Apple is letting some iPhone users fix their own phones, a sharp turnaround for a company that has long guarded its software in a walled garden that only Apple-approved technicians can unlock. The company said Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2021, it will enable users of two of the newest iPhone models and later some Mac computers to get access to genuine Apple parts and tools to be able to repair them.

(Carnegie, PA) According to a release from Congressman Chris Deluzio’s office, Deluzio released a report today in Carnegie, Pennsylvania laying out his findings after more than three months of research and stakeholder engagement on the issue of smartphones in schools. The report from Deluzio includes information that is detailed about and a summary of the policies for smartphones in schools in the 17th Congressional District of Pennsylvania, commentary from students, educators and parents, the analysis and results of a public survey and findings from across the United States that are legislative. This report from Deluzio also includes a list of the present smartphone use policies that are in place in dozens of schools in Western Pennsylvania. Deluzio will be sharing this report with parents, constituents, boards of schools, officials of state education and other stakeholders at each level of government, because their feedback is important, considering that Deluzio will consider what state or federal legislation could be and what bills that are existing on the topic of using smartphones in schools he will support.
