That changed in 2022 when it announced its Self Service Repair program, enabling iPhone users to carry out repairs on their devices using Apple-supplied parts and repair kits. The program seems to have now been expanded to include genuine used parts.Also Read: Apple sends threat notification to iPhone users in India Apple extends support for used genuine partsThe iPhone maker says this initiative will enab...
