Apple adds desktop Macs with M1 chips, Studio Display to its self-service repair program
Apple expands its do-it-yourself repair program to add its Mac desktops with Apple Silicon and the Studio Display. This means Apple users in the US can get parts, tools, and repair manuals for self-service repairs. The program has already expanded to a handful of countries (Canada still isn't included), but the parts for these additions aren't available outside the US for now. The manuals for Mac desktops with Apple Silicon and Studio Display are available online, though.
Meanwhile, the tool kits for Mac desktops and Studio Display can be rented from Apple's self-service repair store for US$49 each and must be returned after seven days. Apple says this program is for users who are "experienced with the complexities of repairing electronic devices." The "vast majority" of its customers are still advised to visit a "professional repair provider."
