Apple’s Independent Repair Provider, which provides genuine Apple tools, parts, and service manuals to independent repairers on March 30 (local time), is available in most of the 200 countries and regions around the world where Apple products are sold. Announced that it was.
The program began in the United States in 2019. Repairs such as smartphones and PCs cannot use genuine parts other than authorized dealers, and there are variations in repair quality. From the user’s point of view, even if the price is high, it was necessary to select a regular repair company, or to an inexpensive non-regular repair company even if it was not genuine parts.
In response, through the program, Apple supplies genuine Apple parts and tools to non-regular independent repair companies, and allows them to receive repairs with the same quality as Apple’s retail stores or authorized dealers. It is a form approaching the right to repair, which is often discussed, but of course it is not provided indefinitely. It already has a store as a repair company to provide services, and conditions are attached, such as repairs made by certified technicians who have passed Apple exams.
Also, if you are recognized as an independent repair company, you can take the test online for free. If you pass the exam, you can purchase genuine parts and tools for the same price as an authorized service provider, access service manuals, and more. However, it is limited to those that are not guaranteed to be repaired. This means that repairs for Apple Care will not be received at a nearby independent repair shop.
