American tech giant Apple on Wednesday announced a new programme called ‘Self Service Repair’, which will allow customers, comfortable with completing their own repairs, access to Apple genuine parts and tools.

As per ANI, knowledgeable customers can complete their own repairs with access to original parts and tools.

As this is not a typical move for the tech giant, it will focus on more common repairs from frequently serviced modules, which include screen repairs, battery replacements, and camera modules for both iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 lineups.

After that, Apple will add its M1 Mac computers to the Self Repair program.

Customers will be able to place orders for these genuine parts and will receive a credit towards their purchase if the used part is returned. Apple’s “new store will offer more than 200 individual parts and tools”.

In addition to OEM parts and tools, Apple will also provide manuals for these common repair procedures.

Despite the announcement of this program, Apple still recommends that most customers should still visit a professional repair provider and that certified technicians who use genuine Apple parts are the “safest and most reliable way to get a repair”.

Self Service Repair will be available in the US in early 2022, and will eventually expand to more countries later in the year.
