Previously, Apple officially launched a self-service repair service, consumers can get maintenance manuals and original Apple parts and tools through apple self-service repair shops. It is understood that the current self-service maintenance service is only launched in the United States, and will be expanded to other countries and regions in the future.
Recently, MacRumors videographer Dan Barbera conducted a test of Apple's self-service repair, comparing the difference between sending the iPhone to Apple's offline store for repair and repairing it yourself. It is understood that Dan himself cost a total of $95.84 (about 634 yuan) to repair the iPhone battery, while sending the iPhone to the Apple offline store to replace the battery only costs $69 (about 457 yuan), and the difference between the two is nearly 200 yuan. From this point of view, it is not cost-effective to repair the iPhone yourself.
Official information shows that Apple's repair tools contain two boxes, one weighing 43 pounds (about 19.5 kilograms) and the other weighing 36 pounds (about 16.3 kilograms), which together weigh about 36 kilograms. In addition, both boxes have wheels that facilitate transport. It is understood that Apple's tool rental suite costs $49 (about 321 yuan) and the lease term lasts for one week.
