Parts Pairing, What Is It? It’s Part of a Srategy to Create Planned Osolescence

♬ original sound – Misleading.com

Apple’s “Parts Pairing” practice has sparked significant controversy in the tech world. This system involves associating the serial numbers of individual components, such as screens, batteries, and cameras, with the serial number of the device itself. When a repair is performed using a component with a different serial number, the device’s software may recognize the mismatch and limit functionality. For example, users have reported issues like the brightness adjuster not working properly after replacing a screen. This approach has raised concerns about its impact on the “Right to Repair” movement, as it restricts independent repair options and forces users to rely on Apple’s authorized repair services.

Critics argue that Parts Pairing contributes to planned obsolescence, a practice where products are designed to have a limited lifespan, encouraging consumers to purchase new devices sooner than necessary. By making repairs more difficult and expensive, Apple is accused of creating barriers that push users toward buying new phones instead of fixing their existing ones. Environmental groups, such as the French organization HOP (Halte à l’Obsolescence Programmée), have filed complaints against Apple, claiming that this practice leads to unnecessary waste and undermines sustainability efforts.

Interestingly, Apple is not alone in adopting such practices; other brands have implemented similar systems to control repairs and replacements. While Apple has introduced initiatives like its Self-Service Repair program, which allows users to purchase official parts and tools, critics argue that these efforts fall short of addressing the broader issues caused by Parts Pairing. The debate continues as consumers, environmental advocates, and lawmakers push for greater transparency and accessibility in device repairs.
