New Delhi, 31/3: In mid-November 2021, Apple announced a major change of service policy, wherein device owners will have the freedom to repair themselves by procuring genuine parts and components from its authorised stores. This was hailed by all fans and tech critics alike who advocated ‘right-to-repair’.
