Apple announce additional of iPhone repair locations


Apple continues to expand customer options for repairing iPhones. The company announced over 700 independent repair providers in the U.S.

Apple is expanding its Independent Repair Provider Program with additional options for customers to access repair services. The industry-leading program enables businesses of all sizes to offer repairs on iPhone using genuine Apple parts, which ensures safety and quality. Following the launch of the program in the US last fall, over 140 independent repair companies have joined with over 700 new US locations now available to customers, and businesses in Europe and Canada can now sign up.

The push for additional repair options expands beyond Apple-owned retail stores and traditional authorized repair partners. Apple has been criticized in recent years in the way it controls its parts and technical documentation which limits consumers' options. While customers may still struggle to service products themselves, the expansion of this program should provide repair options that may be more convienent and cost effective.
