Self Service Repair - Apple support

Apple has finally introduced their self service repair system, and there are a few interesting takeaways.

  • The repair store is operated by a separate company and also at a very suspicious URL “selfservicerepair.com”
  • Parts are currently only available for iPhone, but there are even more than I would’ve expected like the Taptic engine
  • Apple will sell official heated fixtures and presses for some of the trickier replacements at around $200 each, but you can also rent all the tools you need for $50

I’m mostly impressed by all the tools that they’re selling! I almost want to own them all for fun.
