Apple to sell parts for repair

Apple Inc on Wednesday said it will for the first time start selling spare parts and tools to the general public to perform their own repairs on some iPhones and Mac computers.

 

The self-service repair program comes after years of pressure from consumer groups have resulted in Apple providing greater access to repair manuals and genuine parts.

Very on brand for Apple. If you can't screw people out of repairs, make yourself look like the good guy. Well played Apple, well played.
