- Apple announced a new self-service repair program for iPhones, allowing customers to access repair guides and parts directly from the company. The case study analyzes the company's attempts to bring change to the iPhone repair process while providing access to repair guides, manuals, and genuine parts. The study raises important questions about the larger issue of producer responsibility in the tech industry and the need for companies to design products with repairability and longevity in mind.

Through this case, students can gain an insight into the responsibilities of technology companies and the need for them to create a more sustainable and responsible technology industry. The study highlights the fact that while Apple's self-service repair program may seem like a step forward, it reveals a larger problem in the tech industry and the need for companies to take responsibility for their products.
