Apple is becoming more open to policies that benefit consumers, such as giving stores the right to buy genuine components to repair iPhones without having to become an authorized service agent.

For years, the majority of iPhone users who want to choose how to repair screens at Apple Stores have had to wait. This obviously takes time and inconvenience. However, Apple made a surprise change when it announced it would provide genuine components and powers to large, small service stores looking to fix iPhones. That way you won't have to wait at the Apple Store or authorized resellers.

According to Popularmechanics, the statement also means that it will allow iPhone repair shops to have access to genuine parts and parts, tools, repair manuals and diagnostic services at the Apple Store.

Jeff Williams, CEO of Apple, said:

“To meet customer needs, we will make it easier for independent suppliers across the United States to access components from Apple's authorized service network. When repairs are needed, customers can be confident that they will always be cured immediately without waiting. We believe that the safest and most reliable repair process is handled by an experienced technician and the source of genuine components has been rigorously checked.”

Before making the above statement, Apple's global network of only about 5,000 authorized service providers could repair iPhones. And only with the repair here, iPhone users are recognized for warranty benefits.

Apple's move comes just a week after Apple came clean about some iPhone users being told they couldn't check battery health due to an iPhone replacement that wasn't genuine.

Apple has long resisted the repair bill because it gives outside suppliers the right to repair the company's products. This move by Apple has been criticized quite a lot for going against consumer rights. Of course, now that Apple has been more open, but the company is committed to maintaining quality control. The company will monitor stores and resolutely prevent, not supply components to unqualified stores or profit from selling components at high prices.

Apple said stores participating in the program won't charge a fee. However, they will have to pay for opportunity costs, including regulations such as the store must have an Apple-certified technician who can fix it. To get such a skilled technician, it is clear that the store will need an investment for training from scratch.

Currently, the program is only available in the United States, but in the near future Apple may roll out the program on a global scale.
