Everybody knows that 3rd party parts, whether for your car, iphone, or dishwasher, may not be manufactured to the same standards of quality than a genuine part.

I have no problem with Apple ensuring that an AASP uses only genuine parts. If I don't want to do that and pay less, I can always go to U Break I Fix

I like that Apple keeps a close eye on what AASP is putting in people's phones -- it prevents AASP from baiting-and-switching the customers by using Apple's logo but putting in inferior, cheaper 3P parts.
- tracerbulletx 5y agoYeah a lot of times they're manufactured to be better.
- omegalulw 5y agoDo you have a source for this for Apple parts? I find that hard to believe.
- tracerbulletx 5y agoI just meant for the aftermarket parts market in general since the top level comment was referring to them generally. I guess my point was just in many markets OEM parts are not the best available parts, and if that's the case for electronics it's probably because they make it hard for legit companies to legally make the parts leaving only the shady ones.
- LocalH 5y agoAt this point, Apple tries to ensure you can't even use authentic parts if you're not "authorized".
