Apple Will Soon Allow iPhones , to Be Repaired With Used Parts.
On April 11, Apple announced that "select"
iPhone models will be eligible for repair with used, genuine parts beginning this fall, The Verge reports. .
Currently, repairing an iPhone with a used or aftermarket piece results in notifications that Apple isn't able to verify the component.
When attempting to repair Face ID and
Touch ID sensors with used or aftermarket parts,
it "might not work at all," The Verge reports. .
But with the changes coming this fall, Apple said, "calibration for genuine Apple parts, new or used, will happen on device after the part is installed.".
This should resolve some of
the aforementioned issues.
The change will also make it so that individuals
and repair shops will no longer need the device's serial number to order "most parts from the
Self Service Repair Store," The Verge reports. .
At launch, the new policy will support
displays, batteries and cameras.
"Future" iPhone releases will support biometric sensors, Apple said. .
With this latest expansion to our repair
program, weโre excited to be adding
even more choice and convenience for
our customers, while helping to extend
the life of our products and their parts. , John Ternus, Appleโs senior vice president
of hardware engineering, via statement.
Apple did not make it clear which iPhone models
will be supported under the new policy this fall

Google Will Share Oil and Gas Methane Leaks , Viewed From Space.
Google and Environmental Defense Fund announced
their partnership on Feb. 14, Reuters reports.
In March, MethaneSAT will launch and monitor
the world's methane emissions in an attempt to
locate major sources of the greenhouse gas.
The satellite's data will be available later
in 2024 through the Google Earth Engine.
Google Cloud will help
to process the information.
Google will also create an oil and gas infrastructure map with the help of AI.
MethaneSAT's data will be overlaid on that map
to help researchers understand which types of
equipment have the most methane emissions. .
We think this information is incredibly
valuable for energy companies,
researchers and the public sector
to anticipate and mitigate methane
emissions in components that
are generally most susceptible, Yael Maguire, vice president of geo sustainability at Google, via Reuters.
MethaneSAT's launch comes as governments
crack down on methane emissions, Reuters reports.
Additionally, while attending the COP28 climate
summit, companies such as ExxonMobil and Aramco pledged to reach near-zero methane leaks by 2030.
A new EPA rule would allow large methane
leaks to be reported by the American
public if they have access to accurate
detection technology, Reuters reports.
The U.S. emits some of the largest
amounts of methane in the world
