Getting your iPhone repaired by Apple or an authorized provider can be costly, and depending on where you are, a big hassle, so going with a third-party repair is often appealing. But until now there were downsides to doing this.
Apple recently went so far as to restrict the ‘Battery Health’ feature on your iPhone if it detected that a battery replacement wasn’t installed by an authorized provider. But third-party repairs should be a more viable option going forward, as Apple has launched an independent repair program which lets third-party businesses access genuine Apple parts.
