Apple to provide third party repair centres access to genuine parts

Apple has announced the expansion of its independent repair program to allow third-party businesses access to genuine parts.

In an official blog, Apple said that as part of the new independent repair program more repair businesses, large or small, will have access to the same genuine parts, tools, and other resources as Apple Authorized Service Providers.

The program is launching in the US and will gradually expand to other countries. There is no cost to join the new program and businesses need to only have an Apple-certified technician to perform the repairs.
