Apple announced Wednesday its new Self Service Repair program that will let customers complete repairs on their own iPhones and Mac computers.
Starting early next year, the tech giant will ship 'Apple genuine' parts and tools, the same used at the Genius Bar, to people's homes to fix their broken devices.
The program is set to start with the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, Macs to follow later, and allow owners to replace their screen, battery or camera.
The move comes as Apple is facing increased pressure and even regulation regarding its product repair policies, as the tech giant has only allowed its accredited dealers to fix its devices.
However, Apple's Self Service Repair is a major win for the Right to Repair movement, but will only be useful to those who feel comfortable fixing an iPhone themselves.
