Apple’s Self Service Repair

Right To Repair

There has been a hot debate over customers’ ‘Right to Repair’ after the surge of the pandemic. After years of consistent resistance, Apple has launched a ‘Do-It-Yourself’ repair store on the 27th of April 2022. Now spare parts are available for iPhone 12, iPhone13, and the iPhone SE (3rd Gen).

Last year Apple announced its ‘Self Repair Program’ and decided to offer more than 200 individual parts and tools to customers. Its service is exclusively for the USA, but Apple will expand it to other countries and across multiple devices, for example, M1 chipset integrated Macs.

Don’t worry! Self-repairing is not rocket science. You can get spare parts from Apple’s Self Repair Store. If you don’t want to buy tools, you can rent tool kits for $49 for seven days. Apple lovers were unable to get genuine parts previously, but this shift will assist this issue. Original parts from Apple stores without any warning signs.

Tools & Parts

Apple stated that tech geeks with little repairing knowledge and experience can repair their iPhones after getting a repair manual from Apple’s website. The tools are available at the same price as existing authorised repair providers.

The cherry on the cake is that Apple will credit your tools if you return your replaced part for recycling. The available tools are repair trays, torque drivers, batteries, and display presses. Apple’s repair network uses these tools that are available for you now.

Apple will ship these tools free of cost to you. Are you curious about the quality of tools? For your satisfaction, the company stated that the tool kits are professionally customised and engineered to withstand the high pressure and complex repair operations, keeping safety and reliability as utmost priority.

People are raising questions about Apple’s requirements. You must submit your IMEI or serial number when you purchase a replacement. But what will happen if you want a second repair? This is a serious debate over the future of ‘Self Repair Services’. Apple may block further repairing of a single device in the future.

Self Service Repair

Apple announced its Self Service Repair Program similar to other brands like Samsung and Google, who have managed their partnership with iFixit to cater to customer needs and rights for repair. These initiatives are taken after the consistent pressures from regulators and activists to make feasible ways for customers to repair.
