Feeling adventurous? Get this Apple Self Service Repair kit for your broken iPhone 13, iPhone 12
Apple’s Self-Service Repair Kit is now available in the United States. The program allows Apple customers to repair their iPhones from now on.
Feeling adventurous? Instead of wandering around risky, you can try to repair your broken iPhone at home! Yes, you read that right – YOU can repair your iPhone AT HOME! Apple announced the Self-Repair program last year and finally went ahead with it. The program starts with iPhones now and will eventually expand to Apple Silicon-powered Macs and will be available in more countries. Currently, only Apple’s US customers can use the service for certain devices.
The Self Service Repair online store allows you to repair the screen, battery, speakers, camera module, SIM tray, and Taptic motor on select iPhone models to date. Customers can also repair a wide range of miscellaneous spare parts like bolts and screws on their iPhones. The prices of these repair kits vary depending on the model of equipment and the type of repair you will be performing. In addition, there are credit benefits if you recycle old parts.
Apple Self Service Repair Kits Available for iPhone
From now on, the Self-Repair program is available for select iPhone models. These include iPhone 13, iPhone 12, and iPhone SE 2022. For example, a screen repair kit for iPhone 13 will set you back $269.95 and this will include the screen, set of screws, adhesives and security screw. Similarly, a battery repair kit for iPhone 13 costs $70.99. If this makes your wallet too heavy, you can even rent repair kits for much less. Also, if you return your old monitor or battery unit, you may get some credit back.
Note that the Self Service kit is intended only for those with knowledge of electronic devices and how to repair them. Apple says that the service is “for individuals who have experience with the intricacies of repairing electronic devices.” In addition, the Self-Service Repair kit will not void your device’s warranty, although any damage caused during this process will not be covered.
You should also be aware that certain repair kits will require System Configuration software to complete the repair process. In these cases, the Self-Repair Shop will contact via phone call or chat to complete the configuration.
Note that the service is only available in the US and may expand to European markets at a later date. Apple has yet to comment on the possibility of this product coming to India.
