Apple IRP-
Independent Repair Providers (IRPs). Apple’s IRP program gives independent repair shops access to the same parts, tools, training, and resources as Apple Stores and AASPs. While we always recommend the use of genuine Apple parts, IRPs may offer genuine parts or third-party alternatives to provide customers more choice.
Apple AASP-
The Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) offer in-warranty and out-of-warranty repair service for any Apple product. AASP have access to genuine Apple parts, tools, training, service guides, diagnostics and resources to perform these repairs.
