Cracking the screen on your iPhone is always a headache.
碎屏一向让iPhone用户头疼不已。
Not only because cracks make it difficult to use your phone as a very
expensive mirror, but also because Apple has made fixing those cracks a
time-consuming nightmare that involves sitting in an Apple store for hours. Now,
butter-fingered iPhone users may be able to spend hours in a Best Buy
instead.
这意味着iPhone不能再用作奢华的镜子，更可怕的是，要在苹果零售店坐等数小时碎屏才能得到修理。现在iPhone用户也许不需要前往苹果零售店，在百思买集团(Best
Buy，全球最大家用电器和电子产品零售集团)就能修理易脱手导致碎屏的iPhone。
Apple is finally letting other vendors fix their phones, giving authorized
third-party repair stores access to their proprietary glass-fixing devices,
called Horizon Machines.
苹果公司终于允许其他修复中心接手修理iPhone的工作，并将自己的屏幕修复机“Horizon Machines”授权给许多第三方修复中心。
By the end of 2017, there will be 400 authorized third-party repair centers
in 25 countries, Apple executives said, including Best Buy. It's hard to say
whether Apple has seen the error of its iPhone-fixing ways or if they are simply
acting preemptively as more states sign on to so-called "right to repair" bills
that are intended to help consumers fix their very expensive mirrors despite
efforts by tech companies to monopolize the repair market.
苹果高管称：到2017年底，苹果将对包括百思买在内的25个国家的400家第三方修复中心进行授权。苹果究竟是因为意识到自身产品修复渠道存在问题，还是只是先发制人，通过让众多国家签订所谓的“修理权”法案，看似意在帮助消费者修理昂贵的iPhone，实则借机垄断修理市场?一切不得而知。 |
