Apple Will Soon Let You Repair Your iPhone With Used Parts

[UK Sentinel]

The tech giant Apple is lifting a key restriction on iPhone repairs, in a move that could make it cheaper for you to fix your device.

Apple told The Washington Post that the new policy will initially apply to parts for iPhone 15 models and newer, including screens, batteries, and cameras. Apple’s press release said the policy will eventually extend to used biometric sensors for Face ID and Touch ID. Apple’s existing parts “pairing” process will confirm whether or not a used part is genuine.

In the fall, Apple says calibration for both new and used genuine Apple parts will happen on device after the part is installed. If an iPhone has been repaired, a “Parts and Service History” section appears in the Settings app under General → About, and Apple says it will be expanding this section to show whether a genuine part is new or used.
