Apple has expanded its Self Service Repair Service programme in the US to include support for Mac desktops and the Studio Display. The Self Service Repair Service, introduced last year for a few iPhone models and now available for MacBook laptop models with M1 processors, offers consumers authentic service parts, repair manuals, and tools to enable them fix their devices themselves. The service is now accessible on Mac desktops with M1 processors.
Genuine Apple tools, parts, and manuals for the M1 Mac mini, M1 Ultra Mac Studio, and the iMac (M1, 2021) have been discovered on the company's Self Service Program website, which is situated in Cupertino, California. These products are powered by M1 CPUs. The Studio Display has also been added to the list of compatible devices in the meantime.
The US-based Apple Self Service programme has just been made available in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the UK. On December 6, Apple announced the expansion via an official press blog post.
However, the support for the recently released iMac (M1, 2021), M1 Mac mini, M1 Ultra Mac Studio, and Studio Display is presently only available in the US. This would suggest that as of right now, only US customers would be able to get authentic parts and tools.
All customers have access to the self-service repair manuals for the iMac, Mac mini (M1, 2020), and M1 Ultra Mac Studio on Apple's support website. On the official support page, this repair manual is also offered for Apple's Studio Display.
The Self Service programme from Apple offers customers a four-part rental toolkit for a weekly rental cost of $49 (approximately Rs. 3,900) that is tailored for each Apple Device and covers display, top case, battery, and trackpad repair problems.
The price point for the recently released device toolkits for the iMac (M1, 2021), M1 Mac mini, M1 Ultra Mac Studio, and Studio Display is $49 for a seven-day rental.
