"Apple Embraces Used Parts for iPhone Repairs, Expanding Repair Options"

Apple will allow owners of select iPhone models to repair their devices with used, genuine parts while retaining full functionality, eliminating pesky notifications for aftermarket or used components and making the repair process more convenient. The change will initially apply to displays, batteries, and cameras, with future support for biometric sensors like Face ID and Touch ID. Apple will also extend its Activation Lock feature to iPhone parts to prevent the use of stolen components, and the device will store repair information in the Settings app. This move is a significant step for repair shops and DIYers, providing more choice and convenience for customers while helping to extend the life of Apple products and their parts.

Driving demand is the struggle aerospace suppliers face to fill new orders as air traffic soars and the supply chain for aircraft parts recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, when labor shortages and lockdowns slowed production.
