Apple’s Self Service Repair program is expanding to include a slate of recent Macs and iPhones, bringing official parts, tools and manuals to more devices.
Apple has been running a self-service repair program that lets you fix up your devices yourself since April 2022, but it’s always been a little bit hobbled. Now, though, Apple has expanded the program to include some of the latest devices available in what could be a boost to the right-to-repair movement.
Teardowns of Apple devices have frequently highlighted how complicated it is to take them apart and access internal components. Teardown experts iFixit, for example, recently scored the 15-inch MacBook Air just 3 out of 10 for repairability. Expanding the repair program won’t change that, but it will make it possible to service more products yourself if you’re that way inclined.
Apple says that “Self Service Repair users can now initiate System Configuration by placing their devices into Diagnostics mode and following on-screen prompts. Users no longer need to contact the Self Service Repair support team to run the final step of a repair, but the team will still be available to assist as needed.”
Not for everyone Finally, Apple explains that “Self Service Repair will also be available for the True Depth camera and top speaker for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 lineups — as well as Mac desktops with M1 — in the U.S., Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the U.K.”
