Apple adds repair parts for iPhone 18 Pro and newer Macs
Apple has added repair parts for newer devices to its Self Service Repair store in the U.S., Canada and Europe.
The parts cover the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, along with the M6 Mac mini and M5 Mac Studio.
Customers can buy genuine parts and tools and use Apple's repair manuals to do the work themselves.
The program offers an alternative to taking a device to an Apple Store or an authorized repair provider.
Apple launched the program in 2022 after pressure from right-to-repair advocates, but repair groups have continued to criticize it.
Repairs can be complex and parts costly, and customers must return many replaced parts to get a credit.
Apple also offers a seven-day repair-toolkit rental for $49.
The new parts let owners attempt repairs themselves, though the program does not make this an easy or low-cost option for everyone.
Apple has added repair parts for the iPhone 18 Pro lineup and newer Mac models to its Self Service Repair store.
The parts are available in the United States, Canada and Europe, according to MacRumors.
Customers can use Apple repair manuals and tools to carry out repairs themselves.

The program still draws criticism from right-to-repair advocates, and AppleInsider says repairs may be costly and difficult for many people.
