Apple expands Self Service Repair

You can now also repair Apple devices yourself in Switzerland using original parts. In addition, the "Apple Diagnostics" software will be available for private individuals - initially in the USA and next year in Europe.

With Apple's Self Service Repair (SSR) programme, iPhones and Macs can be repaired at home. Apple is now expanding the programme to 24 additional European countries - including Switzerland. The iPhone 15 and Macs with M2 chips are now also supported. In total, SSR is now available for 35 products in 33 countries and 24 languages. The iPhone manufacturer writes this in a press release.

An additional innovation: Apple is now making the Apple Diagnostics software available to private individuals in the USA. This allows devices to be checked for faults. If something is broken, the tool provides information on repair options and the necessary materials. The tool will be available in Europe next year.

Only intended for experienced people

According to Apple, the most common repairs are batteries and displays. However, it is also possible to replace camera modules or speakers, for example. The prices in Switzerland are not yet known at the time of publication of this article. However, they should be available on Apple's website soon.

My fingerprint often changes so drastically that my MacBook doesn't recognise it anymore. The reason? If I'm not clinging to a monitor or camera, I'm probably clinging to a rockface by the tips of my fingers.
