Overview

  • The Self Service Repair initiative offers genuine Apple parts, tools, and manuals for select iPhone, iPad, and Mac models, plus the Studio Display and the Beats Pill.
  • Apple says the do-it-yourself option is intended for individuals with the knowledge and experience to repair electronic devices.
  • The Genuine Parts Distributor program enables repair businesses without a direct Apple relationship to order official iPhone and iPad components via approved third-party resellers.
  • Eligible components under the distributor program include displays, batteries, and cameras, according to Apple.
  • Apple notes the distributor program launched earlier this year in the United States and Europe.
