Apple is inching towards a more open repair ecosystem, according to its recent white paper titled “Longevity, by Design” which outlines limited support for third-party components. In 2022, the iPhone 14 boasted a supposedly more repair-friendly design but display repair restrictions remained. Then came the April announcement of genuine used parts being available for iPhone 15 repairs starting later this year. Perhaps it's a response to growing right-to-repair movements or potential regulatory pressure in the US and in Europe. Whatever the reason, such concession is a step in the right direction of a more open repair landscape. Apple is offering free repairs to owners of the small percentage of iPhone 7 devices that may be displaying a "No Service" notice in the status bar even when cell service is available. It has up to 120Hz refresh rate and up to 700 nits HBM brightness.
