No

While it’s better than the nothing that was available before this repair program is extremely lacking and nothing to get excited about. I just look for the iPhones they only offer like 5 parts and they are all over priced. They also don’t sell the tools, only rent them out. Which is weird. And the 5 parts are even for common repairs.(other than the battery, but they don’t sell just a battery. If you want a genuine apple battery and are willing to over pay for it than you have to buy their “battery bundle”.

The parts are also still software locked as well. so if you replace your camera for example your face id won’t work until you contact CS and have them “pair” the new camera to your board.

They also don’t offer any parts on wholesale so it doesn’t help 3rd party repair at all, even if a shop could buy these overpriced parts and pull a profit they can buy, say 5 camera modules, they can only buy 1.

They also don’t have to continue it, especially not in the US where there are 0 consumer protection laws when it comes to repairability or program sustainability.

This isn’t a win, if anything it’s a step backwards because now apple can say “look we don’t need regulation we are already selling parts”

You can use water on mechanical parts just not computerized parts. alcohol may not get all the lube off depending on what it’s made of.

Soapy water almost definitely will though

A little soapy water will take it off, just make sure it’s completely dry before using/reapplying the lube
