Apple expands Self Service Repair Store to include M4 Mac lineup
In a significant move for DIY tech enthusiasts and repair advocates, Apple has broadened its Self Service Repair program by adding parts and manuals for its latest M4 Mac models. This expansion includes the M4 Mac mini, the M4 MacBook Pro (both 14-inch and 16-inch variants), and the M4 iMac.
Launched initially in April 2022, Apple’s Self Service Repair program has been a response to the growing right-to-repair movement, offering consumers the chance to fix their devices with genuine Apple parts. This latest update, announced on February 5, 2025, underscores Apple’s commitment to providing repair options for its newest hardware.
What’s New with the M4 Macs in Self Service Repair?
• M4 Mac mini: Owners can now purchase components like power buttons, logic boards, fans, and USB-C ports, enabling repairs for common issues without needing to visit an Apple Store or authorized service provider.
• M4 MacBook Pro: For both the 14-inch and 16-inch models, the repair store provides access to parts such as displays, top cases with keyboards and batteries, SSD modules, and other internals. This move could be particularly beneficial for those looking to replace damaged screens or upgrade storage.
• M4 iMac: Similarly, parts for the all-in-one M4 iMac, including logic boards, speakers, and Wi-Fi antennas, are now available, ensuring users can maintain their devices’ performance and functionality.
How the Program Works
For those interested in self-repair, customers start by reviewing the detailed repair manuals available on Apple’s support website. These manuals guide users through each step of the repair process. After identifying the needed parts, customers can order them directly from the Self Service Repair Store, which operates in the U.S. and several European countries. The store not only sells parts but also offers tools for rent or purchase, necessary for professional-grade repairs.
Customers must return core parts, such as logic boards, to Apple post-repair, similar to what’s required by Apple Authorized Service Providers. This practice supports Apple’s sustainability efforts by allowing for the refurbishment and recycling of used components.
