Apple授權第三方維修屏幕，天地良心！

Cracking the screen on your iPhone is always a headache.

碎屏一向讓iPhone用戶頭疼不已。

Not only because cracks make it difficult to use your phone as a very expensive mirror, but also because Apple has made fixing those cracks a time-consuming nightmare that involves sitting in an Apple store for hours. Now, butter-fingered iPhone users may be able to spend hours in a Best Buy instead.

這意味著iPhone不能再用作奢華的鏡子，更可怕的是，要在蘋果零售店坐等數小時碎屏才能得到修理。現在iPhone用戶也許不需要前往蘋果零售店，在百思買集團(Best Buy，全球最大家用電器和電子產品零售集團）就能修理易脫手導致碎屏的iPhone。

Apple is finally letting other vendors fix their phones, giving authorized third-party repair stores access to their proprietary glass-fixing devices, called Horizon Machines.

蘋果公司終于允許其他修復中心接手修理iPhone的工作，并將自己的屏幕修復機“Horizon Machines”授權給許多第三方修復中心。

By the end of 2024, there will be 400 authorized third-party repair centers in 25 countries, Apple executives?said, including Best Buy. It's hard to say whether Apple has seen the error of its iPhone-fixing ways or if they are simply acting preemptively as more states sign on to so-called "right to repair" bills that are intended to help consumers fix their very expensive mirrors despite efforts by tech companies to monopolize the repair market.

蘋果高管稱：到2024年底，蘋果將對包括百思買在內的25個國家的400家第三方修復中心進行授權。蘋果究竟是因為意識到自身產品修復渠道存在問題，還是只是先發制人，通過讓眾多國家簽訂所謂的“修理權”法案，看似意在幫助消費者修理昂貴的iPhone，實則借機壟斷修理市場？一切不得而知。
