Do you need to repair any part of your iPhone? Well then this news will surely be of great help, since Apple will allow iPhones to be repaired with second-hand parts, something that will undoubtedly help many users of the brand, who every time they have to go to technical service to replace or repair a part, tremble because of the great cost it entails.
With this excellent news, now any user who, for example, needs repair iPhone camera You will no longer be so afraid of the money to be spent, since you will be able to use a camera of a compatible model, as long as that camera meets some requirements that we will see in this article, some restrictions that, as you can see, are quite logical.
Apple's harsh restrictions are over
Until recently, if an iPhone broke down and required replacing one of its expensive parts, it meant requesting a repair to Apple and abide by its demanding conditions, some of them somewhat reasonable, such as not opening the terminal if we did not want to lose the battery, but others really absurd, such as use only new and unused parts.
This fortunately has come to an end, since in the middle of the era of sustainability, where the right to repair is present in everyday life, in addition to having legal support, and taking advantage of what is still perfectly operational, so as not to overload the planet with more electronic waste, now iPhone users will be able to choose second hand parts for repair their smartphones.
Some actions that are partly encouraged by Apple itself, but that also comply with the new European policies, which recognize the user's right to repair, whenever possible, their electronics devices, as in this case the iPhone, which over time, whether due to wear, malfunction or deterioration, usually presents problems in some of its parts.
What parts are most common to repair?
Surely on more than one occasion, without several iPhones having passed through your hands, autonomy is not exactly one of its strong points, and the only solution was to opt for change battery, something that represented a large financial outlay, since not only is it already an expensive piece, but also, Apple required that for do not lose the warranty, that the new battery should be completely new and not second hand, even if it worked perfectly.
Along with the battery, another of the pieces that tend to require repair over time. reparación, whether due to malfunction or damage due to a knock or accidental fall, it is usually the screens, which you will know if you are an iPhone user, which are generally really expensive to replace, even more so if they must also be new in the iPhone models more current.
Change the iPhone screen Now fortunately it will mean a big drain on your economy, since at least you will be able to opt, like the battery, for cheaper options by being able to resort to second-hand parts, completely functional, but with slight restricciones what Apple asks for.
What requirements must these pieces meet?
To use second-hand parts in repairs of the iPhone, without losing the warranty, Apple will ask for two requirements that are generally quite understandable.
In this way, the first requirement is that the pieces used are consistent and Compatible for the iPhone. That is, it will not be possible to use a camera or battery from different models, such as using an iPhone 14 camera on an iPhone 15, something that in a way has its logic, but that Apple has already pointed out.
Furthermore, the origin of the pieces second-hand to be used in repairs, they must come from official distributors and their origin must not be in doubt; That is, you cannot use terminal parts that come from stolen iPhone, something that will undoubtedly discourage thieves who are dedicated to stealing certain iPhone models.
A great saving and a sustainable measure
With this measure, which becomes very accessible to users despite the previous requirements, it generally means a big saving for many iPhone owners, who will now be able to have one more alternative to the only one that existed until now, of using only new parts to repair the camera, battery or other elements.
In short, the possibility of repairing iPhone with used parts not only benefits owners by offering a most economical repair option, but also contributes positively to the environment by encouraging reuse and reducing the demand for new components. This measure represents a step forward towards a life cycle more sustainable for electronic devices, something that is a necessity and that undoubtedly benefits everyone.
