Do you feel adventurous? Instead of going on a dangerous hike, you can try to repair your damaged iPhone at home! Yes, you read that right – YOU CAN repair your iPhone at HOME! Apple announced the Self Service Repair program last year and finally went ahead. The program starts with iPhone at the moment and will eventually be extended to Macs powered by Apple Silicon and will be available in more countries. From now on, only Apple US customers can use this service for selected devices. The Self Service Repair online store lets you repair screens, batteries, speakers, camera units, SIM drives and Taptic motors on selected iPhone models from now on. Customers can also repair a range of different parts such as bolts and screws on their iPhones. The prices of these repair kits vary depending on the model of the device and the type of repair you are going to do. In addition, there are credit benefits to recycling old parts.

As of now, Self Service Repair is available for some selected iPhone models. These include the iPhone 13, iPhone 12 and iPhone SE 2022. For example, the screen repair kit for the iPhone 13 will save you $ 269.95 and that will include the screen, screw kit, glue and screws security. Likewise, the battery repair kit for the iPhone 13 costs $ 70.99. If this turns out to be too heavy for your wallet, you can even rent the repair kit at a much lower price. Additionally, if you return an old monitor or battery pack, you can get some credit back. Keep in mind that the self-service repair kit is only for those who are well acquainted with electronic devices and how to repair them. Apple says that this service “is intended for people who have experience with the complexity of repairing electronic devices.” Also, the Self Service repair kit will not void your device warranty, although any damage caused during the process will not be covered. You should also be aware that some repair kits will require System Configuration software to complete the repair process. In these cases, the Self Service Repair Store will contact you by phone or chat to complete the configuration. Please note that the service is only available in the US and may be extended to European markets later. Apple has not yet commented on the possibility of coming to India.
