Yesterday, Apple revealed it would expand its Self Service Repair program to let you fix your own MacBooks, and today the program is here. You can now download full repair manuals for your 2021 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros and the 2020 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro and M1 MacBook Air \u2014 and shop for parts you might need.<\/p>\n
But what will Apple actually let you buy, and how much will you really<\/em> have to share? That’s not obvious until you enter your serial numbers and root around the company’s entire store \u2014 so we did it for you. <\/p>\n

Many prices seem (relatively) generous! Others, not so much. You can’t just replace your own battery or keyboard on a MacBook Pro, for example! You have to buy the entire top lid that comes with that and other parts preattached, and it’ll cost you more than twice<\/em> the $199 that Apple charges for a battery replacement. Apple didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
