Apple Launches Self-Service Repair for iPad

Apple announced the addition of iPad to Self-Service Repair, providing iPad owners with access to repair manuals, genuine parts, Diagnostics troubleshooting sessions, tools, and rental toolkits. With support for iPad Air (M2 and later), iPad Pro (M4), iPad mini (A17 Pro), and iPad (A16), the launch features components including displays, batteries, cameras, and external charging ports. The announcement joins the expansion of other Apple repair services that further enable customers and independent repair providers to complete out-of-warranty repairs, including new details about the Genuine Parts Distributor program.

Launched in 2022, Self-Service Repair provides consumers who are comfortable completing their own repairs access to the same manuals, genuine parts, and tools used at Apple Store locations and Apple Authorized Service Providers. Building on the company's commitment to expanding repair access, Apple continues to grow Self-Service Repair to support even more products and regions. With the addition of the iPad, the Self-Service Repair Store now supports 65 products, including the recently released iPhone 16e, MacBook Air, and Mac Studio. This summer, Canada will become the 34th country in which Apple offers Self-Service Repair.

Announcements also include more details about Apple’s Genuine Parts Distributor program. The recently launched program broadens access to businesses that do not have a direct service relationship with Apple, fulfilling a need in the repair marketplace while providing customers with more options. Through Genuine Parts Distributor, independent mobile repair professionals can order genuine service parts and components via third-party distributors, including MobileSentrix in the US, and MobileSentrix and Mobileparts.shop in Europe. The program offers a wide range of parts for iPhone repairs, including displays, batteries, and charging ports, with iPad parts as the new segment in the offer.

Over the past several years, Apple has accelerated its repair footprint by expanding the number of professional service locations that have access to genuine Apple parts, tools, and training. Repair options include Apple Store locations, Apple Authorized Service Providers, Independent Repair Providers, mail-in repair centers, Self-Service Repair, and the Genuine Parts Distributor program.
