iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max repair parts can now be purchased directly from Apple. Additionally, the company offers repair parts for the M5 Max/Ultra-equipped Mac Studio and the new Mac mini under its Self Service Repair Program.

With the use of Apple’s official repair manuals, you can buy the replacement parts to carry out Do-It-Yourself (DIY) repairs.

Genuine iPhone 18 Pro parts come at a price

Apple’s Self Service Repair Program lets customers with the technical knowledge and experience to fix electronic devices perform certain repairs themselves rather than take them to an Apple Store or authorized service provider. The program provides access to genuine Apple parts, specialized repair tools and official repair manuals for supported products, including iPhones, iPads and Macs

Apple typically takes a month or so to start selling repair parts for its newest devices. It’s now doing so for the iPhone 18 Pro family.

With important components available directly from Apple, this makes things easy for users who want to carry out Do-It-Yourself (DIY) repairs. You can order these parts from Apple’s Self Service Repair Store. 

Apple’s replacement part prices may be on the higher side. But at least you know you will receive genuine components. The company is charging $329 for the iPhone 18 Pro’s replacement display, with other accessories like the screws and cowling costing extra. Likewise, a replacement back glass costs $159.

Some third-party repair stores may be able to offer lower prices. But then again, there’s no guarantee that they would use genuine replacement parts. You can send the defective or broken component from your device to Apple for a small credit. 

Mac parts and repair manuals also join the lineup

For the Mac Studio and Mac mini, Apple now offers replacement Thunderbolt and USB-C ports, speakers, SSD modules, logic boards and power supplies.

Besides the components, Apple also provides detailed manuals to help carry out the repairs.

If you’re new to the DIY scene, you can rent out the toolkit directly from Apple to carry out the necessary repairs. While the rental price itself is cheap, Apple will hold an authorization on your card for the toolkit’s entire value.
