Apple launched a Genuine Parts Distributor program in the U.S. and Europe to provide repair shops access to genuine Apple parts.
Repair shops can order genuine Apple parts through third-party distributors for iPhone 12 series and newer along with iPad parts available starting tomorrow.
The program has fewer limitations compared to Apple's existing Independent Repair Provider program, as no application is required, and repairs are not limited to devices with expired warranty coverage.
Apple now offers various repair programs, including the Self-Service Repair program, Independent Repair Provider program, and the new Genuine Parts Distributor program, providing genuine parts and tools to customers.
