“Creating greater access to Apple genuine parts gives our customers even more choice if a repair is needed. In the past three years, Apple has nearly doubled the number of service locations with access to Apple genuine parts, tools, and training, and now we’re providing an option for those who wish to complete their own repairs,” said Jeff Williams, Apple’s Chief Operating Officer.

To perform repairs customers will have to read the Repair Manual and place an order for parts and tools using the Apple Self Service Repair Online Store. Customers who return their used parts for recycling will receive credit toward their purchase. There will be over 200 individual parts and tools listed in the store which will be enough for the most common repairs for iPhone 12 and iPhone 13.

Additionally, Apple also warns users saying, "Self Service Repair is intended for individual technicians with the knowledge and experience to repair electronic devices. For the vast majority of customers, visiting a professional repair provider with certified technicians who use genuine Apple parts is the safest and most reliable way to get a repair."
