Apple Extends Self Service Repair Program to Include iPad, Granting Wider Access to Repair Parts for Third-Party Providers
📣 Hot Off the Press! 📣
Starting June 5, 2025, Apple's Self Service Repair game is leveling up! The tech titan is throwing open its digital workshop doors for a slew of iPad models, including the iPad Air (M2 and later), iPad Pro (M4), iPad mini (A17 Pro), and iPad (A16). Say goodbye to device frustration and hello to DIY device repair.
Repair your iPad like a pro by tapping into Apple's wealth of resources, including repair manuals, genuine Apple parts, tools, and rental toolkits for supported devices. Now, you can tackle tasks like battery replacements, display repairs, camera fixes, and external charging port issues - all with the assurance of safety, security, and privacy that comes with using certified Apple parts.
Think of it as an upgrade to your iPad that empowers you to extend your device's lifespan. Brian Naumann, Apple's vice president of AppleCare, puts it plainly: "Today's announcement is about enabling more customers to fix their own products. No compromises, just longer-lasting devices."
Since the launch of Self Service Repair in 2022, Apple has been busy rolling it out, with support now available for 65 devices across iPhone, MacBook, and Mac Studio lines. By the end of this summer, our neighbors up north will get to join in the fun, as Canada becomes the 34th country to get a taste of Apple's DIY repair goodness.
But wait, there's more! Apple has been busy beefing up its support for independent repair professionals. Its recently launched Genuine Parts Distributor program gives these tech-savvy repair shops access to genuine Apple parts, without the requirement of a direct service relationship with Apple or needing technician certification. This opens the door for shops across the U.S. (thanks to distributors like MobileSentrix) and Europe (thanks to MobileSentrix and Mobileparts.shop) to grab these valuable components. And why should iPad users miss out on the fun? Starting June 5, iPad components will be included in the mix.
So, whether you're planning to pop the hood of your MacBook, swap out iPhone batteries, or tackle that iPad repair with confidence and authentic parts, Apple's got your back.
