Apple devices. Specifically, the devices that this program counts on include iPhones 12 (Pro), iPhones 13 (Pro) to iPhone SE (2022). We will have to wait a while for spare parts for other older devices to arrive.
Interesting prices
Personally, I kind of expected that the prices of spare parts from Applu will be extremely high, and that most people will still prefer to use non-original parts, which are cheaper. Honestly, I was very pleasantly surprised. For example, you can get a complete battery repair kit for $71, which is about 1 crowns, and a complete display repair kit for about $700, which is about 270 crowns. I assumed that the prices of these most commonly used spare parts would be much higher, especially when it comes to displays, for which it is practically not worth using a non-original part. As for the battery, you will pay extra, but you will get access to the condition of the battery and you have a guarantee of impeccable quality, which is absolutely essential.

Apple so he created his own manuals, which are comprehensive – just to give you an idea, a manual for performing repairs on the iPhone 12 Pro has a total of about 30 pages. On the other hand, AppI'm not surprised - it's absolutely clear that someone will damage their Apple phone during repairs, and it's thanks to detailed manuals that nestno, the user could make excuses like "it wasn't in the manual".
