Apple announced on Wednesday that its Self Service Repair program is expanding to include the iPad. This program will provide iPad owners with the necessary tools to repair their devices at home, including access to repair manuals, genuine Apple parts, Apple Diagnostics troubleshooting sessions, tools, and rental toolkits.
Starting Thursday, users with iPad Air (M2 and later), iPad Pro (M4), iPad mini (A17 Pro), and iPad (A16) models can order repair kits and components such as displays, batteries, cameras, and external charging ports.
Apple’s vice president of AppleCare, Brian Naumann, stated, “At Apple, our goal is to create the world’s greatest products that last as long as possible. With today’s announcement, we’re excited to expand our repair services to more customers, enabling them to further extend the life of their products without compromising safety, security, or privacy.”
The Self Service Repair program, launched in 2022, allows consumers to perform their own repairs at home if they feel comfortable doing so. Apple provides access to the same manuals used at Apple Store locations and Apple Authorized Service Providers.
Currently supporting 65 Apple products, including the iPhone 16e, MacBook Air, and Mac Studio, Apple revealed that Canada will soon be the 34th country to offer Self Service Repair.
Additionally, Apple shared more information about its Genuine Parts Distributor program, which allows independent mobile repair professionals to order genuine Apple service parts and components. These parts are available through authorized third-party distributors, such as MobileSentrix in the U.S., as well as MobileSentrix and Mobileparts.shop in Europe. Genuine Parts Distributor offers a variety of Apple parts for iPhone repairs, including displays, batteries, and charging ports, with iPad parts becoming available soon.
