News Apple's "Repair iPhone yourself" program, is it desirable to land in Japan?

The U.S. Apple announced the "Self -Service Repair" program, but it is early to rejoice that "you can repair it cheaply!"

U.S. Apple has announced a self -service repair program that can be repaired by users, ordering genuine parts and tools of Apple products such as iPhone. Many people are pleased that "you can repair broken screens without asking a repair company!", But Apple in Japan has not announced this program and many legal restrictions. , I feel that the start of the program in Japan is hopeful. [Image] In the graphic released in the press release, an amateur who can see the special tools used for safety and reliably work, such as static electricity prevention bands, suckers, and goggles, may be a violation of the Radio Law if the iPhone is disassembled. However, in order to carry out a self -service repair program in Japan, it must be remembered that the following walls are standing. When a person who has not received permission is opened, the "technical suitable" authentication is invalidated, and if communication is performed in that state, the iPhone may be asked to violate the Radio Law. It is often used, and decomposition requires a special technique. If you do not have knowledge or skills, you may break your iPhone or cause fever or fire. It is a legal issue that it is impossible to repair it first for ordinary people. IPhones, which have wireless communication functions such as mobile communication, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, are classified as "radio". In Japan, there is a mechanism in Japan to inspect whether the radio waves emitted by the radio do not affect the surrounding devices and the human body, and the product that has passed the inspection is a "technical mark mark". It will be legally used in Japan. Users do not need to do anything because Apple has completed the application for the inspection when the iPhone has developed the iPhone. It is important to note that "If you open the cover of a wireless machine with a technical mark, the technical authentication will be invalidated." If you open the cover, you can not deny the possibility of modifying the inside without permission, and it is not clear whether it complies with the technical standards specified by the Radio Law. " If you use an iPhone in that state, you will be charged with the Radio Law violation. Therefore, if ordinary people break down the iPhone without permission, there is a possibility that the law will touch the law. However, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has a "registration repair company system", and if it is a repair company who has registered the registration repair company system, the skill authentication will continue to be effective even if the cover is opened. It is because there is this system that private companies other than Apple can repair large companies. Given these techniques and circumstances around the radio law, it is difficult for Apple to provide a self -service repair program in Japan. In the first place, the disassembly of the iPhone is very difficult, and before the legal story that will not return, it must be remembered that it is impossible to disassemble and repair the iPhone yourself. If an amateur tries to disassemble poorly, it will almost certainly break or return. First of all, the iPhone, which is packed with the latest technology in a compact body, is difficult just to disassemble. If you remove the screw, the cover will not come off, and you will not be able to access inside unless you disassemble it in a special method such as removing the display panel using a sucker. The display panel and the main board are connected with an extra -fine cable, and if you want to put in a poorly focus, it will be easily torn. In addition, the inside is packed with high density, and if the static electricity accumulated in the body is transmitted, it may break in an instant. If a battery is packed with a large -capacity electricity, it will lead to problems such as ignition and fire. Given these circumstances, I think that the possibility of self -service repair programs in Japan is extremely low. Apple himself said, "The self -service repair program is for individual technicians who have knowledge and experience to repair electronic devices, and most people ask for specialized services repaired by certified engineers using genuine Apple. Is the safest and reliable. " In the unlikely event that a program is provided with the maintenance of the law, it is better to stop working on it.
