Apple launched its mobile device self-repair program in the United States, which allows tech-savvy customers to repair their phones and access the same parts that the tech manufacturer uses.

This service, called Self-Service Repair, introduces a new online store that offers users more than 200 parts and tools to repair certain items of iPhone 12, iPhone 13 and iPhone SE third generation devices such as screen or camera. .

To initiate the self-repair process, customers must first review the available manual for the device to be repaired on the support page, and then visit the tool store and request the parts they need, the manufacturer said.

Each of these original Apple parts is designed for each product and passed through a testing process to ensure quality and safety, and offered to users.

It’s also the same price as those offered through Apple’s network of authorized repair providers, and for some of these repairs, customers will receive a credit when they return a replaced part for recycling.

Regarding the tools available in store, Apple has announced that customers of the brand will be able to find screwdrivers, screen and battery presses, among others, in Self-Service Repair.

It will also offer a set of tool rental packages or kits for $49 for those who don’t want to buy tools for a single repair. They’ll be able to have these kits for a week, and Apple will ship them home for free.

The tech maker has announced that it won’t be until the end of this year when it will include guides, parts, and tools in this program for repairing Apple Silicon Mac computers.

Finally, Apple reminded that most customers have no experience with electronic device repair and encouraged them to go to a professional provider for a safe result.

The company also announced that it plans to expand this program to other regions starting from Europe by the end of the year.
