Apple has officially expanded its Self Service Repair program to include the newly launched iPhone 17 lineup, empowering users with more repair flexibility and access to genuine Apple components.
Originally introduced in the United States in April 2022, the Self Service Repair program aims to provide skilled consumers and independent technicians access to Apple-certified parts, tools, and detailed repair guides.
With this expansion, users owning the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the lightweight iPhone Air can now order original Apple parts and download step-by-step repair manuals directly from Apple’s Self Service Repair portal. This initiative allows customers to handle repairs such as battery replacements, camera fixes, and screen repairs without relying solely on authorized service centers.
iPhone 17 Series Now Eligible for Self Repairs
The iPhone 17 series marks the latest addition to Apple’s growing list of repair-eligible products. Customers in supported regions can now access genuine cameras, speakers, back glass, batteries, and other critical components. However, Apple recommends that only those familiar with technical repairs attempt the process, as modern iPhones feature complex internal designs that require precision and care.
Although repair manuals include comprehensive instructions, the company emphasizes that inexperienced users may find repairs challenging and could risk device damage. For many, visiting a professional repair center may still be the safer choice.

As the right-to-repair movement gains momentum globally, Apple’s latest update gives users more control over maintaining their devices. Whether choosing DIY repair or professional service, iPhone 17 owners now have more flexible and secure repair options backed by official Apple resources.
