Apple still service repair program is now available in the United States and now if you have an iPhone 1213 or a third-generation iPhone SC, you will be able to buy key parts like batteries, cameras, and displays from a dedicated store and get an official repair manual as you fix the device yourself. This program is expanding to other countries later this year, starting with the EU.

This debut is revealing itself alongside a new white paper detailing Apple expanding its service strategy. Apple still says that board fixes are best performed by technicians who will offer high quality, consistent results.

This initiative is a very clear response to the pressure being mounted on Apple to adopt right-to-repair policies, as, in the United States, both federal and state-level officials have either enacted or proposed right-to-repair rules. Also growing advocacy from everyday growing customers. As the landscape for the right-to-repair platform has changed, Google, Samsung, and other companies like Valve are also launching their selves repair offerings, designing their products with repair in mind.
