Overview
- Apple's Self Service Repair Store, which updated Wednesday, now sells genuine parts and tool kits for seven March launches including MacBook Neo, iPhone 17e, and the Studio Display XDR.
- Customers can order batteries, displays, keyboards, speakers, trackpads, and other components, and Apple provides step-by-step repair manuals for each supported procedure.
- For MacBook Neo, Apple offers a standalone keyboard starting at $140, and the laptop uses screws rather than glue to make keyboard and battery replacements more straightforward.
- The program serves buyers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and many European countries, and users can buy or rent the required tools.
- Apple launched Self Service Repair in 2022 and in 2023 removed some software locks that tied certain parts to a specific device, and today's additions extend that gradual move toward easier DIY and independent fixes.
