Intro to Apple Original Hardware (Part)
Apple Original Hardware (Part) ~ Most people want only Apple original parts when repairing their iPad, iPhone, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or iMac. But let’s get straight to the point ~ are Apple original replacement parts even available? Can you only get them from official retailers, official resellers, or official Apple Stores? Can third party repair shops like us get them too?
The answer is NO. Apple does not manufacture its own hardware or parts. Instead, third party manufacturers produce all components, supplying them to Apple for assembly and branding. That means no such thing as a 100% Apple made part exists.
Here are 20 well-known manufacturers that supply hardware for Apple products like iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks.

So What Then?
Apple’s official channels categorise their hardware and parts as “original” because they come from the same manufacturers that produce them. This option works great, but there are three downside. Official service providers only support repairs for up to four years after the hardware is made, expensive and long waiting time. After four years, Apple classifies the device as obsolete or vintage. At that point, the only solution they offer is buying a new device.
For third party repair shops like us, quality depends entirely on the repair place work ethic. Some places use second hand, refurbished, or low quality parts to focus on cheap and fast repairs. At YP Mac, we do things differently! We prioritise quality and user experience because that is our business motto.
Earlier, we shared a list of 20 major hardware manufacturers that supply Apple. We source parts directly from them for Mac repairs, including batteries, RAM, storage, and screens. The same manufacturers supply official Apple parts, and we ensure the same quality. As Mac users for over 17 years, we never compromise on quality!
How Can We Get Apple Original Hardware (Part)?
Most Apple hardware manufacturers operate in China and Taiwan. No laws or restrictions prevent them from reselling parts to others. At YP Mac, we work directly with trusted local resellers to import high quality parts.
To give our clients more confidence, we even offer a longer warranty than the official service providers for some repairs and hardware replacements. As Mac users ourselves, we understand what clients need. We don’t just say, “Go Google it” or ignore questions ~ we provide clear, honest answers based on real experience.
With 17 years of hands on Mac experience, we have turned our knowledge into top notch customer service. Every client deserves quality, and that’s exactly what we deliver!
