Apple Launches DIY Repair Kits for iPhone 16 Series

Apple has started selling replacement parts for the iPhone 16, including cameras, displays, and batteries, as part of its self-service repair program. This move follows pressure from repairability advocates and aims to extend device lifespan and reduce waste. The program, launched in 2022, allows customers to access parts, tools, and manuals for repairs, countering Apple's previous restrictions on unauthorized repairs. The company is also focusing on services and AI tools to offset revenue from less frequent device upgrades.
