Apple brings Self Service Repair to iPad

Apple has expanded its Self Service Repair program, enabling customers to fix their iPad Air (M2), iPad Pro (M4), iPad mini (A17 Pro), and iPad (A16) devices using official parts and tools. This move aligns with global push for consumer control over repair rights while maintaining Apple's grip on product maintenance. Additionally, the company is introducing a Genuine Parts Distributor program to allow third-party repair shops access to authentic Apple components, further broadening its repair ecosystem. With Canada set to join this initiative next summer, Apple is balancing innovation and oversight, offering consumers more flexibility in how they maintain their devices.
