CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA<\/strong> Apple today announced Self Service Repair is now available, providing repair manuals and genuine Apple parts and tools through the Apple Self Service Repair Store<\/a>. Self Service Repair is available in the US and will expand to additional countries \u2014 beginning in Europe \u2014 later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new online store offers more than 200 individual parts and tools, enabling customers who are experienced with the complexities of repairing electronic devices to complete repairs on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 lineups and iPhone SE (3rd generation), such as the display, battery, and camera. Later this year the program will also include manuals, parts, and tools to perform repairs on Mac computers with Apple silicon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

To start the Self Service Repair process, a customer will first review the repair manual for the product they want to repair by visiting support.apple.com\/self-service-repair<\/a>. Then, they can visit the Apple Self Service Repair Store and order the necessary parts and tools.Every genuine Apple part is designed and engineered for each product, and goes through extensive testing to ensure the highest quality, safety, and reliability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parts are the same ones \u2014 at the same price \u2014 as those available to Apple\u2019s network of authorized repair providers. For certain repairs, customers will receive a credit when returning a replaced part for recycling. The Apple tools available to customers on the Self Service Repair Store are the same as used by Apple\u2019s repair network. They are custom designed to help provide the best repairs for Apple products, and are engineered to withstand the rigors of high-volume, professional repair operations where safety and reliability are the utmost priority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The high-quality tools offered through Self Service Repair include torque drivers, repair trays, display and battery presses, and more.Apple will offer tool rental kits for $49, so that customers who do not want to purchase tools for a single repair still have access to these professional repair tools. The weeklong rental kits will ship to customers for free. Self Service Repair is part of Apple\u2019s efforts to further expand access to repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the vast majority of customers who do not have experience repairing electronic devices, visiting a professional repair provider with certified technicians who use genuine Apple parts is the safest and most reliable way to get a repair. Over the past three years, Apple has nearly doubled the number of service locations with access to genuine Apple parts, tools, and training, including more than 3,000 Independent Repair Providers. A global network of more than 5,000 Apple Authorized Service Providers supports more than 100,000 active technicians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, in the US, eight out of 10 Apple customers are located within 20 minutes of an authorized service provider. Also today, Apple published a paper, \u201cExpanding Access to Safe, Reliable, and Secure Service and Repair,<\/a>\u201d which details Apple\u2019s approach to designing long-lasting products and increasing access to repairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
