Apple’s Self Service Repair now includes the M1 MacBook Air and MacBook Pro - The Verge

You can repair an M1 MacBook Air or MacBook Pro laptop at home using some of the same parts and tools used by Apple stores and its authorized repair providers. It will expand to Europe and support more Macs later this year.

Apple’s expanding its DIY repair program to include MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops equipped with the M1 chip. Once the program officially opens tomorrow, you’ll get to purchase genuine parts for the 2020 M1 MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and the 14- and 16-inch 2021 M1 MacBook Pros from Apple’s Self Service Repair Store.

This expands on the repair program Apple launched earlier this year, which initially included parts for the iPhone 12 and 13, such as the display, battery, and camera. While the program is currently only available in the US, Apple plans on bringing it to Europe next.

Apple’s making a number of MacBook parts available to start, including the display, top case with battery, Touch ID, and trackpad. Just like Apple does with its iPhones, it offers credit you can put towards your repair once you turn in the old part that you’re replacing.

For the MacBook Air’s display, you can expect to pay $395.12 ($307.12 after credit), while the 14-inch MacBook Pro’s display and lid angle sensor cost $672.32 ($579.04 after credit). The prices for the trackpad and Touch ID are the same for both notebooks, costing $95.92 ($78.32 after credit) and $87.10 ($60.70 after credit), respectively. As noted by TechCrunch, the prices for other Mac parts vary widely — $5 for screws, $29 for speakers, and about $580 for an entire logic board.
