Apple adds some iPads to the Self Service Repair program

Before 2021, the only way to repair your iPhone was to visit Apple Authorized Service Providers and Independent Repair Providers that qualified. Apple then introduced the Self Service Repair program after growing pressure from different state and country laws, like the EU's Right to Repair Directive.

The program expanded to MacBooks in 2023, and now iPads are next in line. Apple now provides access to repair manuals and spare parts like displays, batteries, cameras and charging ports. Self Service Repair support isn't available to all iPads, though. Apple lists only the iPad Air (M2 and later), iPad Pro (M4), iPad mini (A17 Pro) and iPad (A16) for now.

With the new iPads, the Self Service Repair program now covers 65 devices and 33 countries. Canada will also be added to the program sometime this summer.
