The MacBook Air and MacBook Pro notebooks with the M1 family of CPUs will be eligible for Self Service Repair starting tomorrow, according to an announcement from Apple. This service will include repair guides, authentic Apple parts, and tools through the Apple Self Service Repair Store. Self Service Repair for iPhone was introduced earlier this year, and the software will later this year be made available for additional Mac models and nations, starting with Europe.
More than a dozen distinct repair types, including the display, top casing with battery, and trackpad, are available for each MacBook Air and MacBook Pro model, with more to come. With access to many of the same components and equipment as Apple Store locations and Apple Authorised Service Providers, customers who are familiar with the challenges of fixing electronic devices will be able to repair these Mac notebooks.
By visiting support.apple.com/self-service-repair, a client can consult the repair manual for the product they wish to fix before beginning the Self Service Repair procedure. The required components and equipment can then be ordered from the Apple Self Service Repair Store.
To guarantee the greatest level of quality, safety, and dependability, each genuine Apple part is specifically designed and engineered for each product and through rigorous testing.
Customers can return replaced parts to Apple for recycling and refurbishment, and in many circumstances they will receive credit for their purchase.
With more than 3,500 Independent Repair Providers, Apple has nearly increased the number of service facilities with access to real Apple tools, parts, and training over the past three years. More than 100,000 active technicians are supported by a global network of more than 5,000 Apple Authorised Service Providers. Eight out of ten Apple users in the US are thus within 20 minutes of a licensed service provider.
