Would be nice if the repair shop or you would have the right to buy the original screen from Apple or from Apple sources and not have to be forced to use second hand parts or black market parts because Apple does not allow you to repair your stuff yourself or at a competent shop.
- readbeard 5y agoYes, but repair shops should also be upfront that their parts are often (albeit maybe due to no fault of their own) noticeably inferior to original parts.
- simion314 5y agoSure, like with cars you can decide what parts you want, do you want the expensive side mirror or a cheaper good enough one, you as owner decide and the mechanic or yourself replace the broken one.
- Tagbert 5y agoThere is an Apple program being rolled out to let you do your own repairs https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/11/apple-announces-self-service-repair/ https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/11/apple-announces-self-... https://9to5mac.com/2022/04/08/what-happened-to-apples-new-self-service-repair-program-is-it-still-coming/ https://9to5mac.com/2022/04/08/what-happened-to-apples-new-s...
- rasz 5y agoIts a scam. Replacement screens cost as much as fully working second hand device.
