Michelle Yeoh is clearing up any confusion over why she handed Emma Stone's Oscar to Jennifer Lawrence just before Stone accepted the trophy for best actress at the Academy Awards. Former best actress Oscar winners Sally Field, Charlize Theron, Jessica Lange and Lawrence took a moment to introduce each of this year's nominees, with last year's winner Michelle Yeoh set to hand the trophy to the winner. When Stone's name was called, Yeoh took an extra second to hand the trophy to Jennifer Lawrence instead, but it's actually for a sentimental reason.

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, we’re 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, Apple’s 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
