Apple has announced that iPad owners will now have access to Self Service Repair, providing them with repair manuals, authentic Apple components, troubleshooting sessions through Apple Diagnostics, tools, and rental toolkits. Starting tomorrow, support will be available for iPad Air (M2 and later), iPad Pro (M4), iPad mini (A17 Pro), and iPad (A16), with components such as displays, batteries, cameras, and external charging ports included. This update is part of Apple’s ongoing efforts to expand repair services, enabling customers and independent repair providers to conduct out-of-warranty repairs and introducing new information about the Genuine Parts Distributor program.
“At Apple, we strive to create exceptional products that are built to last,” said Brian Naumann, Apple’s vice president of AppleCare. “With today’s announcement, we are pleased to extend our repair services to a wider range of customers, allowing them to prolong the lifespan of their devices while maintaining safety, security, and privacy.”
In recent years, Apple has significantly enhanced its repair network by increasing the number of professional service locations that have access to genuine Apple components, tools, and training. Repair options now include Apple Store locations, Apple Authorized Service Providers, Independent Repair Providers, mail-in repair centers, Self Service Repair, and the Genuine Parts Distributor program.
