Apple has expanded its Self Service Repair programme to include the new iPhone 17 lineup, offering genuine parts, tools, and manuals for the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Starting this week, customers in the US, Canada, and various European countries can order components to repair displays, batteries, cameras, and more. Initially introduced in 2022, Apple's Self Service Repair program provides authentic repair resources for select devices, aimed at users experienced in handling electronic repairs.
Apple's Self Service Repair Store has expanded its catalogue to include components for its latest flagship smartphones. Over the past few years, the company has focused on making its products more repairable, and this update marks another step in that direction. The Self Service Repair programme is currently limited to North America and some countries in Europe. It is not available in other regions, including India.
Customers in Canada, Ireland, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland, the US, and the UK can now order genuine parts for the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air directly from Apple's online store. Apple's website additionally features repair guides for each of the handsets.
Through the programme, users can buy genuine replacement parts to address common issues such as cracked screens, worn-out batteries, or damaged enclosures. The initiative is part of Apple's broader push toward sustainability and user empowerment by making its devices easier to maintain and extend their lifespan.
