genuine parts so you can repair your iPhone or Mac yourself

Apple announced in 2021 that it would launch an in-home repair program during that year: the direct sale of official parts for some of its devices, so that anyone can replace a cracked screen, a battery that is not more what it was, a non-working haptic motor or a speaker, among other components.

And what’s more important: without these home repairs voiding the warranty of the device. A historic decision which became clearer at the beginning of the year… and which now it has just been extended to several European countries, including Europe, from where you can already request any of the available parts, as well as from Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Poland, the United Kingdom and Sweden.

Parts for sale and tools for rent

Not all product families or models have their components available. Here is the list of devices that appear on the official website.

The summary is: all iPhones from late 2020 to here (except newer ones), and all laptops with Apple Silicon except those with the M2 chip. For iPhones, Apple offers parts to replace the battery, bottom speaker, camera, screen, SIM tray, or haptic motor.

For Macs, after checking the serial number, he offers us an audio card, a battery cable, a bottom case, a screen, hinge covers, fans, keys, a position sensor, a motherboard, a MagSafe 3 connector, a top cover with battery, a Touch ID plate, trackpad and its cable, the USB-C plates and the antenna and ventilation module.

These parts are the same as those used in Apple Stores and Company-Authorized Apple Resellers. The tools offered by the company are also identical: some kits that can be rented for 59.95 dollars to those who do not want to buy them, Something designed for those who are going to make a specific use of it.

Apple addressed the statement in the statement to “customers who have experience in electronic repairs”. That is: it is assumed that whoever is going to get their hands on these coins is someone with some skill and prior knowledge. For all others: authorized technical services.
