Apple said customers and repair providers will have the option to utilize used Apple parts in repairs for select iPhone models

Apple’s Hardware engineering chief John Ternus has spoken out regarding the recent parts pairing controversy

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.

Apple will inform users about the full part and repair histories of their devices. It will also tell users whether a part is a new or used genuine Apple part.

Apples policy of pairing legitimate parts with its iPhones has come under scrutiny, but its head of hardware says its all about privacy and security, not fighting right-to-repair.
