Apple is relaxing restrictions on repairing newer iPhones with used parts like screens and batteries.

Apple's change comes after Oregon passed a law outlawing the practice of tying parts to software, which is known as parts pairing.

Apple will now allow used Apple parts in iPhone repairs, after Oregon's repair bill forbidding parts rejection with software locks.

Apple's new repair policy aims to increase product longevity, offer more options to consumers, and reduce environmental impact.

Apple is expanding its self-repair program to allow the use of genuine used parts for repairs.

The self-repair program will cover batteries, cameras, and eventually Face ID sensors.

Apple will employ a 'parts pairing' process to detect genuine replacement components and prioritize privacy, security, and safety.

Apple plans to support iPhone repairs with used parts this fall, indicating a win for the right to repair movement.
