Apple Launches Self Service Repair Program for iPhone
Apple says that genuine repair manuals and Apple parts and tools will be available in a new Self Service Repair Store. In the store, customers will have access to over 200 individual parts and tools. At first, the store will include tools only for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 lineups, as well as the third-generation iPhone SE. Apple says that it plans to expand the store with tools, manuals, and parts for Macs with Apple silicon chips later this year.
To conduct a repair, customers will first need to review the repair manual for their product and the specific repair on Apple’s support website. After, they’ll be able to order the required parts and tools from the Self Service Repair Store and begin the repair. All the tools and parts offered in the store undergo “Extensive testing to ensure the highest quality, safety, and reliability,” Apple says.
