Apple's Online Diagnostics Tool and Expanded Self-Service Repair Program Now Include iPhone 15 and M2 Macs

Apple has expanded its Self Service Repair program to include access to its diagnostics tool online, allowing users to test devices for optimal functionality and identify parts that may need repair. The tool is currently available in the US and will be available in Europe in 2024. However, critics argue that Apple's use of parts pairing limits the effectiveness of the program, as it restricts the usage of third-party parts. Despite this, Apple has made progress in supporting user repairability and has become an advocate for right-to-repair legislation. The program now supports 35 products and will be expanded to 24 new European countries.
