Apple to sell genuine iPhone parts to independent repairers, with some caveats

From the article: 

"Lyndsey Jackson, chair of Electronic Frontiers Australia, said Apple’s repair program was a good initial step, but that there was a global demand for Apple and others to design with sustainability, reusability and repairability in mind.

“It’s good they’re bringing it to Australia, but it shows that they could have been doing more for a while and they haven’t been,” she said.

“It’s like a car. When you can only take your car back to the dealer that you bought it from, and you can’t take it to an independent mechanic, then you really have lost your consumer rights.”"
