What is Self Service Repair?
Apple program allowing consumers to buy genuine parts and repair their own devices.
Impact on shops: much smaller than feared. Parts are expensive, tools are heavy (35kg kit), most consumers lack skills. Opportunity: legitimizes repair, creates awareness, converts customers who give up mid-repair.
What to do: don't panic, communicate your value, offer free diagnostics.
