Title: Apple Expands Do-It-Yourself Repair Program to Desktop Macs With M1 Chips and Studio Display Post by: HCK on December 22, 2022, 04:05:04 pm Apple Expands Do-It-Yourself Repair Program to Desktop Macs With M1 Chips and Studio Display
Apple today expanded its self-service repair program (https://selfservicerepair.com/home) to include Mac desktops with Apple silicon, as noted by Jason Snell at Six Colors (https://sixcolors.com/link/2022/12/apples-self-repair-program-adds-mac-desktops/). Parts, tools, and repair manuals are now available for the iMac, Mac mini, and Mac Studio with the M1 series of chips, and the Studio Display, allowing customers to complete do-it-yourself repairs. (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2022/06/Mac-Studio-IO.jpg) Availability of parts for Mac desktops and the Studio Display is limited to the U.S. for now, despite the program expanding to (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/12/06/apple-self-service-repair-europe/) Belgium, France, Italy, Germany, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the UK earlier this month. Repair manuals for Mac desktops with Apple silicon (https://support.apple.com/en_US/manuals/macdesktops) and the Studio Display (https://support.apple.com/en_US/manuals/displaysandaccessories) can be found on Apple's website. Tool kits for Mac desktops and the Studio Display can be rented from Apple's self-service repair store for $49 each and must be returned after seven days. The program first launched in the U.S. in April (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/04/27/apple-self-service-repair-program-for-iphone/), providing customers with access to genuine Apple parts, tools, and manuals to complete do-it-yourself repairs of iPhone 12, iPhone 13, and third-generation iPhone SE models. The program was expanded in August to include MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/08/22/apple-expands-self-service-repair-program-to-macbook-air-and-macbook-pro/) with the M1 series of chips. Apple says the program is intended for individuals who are "experienced with the complexities of repairing electronic devices." For the "vast majority" of customers, Apple says visiting a "professional repair provider" like an Apple Store is a better choice.<div class="linkback">Tag: Self Service Repair (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/self-service-repair/)</div> This article, "Apple Expands Do-It-Yourself Repair Program to Desktop Macs With M1 Chips and Studio Display (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/12/20/apple-self-service-repair-mac-desktops/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-expands-do-it-yourself-repair-program-to-desktop-macs-with-m1-chips-and-studio-display.2374283/) in our forums Source: Apple Expands Do-It-Yourself Repair Program to Desktop Macs With M1 Chips and Studio Display (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/12/20/apple-self-service-repair-mac-desktops/) |
