At the end of 2021, the Cupertino company announced that it was going to give all users the opportunity to be the ones in charge of repairing their devices if necessary, since it was going to provide the necessary manuals, tools and parts. for it. Well, it was yesterday that Apple finally launched this self-service repair program, currently only for the iPhone.
What is there to do?
Surely many users are wondering what exactly this repair program consists of. Well, it simply gives everyone the chance to repair their iPhone at home or wherever they want . The Cupertino company makes available to all users the manuals that they will have to use to carry out these repairs, once they know what they have to do, as well as the tools and parts they need to be able to carry it out, they just have to buy them at the Apple store and get to work.
In addition, if you think that it is not worth buying the necessary tools to carry out the repair, Apple also makes it easy for all users to rent a kit with everything you need for $49 . Of course, something you have to know is that, for now, only all iPhone 12, iPhone 13 and third-generation iPhone SE models can be repaired in this way. In this sense, the Cupertino company has expressed its wish that by the end of the year all Macs with Apple’s own chip will also be added to this repair program.
Unfortunately, not all is good news about this movement, since at the moment only users who live in the United States will be able to use this self-service repair program. However, Apple has also spoken about it, claiming that by the end of the year it will also be available in Europe , yes, we will have to see in which countries.
Finally, something that you have to always keep in mind and on which Apple has also spoken, is that all the parts and tools that you acquire in this repair program have extensive tests behind them to always guarantee the highest quality, safety and reliability . In this way, what Apple intends is to end, or at least reduce, the number of users who use external and unauthorized Apple services to repair their devices, since this repair program will make it easier to repair the iPhone. cheaper than if it were done by a company specialist. However, and it is something that Cupertino also warns, the vast majority of users will need to go to a specialist to repair their devices, since in order to carry them out with the security and reliability that the iPhone, in this case, remains in perfect conditions you have to have some skills and even some previous knowledge that not everyone has.
