Years later, and I've had a ton of problems actually finding an Independent Repair provider. As far as I can tell Apple does not actually maintain a directory, and it's left for local repair shops to market/advertise. The later, then is highly dependent on their Google ranking skills.
I went to a local repair shop for years. I went in a third time in a year to change a battery on an iPhone 8. Each time they apologized, blamed it on a bad shipment of batteries, and repaired it for free. However, on that third time, I chatted them up about the IRP. The guy got extremely hostile about the program.
Screw that place. Took me a while, but I finally did find a IRP after much googling and asking around.

- qppo 6y agoI just searched google for repair and data recovery for several of my devices with adblock disabled and it turned up several local shops. So seems to be provably untrue. I kind of lost faith in Rossman after he blamed Apple for Customs agents seizing counterfeit parts.
