Apple Expands Self-Service Repair to Latest iPhone 17 Models
Apple is making it easier for people to fix their own iPhones.
They are adding the new iPhone 17 models to a program where you can buy official Apple parts and tools.
This means if your new iPhone screen breaks or the battery wears out, you can get the official parts and follow instructions to fix it yourself.
Apple started this program a couple of years ago.
It's for people who know how to fix electronics.
Right now, you can only do this in places like the United States, Canada, and some European countries.
It's not available everywhere yet.
This helps make phones last longer and is good for the environment.
Apple's Self-Service Repair program now covers the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air.
Customers can order genuine Apple parts, tools, and access repair manuals to perform out-of-warranty repairs.
The expansion allows users to fix common issues like screens, batteries, back glass, and cameras on newer iPhone models.
The program is currently available in the US, Canada, and select European countries, with wider availability not yet announced.
Apple states the service is intended for individuals experienced with electronic device repairs.
