While Apple shuts down repair companies

While the Fruity Cargo Cult Apple is refusing to allow people to repair the phones they paid for because it is making a fortune repairing them, inhouse Motorola has partnered with iFixit and pledged to support the right to repair movement.

Motorola has decided to make it as easy as possible for you to repair your phone. The company announced that it would begin selling replacement parts for all of its recent phones to customers, and it has partnered with iFixit to sell repair kits for phones like the Moto X, Z, G4, G5, and Droid Turbo 2.

The kits come with tools, genuine Motorola-branded replacement parts, and instructions on how to fix your device. iFixit is selling replacement batteries, screens, and digitizer assemblies.

Writing in its bog, IFixit said: "Motorola is setting an example for major manufacturers to embrace a more open attitude towards repair. For fixers like us, this partnership is representative of a broader movement in support of our Right to Repair. “

“It's proof that OEM manufacturers and independent repair can co-exist. Big business and social responsibility, and innovation and sustainability, don't need to be mutually exclusive", Ifixit wrote.
