Apple Expands Do-It-Yourself Repair Program to Desktop Macs With M1 Chips and Studio DisplayApple today expanded its
self-service repair program to include Mac desktops with Apple silicon, as noted by
Jason Snell at Six Colors. 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.
Availability of parts for Mac desktops and the Studio Display is limited to the U.S. for now, despite the program
expanding to Belgium, France, Italy, Germany, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the UK earlier this month. Repair manuals for
Mac desktops with Apple silicon and the
Studio Display 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, 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 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:
