further apple could potentially go as far as taking return components apart into various items like perfectly good condition ribbon cables which they could then resell back to customers or refurbishers and in the worst case scenario when customers don't return back old parts for a credit apple will keep the extra profit since they're likely going to overcharge for the parts ahead of time kind of like auto stores who overcharge for car batteries expecting you to return the old one for a credit but going even further into the next reason why apple is going to be benefiting from this new self-service repair program the us is currently going through a widespread worker shortage ever since the pandemic broke out so there's a really good chance that it's getting increasingly more difficult and expensive for apple to hire and trade employees who can keep up with all of the repairs that need to get done these days especially if apple is expecting to regain a bunch of laptop market share within the next couple of years so with this new self-repair program apple is essentially offloading all of this repair work to the customers themselves saving apple millions of dollars in terms of having to hire and train repair technicians and allowing them to repurpose employees in areas where there are shortages so from apple's perspective they're making extra profit off of selling these genuine parts and they get to go completely hands off after that since the customer puts in their own labor hours to fix their own iphone but the beautiful thing about all of this is that it's essentially a win-win for everyone especially the folks over at apple who have a variety of very good reasons to make this self-service repair program happen with them now finally being able to get the right to repair movement off of their back as well as giving them an opportunity to show their apple brand image in an entirely new positive light so hopefully you learned something new in this video and if you disagree with anything that i've said go ahead and leave a comment below but if you enjoyed it go ahead and click the circle above to subscribe for more videos like this one and definitely check out one of those two right over there thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next video
