Apple expands Self Service Repair program to iPads

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) launched Self Service Repair for iPads, providing the device owners with access to repair manuals, genuine Apple parts, Apple Diagnostics troubleshooting sessions, tools, and rental toolkits.

Starting May 29, support for iPad Air (M2 chip and later), iPad Pro (M4), iPad mini (A17 Pro), and iPad (A16), the launch features components including displays, batteries, cameras, and external charging ports.

Apple said the announcement joins the expansion of other Apple repair services that enable customers and independent repair providers to complete out-of-warranty repairs, including new details about the Genuine Parts Distributor program.

The company had launched the program in 2022 and with the addition of iPad, the Self Service Repair Store now supports 65 Apple products, including the iPhone 16e, MacBook Air, and Mac Studio.

Apple noted that this summer, Canada will become the 34th country in which Apple offers Self Service Repair.

In addition, the tech giant announced more details about its Genuine Parts Distributor program. The program broadens access to businesses that do not have a direct service relationship with Apple. Independent mobile repair professionals can order genuine Apple service parts and components via third-party distributors, the company noted.
