Significant policy change.
Until now, Apple products can be repaired only for official support, stores, and regular service providers.However, in "Self Service Repair", which starts in the United States in 2022, you will be able to obtain parts and repair them!
I have used many Apple products, but I personally encountered the glass cracks many times.Of course, it can be repaired by bringing it to the store, etc., but it is troublesome to repair the device you use every day like the iPhone, and you will continue to use it as it is ... everyone may have such an experience.
In Self Service Repair, customers who can repair their devices can use Apple genuine parts and repair tools.Please note that no one recommends repair.If you return used parts after repair for recycling, you can get the credit according to the purchase price.
The target device starts with iPhone 12 / iPhone 13, and in the first stage, general parts such as displays, batteries, and cameras are provided.In the latter half of next year, other repairs will be possible, and in the future, MACs with M1 chips will be repaired.
Such a movement seems to be a response to the expansion of the "right to repair" that is exciting in the United States.Apple has long been criticized for repairing, and Apple's co -founder Wozu also supported this movement.
At this time, the price of Self Service Repair and the plan to expand to non -United States are unknown.Regardless of the start of the program, officials and regular service providers are also provided in parallel, so if you do not have a smartphone or PC repair experience, we recommend using the official support.
