The store covers the U.S., Canada and Europe. Apple also publishes repair manuals for each device, so owners can fix a unit themselves instead of booking a visit to a Genius Bar or an Apple Authorized Service Provider.\n\nSelf Service Repair is the program Apple launched in 2022, in which it sells genuine parts and instructions to people who want to do their own repairs. A program like that is only as useful as its coverage of current hardware. Adding the newest iPhones and two desktop lines means Apple is extending the store to new models, not leaving it at the devices it started with.\n\nWhat is confirmed: four device lines, three regions and a manual for each. Pricing and the exact parts list for each model are best checked on Apple's store before you plan a repair.","[\"apple\",\"right-to-repair\",\"iphone\",\"mac\"]","2026-10-20T14:42:22.000Z","2026-10-20T15:09:51.893Z","2026-10-20T15:09:52.168Z","published",null,[24,30,34],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Remove the leftover meta line 'The material we reviewed did not say which parts are stocked or what they cost' and rework the closing paragraph so it doesn't hedge about data missing from the announcement; instead, state plainly what is confirmed (devices, regions, manuals), attribute the listing details to MacRumors\u002F9to5Mac, and note that Apple's pricing and parts list should be checked on the store itself, or find those figures before publishing.","resolved",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"The meta line is gone, but the draft still doesn't name MacRumors\u002F9to5Mac as the source for the listing details (it only says 'coverage of the store listings'), and it makes unsupported claims, such as that Apple's program 'has tracked those markets closely' and that right-to-repair pressure there has been 'loud'; name the sources and cut or support those claims.",{"id":35,"reviewer":26,"round":36,"reason":37,"status":29},"editor-r3",3,"The draft still hedges about missing data in paragraph three (\"The coverage does not say what the parts cost...\") and in the closing paragraph (\"What remains open is the price\"), and it credits only 9to5Mac, not MacRumors as well.
