Apple is backing down from its assault on right-to-repair and is expanding its independent repair program. The Verge
reports that besides iPhones, independent repair shops will now also be able to fix Mac computers. The Cupertino-based electronics giant said it will provide training as well as authentic Apple parts to independent repair shops.
“When a device needs repairs, we want people to have access to a safe and reliable solution — this latest expansion joins the thousands of repair locations we’ve added over the past year,” Jeff Williams, Apple’s chief operating officer, said in a statement to Reuters. “We’re looking forward to bringing that convenient and trustworthy repair experience to our Mac users.”
