As you know, Apple has been offering for a few days (in the USA only) to repair your iPhone at home via a system of high-level tools and instructions.

Cupertino thus intends to respond to the growing demand from users (but above all from the authorities) to offer a way to obtain official spare parts and the tools to install them without having to go through costly procedures in the shop. Are you looking for an iPhone repair near me?
