Whenever a new smartphone is unveiled at launch parties very small quantities of residual parts are on hand to repair the new smartphone which is controlled by the manufacturer.
Typically it takes between 12 to 18 months for any parts to be made available to service shops to use in repairs.
In good capitalism style, The manufacturers hoard the residual parts to effect repair through their service process which can cost over $500 to repair your new iPhone 13 if it is not covered under Apple Care plans.
Apple Care Plans allow for your Apple device to be serviced at $29.99 to $55.99 for a screen replacement or a internal component replacement. If you choose not to opt for the Apple Care Plans, The "out of warranty" pricing is much higher.
