Good news iPhone owners — third-party repairs no longer void your warranty

27 February 2017

Good news, iPhone owners. Apple is no longer punishing you for having butterfingers … any more than it already does by having such a crack-able glass screen on its phone. In an about face on its longstanding policy, Apple has sent a memo around to its retail employees noting that a customer who has their device screen repaired by a third party does not void his or her warranty.

The memo, obtained by 9to5Mac, notes that while Apple employees ought to still inspect the device for red flags like fraud or tampering, they no longer have to turn customers away if they’ve previously received a fix from someone other than an authorized Apple source.

The memo reads, “For Apple products under warranty, with a third-party display: When the customer reports a functional failure (unrelated to a display repair), quote warranty service to replace that component.”
