IFixit Offering $5 Off DIY Apple Parts, as a Third of Apple Stores Halt Reopenings

Apple did the “responsible thing” halting the reopening of about a third of its U.S. stories in markets where COVID-19 cases are spiking, said iFixit. But not every repair issue “requires a trip to an Apple Store, or mailing a device to a distant Apple service center,” said the right-to-repair firm Friday. “You can replace your own iPhone battery, screen, or even a speaker or a camera -- they’re safe beginner-friendly repairs that you can do at home.” It’s offering $5 discounts on purchases exceeding $20 on all Apple parts, “Fix Kits” and toolkits “while Apple staff and customers stay safe.” Buyers need only enter the coupon code "STAYHOME" at checkout.
