Apple in April 2022 launched a dedicated Self Service Repair program that provides the repair manuals, parts, and tools necessary for fixing the third-generation iPhone SE display, battery, bottom speaker, camera, display, SIM Tray, and Taptic Engine.

Before any repair can be initiated using the repair program, you need to read through the manual to see what it entails. The manual for the third-generation iPhone SE can be accessed using the link below.

The repair manual explains how the repair process works and it walks through the parts that are available for purchase. It also includes details on how to set up for a repair, the steps required, and what to do if something goes wrong.

Apple also has repair manuals for all iPhone 12 and 13 models, with download links available below.

After downloading and reviewing a repair manual, those who want to proceed with Apple's tools and equipment can initiate an order on Apple's Self Service Repair website.
