Apple’s diagnostic tool for its products is becoming an invaluable feature for users and repair shops.
The introduction of the Apple self-repair diagnostic tool in the US last year may have been an envy for users in other territories. But fret not, it’s not a US-exclusive because the tech giant just expanded it to Europe. Now, a total of 33 countries and 24 languages are supported!
What does it do? The tool can do what Apple Authorized Service Providers and Independent Repair Providers can: identify parts that may need repair.
While it won’t repair broken parts, the tool can show you what’s truly broken. It’s also an excellent tool for unlicensed repair shops because it can pinpoint what should be fixed.
But don’t forget that Apple only permits the repair of iPhones with genuine parts. Using bogus or unapproved parts can lead to issues.
The iPhone 15 has numerous repairable modules, compared to its predecessors, especially the first generation. Here’s the list:
- SIM tray
- Battery
- Haptics
- Rear camera
- Main logic board
- Display
- Bottom speaker
- Top speaker
- Enclosure
- TrueDepth camera
- Back glass
- Main microphone
Besides detecting iPhones for issues, the diagnostic tool can also screen Mac and Studio Display for problems. All in all, the tool supports 42 Apple products, including MacBook Air models powered by M3.
Canada is also getting the self repair diagnostic tool soon.
