Apple begins process to end parts pairing on iPhones

This might be common knowledge, but Apple has a form of DRM on various iPhone and iPad parts so you can't, for example, take a camera from an iPhone with a busted screen and use that camera in an iPhone with a stuffed camera. It's something indie repair joints and environmentalists have complained about for years but now that the US state of Oregon has passed laws banning this practice, Apple has announced it will start taking steps to stop doing it. It's unknown how old of an iPhone they'll allow this to work on, and we don't know which parts they'll permit to be re-used, but it's better than nothing.
