Anyone who is using the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, or iPhone SE 3 (2022) will be able to repair some of the aspects of the device on their own. In a Newsroom post, Apple has announced that it has finally launched the Self Service Repair Store. Right now, the store includes spare parts for iPhone 12, iPhone 13, and iPhone SE 3. You get parts such as batteries, bottom speakers, a Taptic Engine, display, and more. However, the more interesting bit here is that certain requirements will require you to contact Apple through chat or the phone for System Configuration once you are done repairing the phone.
Apple Will Finally Let Users Repair Their Phones
Here’s an excerpt from the Newsroom post. Apple is planning on expanding the Self Service Repair program to Europe later this year. It will additionally include support for Macs powered by the M1 chip family. The company has also highlighted that it is selling genuine Apple parts for the same price offered to authorized repair centers. Additionally, users can get some of their money back if they manage to return the eligible replaced parts for recycling. This is a bold move by Apple and it has now joined Samsung and Google which are doing something similar in collaboration with iFixit. But would you go to an authorized repair center and pay more or do it yourself? Let us know in the comments below.
