Apple relaxes third-party repairs

- The biggest worry I am about using Apple products is that I miss it, because once I fall, I need to pay a very high or even outrageous price if I want to go to the official to fix it perfectly.

And if you go to a third party for repair in order to save money, there will be pop-ups and disabled functions for various non-genuine accessories.

Apple said in a recently released white paper document that Apple will relax restrictions on third-party repairs, allowing users to repair devices and replace parts on their own, and these adjustments will be officially implemented later this year.

And Apple's relaxation of maintenance regulations is not because Apple is kind, but because it is forced by new regulations in various regions.

Users who have repaired Apple products such as iPhones should know that Apple will maliciously restrict users from replacing accessories on their own.

For example, the screen, battery, speakers, etc., even if you use the original disassembly accessories of another iPhone, the non-certified product will still be displayed, and some functions will be disabled, such as the screen will be disabled True Tone, and the battery will not be able to show the health.

Because Apple wants you to go to the official to pay a high price for repair and replacement, after replacing the accessories, Apple will use a specific machine to upload and check the serial number of the accessories, so as to cancel the non-certification pop-up.

And Apple's solution in the future also achieves the best of both worlds.

Apple said that in the future, even if a user replaces an accessory that is not certified by Apple, although a warning prompt will appear, users can choose to forcibly turn on this function and stop Apple's warning.

This not only avoids the user from buying a mobile phone that has been replaced with a third-party accessory, but also solves the problem of disabling the function caused by the user's replacement of a third-party accessory in order to save money.

Apple certainly wouldn't have thought of such a perfect method now, and the reason why it is doing it now is very simple, and I believe everyone knows it.

In fact, it's not that we want to go to a third party for repair, but the main thing is that Apple's official repair price is too outrageous.

Take the iPhone15 PM as an example, it costs 809 yuan to change the battery once, 1949 yuan to repair the camera, and 4099 yuan to repair the screen and rear glass.

With this kind of repair price, don't blame everyone for going to a third party for maintenance.
