The expansion of Fix It Yourself allows customers to move about repairs much faster. Many users who supported the “Right to Repair” movement supported the expansion of the self-service program. In response, some customers criticized Apple, saying that consumers are not experienced enough in repairing their own devices.
Let us also remind you that the program led to some interesting events. For example, in May, a 79-pound toolbox was shipped instead of a small kit. The customer who rented the toolkit just to replace the battery paid £79 for this bag.
Prices for the Do It Yourself service has also been the subject of discussion. The Apple Store charges $69 for battery replacement, while the costs included in the Self-Service procedure start at $100. In addition, a credit card with a limit of $ 1,200 is required for rented vehicles.
