The apple launch of the new iPhone 14 series, which took place a few weeks ago, continues to give the media a multitude of news about unknown specifications or some other aspect that Apple has preferred to keep to itself.
And it is that, in relation to the latter, it turns out that the iPhone 14 has a new secret design feature. Apple has redesigned the interior of the smartphone to allow users to remove and replace both the back glass of the device and its screen just by removing two screws, according to iFixit’s teardown.
This, of course, will allow anyone with minimal knowledge to make a change or employees at Apple Stores or other independent repair companies to replace the screenthe back glass and the phone battery, for example, easily.
Of course, note that, despite the fact that the rest of the models include improvements with respect to the iPhone 14, these they do not include this repair benefit.
Apple includes this novelty in the midst of a convulsive framework
Manzana launched the Self Service Repair Store in April, with parts and tools for iPhones. Little by little we are already seeing how the program is extended to other areas, including Europe and to other Mac models, which will continue throughout this year.
For example, on August 23, Apple added MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptop models powered by the M1 family of chips to its self-service repair program.
And it is that, the defenders of the cause continue to press for enact laws that give consumers access to necessary manuals, tools, and parts to repair electronic devices
Self-service repair is part of Apple’s efforts to expand access to repairsAlthough, of course, seeing how complicated it is in some cases, most of us will go to an official service to have them do the work for us.
In the last three years, Apple has doubled the number of service centers with access to original company parts, tools and training, including more than 3,500 independent repair providers.
Of course, with all this, Apple’s launch with its new iPhone 14 seems to be complying with the lawsuits filed for infringing the right to repair.
