In its services and repair terms and conditions, Google says it will keep devices sent in for repair if they have a non-OEM part.

    No they can’t, that is basically illegal in every jurisdiction. Will not even click on that click bate title.

    I don’t even know why I would use anything but the genuine Google parts. They are easily available on iFixit and aren’t too pricey. Phones are expensive and I wouldn’t want to risk damaging mine to save a couple of bucks.

      Just because you wouldn’t, means people shouldn’t be able to? Like, at all? Do with the device they bought as they wish?

        I don’t think Google should be doing this (or even reserve the right), but I don’t think it’s a good idea to use iffy parts when the genuine parts are so easily available.
