Apple has expanded its Self Service Repair program to include the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone Air, giving customers the option to perform their own repairs using genuine Apple parts and tools. The new devices are now supported through Apple’s Self Service Repair Store in the U.S., Canada, and select European countries, including the U.K., Ireland, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, and Switzerland (via MacRumors).
The program offers components and tools for a range of repairs on all four new iPhone models, including the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Available parts include:
Customers can even rent a toolkit for seven days at $70.35 ($49 USD in the U.S.), providing access to specialized equipment required for these repairs.

Before beginning any repair, Apple advises users to consult the official repair manuals available on its website for the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. These guides provide detailed, step-by-step instructions and important safety information to ensure proper handling of parts and components.
This update comes after Apple added its latest entry-level model, the iPhone 16e, to the Self Service Repair program back in April. The program, which launched in 2022, was initially limited to the U.S. and select European markets. In May, Apple announced plans to add support for iPads and bring the service to Canada, officially launching it north of the border in August.
Initially covering devices like the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, and the third-generation iPhone SE, Apple’s Self Service Repair program has since expanded to include a wide variety of iPhones, Macs, iPads, Studio Displays, and Beats Pill speakers.
While the Self Service Repair program provides access to genuine Apple parts, tools, and manuals, Apple notes that it is “intended for individuals who are experienced with the complexities of repairing electronic devices.” The company recommends that most customers still seek assistance from certified technicians or Apple Authorized Service Providers for safety and reliability.
