"Best Buy and iFixit End Samsung Repair Programs Over Commitment Issues"

TL;DR Summary
Best Buy is shutting down its Samsung authorized service provider program, which allowed certain stores to repair Samsung phones with genuine parts. This move follows recent issues with Samsung's repair shop contracts and a failed renegotiation with iFixit. Now, Samsung repairs at Best Buy will be limited to phones bought at the store and covered by Geek Squad insurance. The change reduces repair options for Samsung owners, as UBreakiFix locations become the primary authorized service providers.
