On October 20, 2026, 9to5Mac reported that Apple had begun selling Self Service Repair parts and tools for iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. AppleInsider also reported the parts as available. The reported list covers major components, but replacing them can involve difficult physical access and post-swap software configuration.
Which iPhone parts are included in the reports?
9to5Mac's reported categories include back glass, batteries, top and bottom speakers, front and rear cameras, displays, enclosures, logic boards, the main microphone, SIM trays and the Taptic Engine. It also reported that repair tools and supplies, including suction cups, probes, adhesive tools and torque drivers, could be purchased separately.
Apple's iPhone 18 Pro Repair Manual, XZJFDK, lists procedures for the display, back glass, battery, cameras, speakers, SIM tray, Taptic Engine, microphone, USB-C connector, logic board and enclosure. Several procedures are split into eSIM and pSIM versions, and the manual lists separate logic-board procedures for models with and without a mmWave antenna. Apple's official repair manual gives the model-specific procedure details.
Reported U.S. part prices
9to5Mac reported a $249 camera assembly and a $59.76 credit for returning the original, bringing the cost to $189.24 if the credit is received. Its storefront screenshot labels that camera for iPhone 18 Pro Max. A component price is not an installed repair quote.
GSMArena reported display prices of $329 for iPhone 18 Pro and $379 for iPhone 18 Pro Max. The respective return credits were $16.45 and $18.95, leaving $312.55 and $360.05 if each credit is received. Its report also listed batteries at $129, with a $61.92 return credit, or $67.08 after credit; it marked the Pro Max battery “Coming Soon.” Back glass was listed at $159, with a reported $120.84 amount after credit.
AppleInsider reported that the repair toolkit could be rented for seven days for $49. That is a separate tool-rental cost, not a replacement-part price.
Display removal affects access to the battery
iFixit's teardown says the battery tray is secured with screws, but reaching it requires removing the display. The battery cell is attached to the tray with electrically releasable adhesive. iFixit assigned both Pro models a provisional repairability score of 7 out of 10.
In its teardown of four phones, iFixit found that the plastic display frame cracked or separated in three after display removal. The four-phone sample does not establish a failure rate. A viewer commenting on iFixit's teardown also cautioned against assuming the original water resistance after opening the screen.
REWA Technology found a display warning in its iOS 27 swap test
In a test swapping components between two iPhone 18 Pro devices running iOS 27, REWA Technology reported that Repair Assistant offered configuration for the display, battery, front and rear cameras, and enclosure. The back-glass swap showed no configuration status, and the rear camera did not require separate calibration after configuration. Swapping display sensor-flex cables produced an “unknown part” message for the display in that test.
