From repairing the broken screen to replacing microphones and batteries. Apple is finally giving its customers complete freedom to repair their iPhones themselves without having to go through a service.

For now, the program only includes smartphones, but one day it will also be possible to make iPads and other Apple-branded devices.
No surcharge on spare parts: Apple explains that prices are exactly the same as affiliated repair centers. In short, the customer saves a lot of money – because he does not have to pay for the labor.
