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

According to regulators, Apple forbid streaming
music rivals from informing users that cheaper

Those options would allow users to
avoid a 30% fee charged when people
pay through the iOS App Store app. .
This is illegal. And it has
impacted millions of European
consumers who were not able to
make a free choice as to where,
how and at what price to buy
music streaming subscriptions, Margrethe Vestager, EU Commission's
competition commissioner, via NPR.
Margrethe Vestager, the EU's competition
commissioner, said the practice has resulted in , "millions of people who have paid two, three euros
more per month for their music streaming service
than they would otherwise have had to pay.".
NPR reports that the EU Commission
decision comes the same week as new
rules take effect aimed at preventing tech
companies from cornering digital markets.
Apple said the it would appeal
the commission's decision to
levy a fine against the company. .
The decision was reached despite
the Commission's failure to uncover
any credible evidence of consumer
harm, and ignores the realities
of a market that is thriving,
competitive, and growing fast, Apple statement, via NPR.
Apple added that the EU decision benefits Spotify,
which is based in Sweden and currently holds
a 56% share of Europe's music streaming market.

SpaceX's Third Test of Its , Starship Succeeds Ahead, of Crewed Lunar Mission.
'The Independent' reports that SpaceX's third test of its
Starship has ended successfully, with the spacecraft
falling to Earth somewhere in the Indian ocean. .
The successful test follows two
failed tests which lasted only a few
moments before ultimately exploding.
The third test saw the Starship successfully launch,
separate from its booster, arrive in space, open its
payload door and then fly halfway around the Earth.
This means that the test successfully
accomplished all of the major tests
SpaceX had laid out prior to launch.
Starship is the largest and most
powerful rocket ever built, with
a towering height of 397 feet. .
CEO Elon Musk said prior to launch that the
company had made thousands of upgrades and
fixes to improve the chances of a successful test.

The highly anticipated missions will
mark the first crewed missions to the
moon since last century's Apollo program.
