Apple is changing its long-standing rules around swapping out iPhone parts, allowing used iPhone parts to work like new genuine Apple parts starting with select models this fall.
States are moving to ban parts pairing, which Apple defended as necessary for security and functionality. iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens criticizes Apple's new changes as half-promises to deflect from banning the practice.
iFixit tests on the iPhone 15 show warnings and malfunctions when swapping parts such as the front-facing camera. Apple assures genuine parts fully calibrate to the device post-change.
