Apple has published a statement this November announcing that it will make manuals, tools and spare parts available to users so that they can make their own repairs. Consumers will be able to repair their phones and computers by the beginning of 2022 in the United States, and by the end of the year in the European Union.<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The <\/span>Self Service Repair programme <\/span><\/a>announced by Apple comes after years of lobbying by the US <\/span>Federal Trade Commission<\/span><\/a>, the<\/span> European Union<\/span><\/a>, and the <\/span>Right to Repair<\/span><\/a> platform. The news has been hailed as<\/span> a small victory for consumers<\/b>. Still, as the folks at <\/span>iFixit<\/span><\/a>, the electronics repair manual portal and a leading proponent of the Right to Repair, explain, the <\/span>devil is in the details<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cApple is modelling this self-repair service along the lines of its restrictive Independent Repair Provider (IRP) programme,\u201d iFixit warns. That is, only new parts can be purchased directly from Apple, at Apple\u2019s prices, and components from other devices or suppliers are not allowed to be used, thus<\/span> removing any incentive to repair these devices outside of Apple\u2019s official repair network<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

At 11Onze <\/span>you can now use your iPhone as if it were your 11Onze card and make secure, fast, and convenient payments<\/b> at any establishment with a contactless POS. <\/span>If you don\u2019t yet have your 11Onze card, <\/b>here<\/b><\/a>\u2019s how to order it.<\/b> As soon as you have it, you can start using your mobile to make payments.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
