Recently, Apple officially launched a self-service repair service, consumers can get maintenance manuals and original Apple parts and tools through the Apple self-service repair shop. It is understood that the current self-service maintenance service is only launched in the United States, and will be expanded to other countries and regions in the future.
Official information shows that Apple's repair tools contain two boxes, one weighing 43 pounds (about 19.5 kilograms) and the other weighing 36 pounds (about 16.3 kilograms), which together weigh about 36 kilograms. In addition, both boxes have wheels that facilitate transport. It is understood that Apple's tool rental suite costs $49 (about 321 yuan) and the lease term lasts for one week.
Although Apple has allowed consumers to repair their own products, the US Public Interest Research Organization said: "This is just the beginning, and there are still many obstacles to cross in repairing mobile phones." It's clear that Apple and other manufacturers can give us back the 'right to repair'. We should ask them to do so. We should have more options, not just one set of parts, not just a few manufacturers. Because manufacturers don't actively support repairs, products are thrown into scrap piles, which is a waste of money, and toxic e-waste is also a big problem. ”
