Apple today announced the addition of iPad to its Self Service Repair program, giving iPad users access to repair manuals, genuine Apple parts, Apple Diagnostics troubleshooting sessions, tools, and rental kits. Starting tomorrow, the program will be available for the iPad Air (with M2 chip and later), iPad Pro (with M4 chip), iPad mini (with A17 Pro chip), and iPad (with A16 chip). The launch will include components such as displays, batteries, cameras, and external charging ports.
Today’s announcement builds on Apple’s broader expansion of repair services, which allows customers and independent repair providers to perform out-of-warranty repairs. It also includes new details about the Genuine Parts Reseller program.
“At Apple, our goal is to create the world’s best products and make them last as long as possible,” said Brian Naumann, Apple’s Vice President of AppleCare. “With today’s announcement, we’re excited to expand our repair offerings to reach more customers, helping them extend the life of their devices even further without compromising safety or privacy.”
Launched in 2022, the Self Service Repair program provides customers who are comfortable making their own repairs with access to the same manuals, genuine Apple parts, and tools used at Apple Store locations and Apple Authorized Service Providers. In line with Apple’s commitment to expanding repair access, the company continues to grow Self Service Repair to include more products and regions. With the addition of iPad, the Self Service Repair Store now supports 65 Apple products, including the new iPhone 16e, MacBook Air, and Mac Studio. Soon, Canada will become the 34th country to offer Apple’s Self Service Repair program.
Today’s set of announcements also includes more details about Apple’s Genuine Parts Reseller program. This newly launched initiative expands access to businesses that do not have a direct service relationship with Apple, addressing a market need for repair options and offering more choices for customers. Through this program, independent mobile device repair professionals can order genuine Apple parts and components through third-party distributors, including MobileSentrix in the U.S., and MobileSentrix and Mobileparts.shop in Europe. The program offers a wide range of Apple parts for iPhone repairs, such as displays, batteries, and charging ports. iPad parts will be available starting tomorrow.

In recent years, Apple has strengthened its presence in the repair industry by expanding the number of professional service centers with access to genuine Apple parts, tools, and training. Apple’s repair options include Apple Store locations, Apple Authorized Service Providers, independent repair providers, mail-in repair centers, Self Service Repair, and the Genuine Parts Reseller program.
