While the program empowers customers to repair their own devices, it falls short in several crucial areas.

=== User Freedom ===

While Apple’s self‑service repair program nominally expands repair options, it still limits which components can be serviced by end‑users. Certain parts remain unavailable, preserving a barrier to full DIY repair.

Performing a repair outside Apple‑approved channels can also void warranty coverage, discouraging users from exercising the option.

=== User Privacy ===

* Ordering parts requires the serial number of the devices to be repaired

* Some parts require a mandatory "[https://support.apple.com/en-us/102488 Apple Diagnostics]" step after the repair

=== Business Model ===

By selling parts, Apple moves part of its repair revenue from service‑center labor to component sales. This can reduce margins on high‑value labor while still controlling pricing through OEM‑only parts

=== Market Control ===

Apple retains exclusive control over the distribution of genuine parts, limiting competition from independent refurbishers or third‑party manufacturers.

The SSR program appears, in part, to pre‑empt stricter right‑to‑repair legislation. By offering a “controlled” version of repair, Apple can argue compliance while maintaining leverage over how repairs are performed.
