can only authenticate if Apple knows about your repair in advance, because you gave them the exact serial number of your iPhone, and they’ve pre-matched it to a display or battery. This is only possible if you buy the screen or battery directly from Apple. Forget harvesting parts—which is a huge part of most independent repair and recycling businesses.
." Instead of giving more freedom to independent repair shops, however, the Self Service Repair program tries to remake them all into the Genius Bar at an Apple Store. It remains to be seen how long regulators and repair businesses can go on like that, but in the meantime themay also get an iFixit score of 4/10, despite Apple's efforts to placate repairability mandates.
