In particular, the final stage of repair has become easier
Apple has announced that the Self Service Repair program will be available for the iPhone 14 lineup and additional Mac models starting June 21, including the 13-inch MacBook Air and the Apple M2-based MacBook Pro.
The owners of these devices have received permission to self-repair equipment using official parts, tools and manuals from the corporation. Apple has also made the system setup process used to repair iPhones easier, including replacing displays, batteries, and cameras. System Configuration is a post-repair software tool that ensures that repairs using genuine Apple parts have been completed correctly and the parts are working as expected. The tool is available free of charge to all users.

Running a system configuration after a repair allows you to authenticate original Apple parts, update firmware, and calibrate parts for maximum performance and quality. In addition, for repairs related to biometric authentication such as Touch ID or Face ID, the system configuration links biometric sensors to a module on the motherboard to ensure device security and customer privacy.
Self-service users can now initiate system setup by putting their devices into diagnostic mode and following the onscreen instructions. Users no longer need to contact Self Repair Support to complete the last step of the repair.
Self-repair will also be available for the True Depth camera and top speaker of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 lines, as well as desktop Macs with the Apple M1 in the US, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the UK.
