Apple Releases iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone Air Parts and Tools for Do-It-Yourself Repairs

Apple this week made iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max parts available to order through its self-service repair store in the United States, Canada, and some European countries, such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland, and others.

iPhone 17 Pro Colors
For all four new iPhone models, there are parts available for repairing the display, battery, cameras, enclosure, speakers, logic board, and more. Apple also lets customers rent an iPhone toolkit for seven days, with U.S. pricing set at $49.

Apple's website offers repair manuals for the devices:

Launched in 2022, Apple's self-service repair program provides customers with access to genuine parts, tools, and manuals to repair select iPhones, iPads, Macs, Studio Displays, and Beats Pill speakers. Apple says the program is "intended for individuals who are experienced with the complexities of repairing electronic devices."

Gotta be honest, it's really cool that Apple makes this available even though their hand was forced.
Like you said, their hand was forced.

They wouldn't be doing this at all if they didn't have to.

Nice to see this for the new models. However majority of the customers will never be using this and will be taking it to Apple.

Apple could greatly improve this program...
Improve it for whom? Apple absolutely does not want anyone to use this service, they would greatly prefer that units come back to them for repair. This program is a way to frighten the DIY people away, while maintaining minimal compliance with right to repair legislation. Making it a PITA to use is a feature, not a bug.

The only conceivable "improvement" Apple might consider would be to make the boxes heavier.

The $49 price is highly subsidized by Apple:



This program is more of a novelty that is made available for ‘niche’ use cases rather than a sustainable solution to repair your device

Apple could greatly improve this program - simply by allowing users to pickup (or return) that ⬆️ 97lb ‘repair kit’ to ANY Apple Store INSTEAD of requiring it to be sent back (via UPS or FedEx)
