You can now use used parts to fix your device

Historically, repairing an iPhone through Apple mandated a stringent procedure known as parts pairing, requiring users to match their device's serial number with that of a new part supplied by the company.

Apple just announced that starting this fall, owners of certain iPhone models will be able to fix their phones with used, genuine parts and still keep everything working smoothly.

Apple on Thursday announced an enhancement to repair processes that will enable customers and independent repair providers to utilise "used Apple parts in repairs" for select iPhone models.

The tech giant said the new scheme would apply to 'select' models and would begin in the autumn

Starting this fall, select iPhone models will be eligible for repair using used genuine parts, marking a departure from the previous requirement of solely using new components, according to The Verge.
