Apple has now announced a significant expansion of its Self Service Repair program. With the aim of providing users with more flexibility and convenience when repairing their devices, the Self Service Repair program will now be available for the brand new iPhone 14, as well as the M2 13″ MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with M2 Pro and M2 Max.
