Apple expands self-repair program to include iPhone 17 lineup Apple has officially added its latest iPhones — the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max — to its self-service repair program. That means users in the U.S., Canada, and several European countries can now buy genuine Apple parts directly from the company’s repair store and fix their own devices if needed. The move brings Apple’s newest phones into a program that’s been growing steadily since it launched in 2022.

Genuine parts and tools now available for major repairs From cracked screens and weak batteries to damaged speakers and cameras, users can now order almost every key component for the iPhone 17 lineup. Apple’s store lists official parts for displays, batteries, cameras, logic boards, and more. The goal is to give users more flexibility — and to ensure that anyone choosing to repair their iPhone can do it safely, using authentic components.

Easy access to repair manuals and tool rentals Apple has also uploaded detailed repair manuals for each new iPhone model, so users can follow step-by-step instructions. For those who don’t own professional tools, Apple offers a toolkit rental option for seven days at $49 in the U.S. This makes the process more accessible for people who just need to do a one-time repair without buying expensive equipment.

Available across multiple countries, not just the U.S. While Apple started the program in the U.S., it’s now reaching more users globally. Customers in the U.K., France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, and Switzerland can also order iPhone 17 parts directly from Apple. This expansion signals Apple’s commitment to supporting the “Right to Repair” movement, which encourages companies to make device repair easier and more transparent.
Designed for experienced users but a win for everyone Apple describes the self-repair program as intended for people who are comfortable handling electronics, but its impact goes beyond DIY users. The availability of genuine parts and manuals also helps local repair shops and technicians maintain quality standards. For everyday iPhone owners, it means more repair choices, potentially lower costs, and fewer trips to the service center all while keeping devices running longer.
