Top 100 Mobile Phone Repair Services

1. What's the motivation behind the right-to repair movement?

As the first computer goods came out in the 1950s customers have sought to make them last through repair or replacement of damaged parts. It's now clear that a lot of electronic products are made to not be repairable. Manufacturers make use of non-standard screws, sealers that use glue or soldering parts unnecessarily and make it difficult to change individual parts. The complexity of modern gadgets requires technicians to have specialized manuals as well as tools difficult to find or are not accessible to the general public. Some manufacturers use software to guarantee that only their own parts work. They've also been accused of updating software on their products in order to degrade performance when they age. Apple is a company that is a software developer, has said it tests "each software release to make sure it runs beautifully on all supported devices," nevertheless has been a particular area of complaint.

Apple claims that uncertified parts could result in low performance and dangerous safety issues. However, the company has given some concessions over the last few years. In the year 2019, it announced a program allowing third parties to repair the device that is no longer under warranty, and it began training over 265,000 technicians to repair devices. In November, it made public plans to supply spares to ensure that iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 owners can fix their display, battery and camera. Right-to-repair campaigners say they're waiting to learn the price of the new parts, as cost is still the most important reason for customers choose to replace their phones instead of repairing them.

3. What's in the balance?

Electronics in the trash generated the equivalent of 53.6 million tons of waste in the year 2019, and only 17% of that was recycled properly. This garbage includes heavy metals and compounds including mercury, arsenic and cadmium. These substances if not properly disposed of, could expose communities to the threat of
