Apple announced in a company blog post on Wednesday that several iPad models are now part of its self-repair program. Through this program, which has a dedicated and easy-to-use website, iPad owners can order detailed repair manuals, tools, and what Apple calls "genuine Apple parts" to fix whatever might be ailing their tablets. Apple says you can use this program to fix displays, batteries, charging ports, and cameras.

Unfortunately, this means anyone with an older iPad is probably out of luck on the home-repair front. Apple seems to favor newer products in the self-repair store, as the press release took great pride in noting that the recently launched iPhone 16e is supported by this program.
For a very long time, having to take your busted iPad into an Apple Store for repairs was just the way of things. However, the persistent "Right to Repair" movement eventually pressured companies like Apple into offering self-repair programs. Apple's started in 2022 and has expanded to support 65 products under the Apple banner.
Personally, I'll keep trusting the professionals more than myself.
