Apple's new auto repair program has been praised by third-party repair providers

 

Apple surprised many when it announced its self-service repair program, which will eventually allow people to do DIY repairs on devices.

Several chip companies have responded to an earlier request from the United States to provide supply chain information in order to better understand the global chip shortage as the deadline expires.

The reception was overwhelming, especially for those who have long wanted Apple to respect consumer rights reparations. One of them is the famous repair company iFixit, which says it is "thrilled" with the news, writes MacRumors.

Other advocates of the right to reparation also praised the decision, urging people to pay attention. One of them is the Right to Repair Coalition, which posted it on Twitter:

 

Either way, starting from here, Apple will ship the company-approved parts, supplies, and tools to individual DIYers, starting with the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, according to an official press release.

They are not just iPhones.

The Big Tech giant from Capertino, California plans to introduce self-service repair in the Max equipped with the upcoming new M1 chip. According to the original press release, the service assistant is expected to be launched "early next year" for Mac devices.

According to iFixit, Apple's decision is "invalidating" many of the comments the company has already made against the repair movement.

As recently as two years ago, the company was actively fighting right-wing repairs, claiming that users could "get hurt" if they tried to fix their devices. , Writes MacRumors.

With this news, some people may feel good, including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who called for a right-wing repair movement and urged the company to "do the right thing."
