Apple launches home repair program in Italy

(ANSA) - ROME, DECEMBER 06 - The Apple Self Service Repair program also arrives in Italy.

It is the initiative thanks to which anyone can purchase original Cupertino spare parts and tools for their devices.

Customers who want to complete their own repairs will be able to perform many of the most common repairs for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 lines, and Mac notebooks with Apple chips.

    The Self Service Repair Store gives you access to over 200 different parts and tools as well as repair manuals.

The program provides users familiar with the intricacies of repairing electronic devices the opportunity to use the same manuals, parts, and tools available at Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers.

The company will offer rental kits for those who don't want to buy the tools for a single repair, so they still have access to professional tools.

The kits can be rented for a week with free shipping.

    "We believe the best technology for our customers and our planet is technology that lasts, so we design our products to be rugged and rarely require maintenance or repairs," said Jeff Williams, Apple's chief operating officer.

"But when a repair is needed, we want customers to be able to choose from many safe and reliable options to repair their devices. That's why we are happy to also launch the Self Service Repair program in Europe, which will give direct access to original Apple parts, tools and manuals" .

Each spare part undergoes thorough tests to guarantee the highest standards in terms of quality, safety and reliability.

The sale price is the same as the authorized service centers of the Apple network.
