Feeling adventurous? Get this Apple Self Service Repair kit for your damaged iPhone 13, iPhone 12

Feeling adventurous? Instead of going out on a risky hike, you can try repairing your damaged iPhone at home! Yes, you read it right – YOU can repair your iPhone at HOME! Apple had announced its Self Service Repair program last year and has finally gone ahead with it. The program begins with iPhones for now and will eventually expand to Apple Silicon powered Macs and will be available in more countries. As of now, only US customers of Apple get to avail this service for select devices.

The Self Service Repair online shop lets you repair displays, batteries, speakers, camera modules, SIM trays and Taptic engines on select iPhone models as of now. Customers can also repair a bunch of miscellaneous spare parts like bolts and screws on their iPhones. The prices of these repair kits vary depending on the device model and the kind of repair you are going to do. Additionally, there are credit benefits if you are recycle old parts.

Apple Self Service Repair kits available for iPhones

As of now, the Self Service Repair program is available for a select few iPhone models. These include the iPhone 13, iPhone 12, and the iPhone SE 2022. For example, the display repair kit for iPhone 13 will set you back by $269.95 and this will include the display, screw kit, adhesive and security screws. Similarly, the battery repair kit for the iPhone 13 costs $70.99. If this ends up being too heavy on your wallet, you can even rent the repair kit at a much lower price. Additionally, if you return old display or battery units, you can get some credit back.

Note that the Self Service Repair kit is only for those who have a working understanding of electronic devices and how to repair them. Apple says that this service is “intended for individuals who are experienced with the complexities of repairing electronic devices.” Also, the Self Service Repair kit will not void your device warranty, although any damage inflicted during the process will not be covered.

You should also know that certain repair kits will require System Configuration software to complete the repair process. In these cases, the Self Service Repair Store will reach out via phone calls or chat to complete the configuration.

Note that the service is only available in the US and may extend to the European markets later. Apple is yet to comment on the possibility of this coming to India.
