Apple today announced Self Service Repair is now available, providing repair manuals and genuine Apple parts and tools through the Apple Self Service Repair Store. Self Service Repair is available in the US and will expand to additional countries — beginning in Europe — later this year.
The new online store offers more than 200 individual parts and tools, enabling customers who are experienced with the complexities of repairing electronic devices to complete repairs on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 lineups and iPhone SE (3rd generation), such as the display, battery, and camera. Later this year the program will also include manuals, parts, and tools to perform repairs on Mac computers with Apple silicon.
To start the Self Service Repair process, a customer will first review the repair manual for the product they want to repair by visiting support.apple.com/self-service-repair. Then, they can visit the Apple Self Service Repair Store and order the necessary parts and tools.

I'm very surprised with the reasonable pricing of the parts listed. It'll be interesting to see how they price things as they add more devices.

Back in the day there wasn't a Mac 128k, SE, SE30 or classic I couldn't upgrade the hell out of using nothing more than an extended t15 torx. 
Couldn't count how many of these I upgraded ram, hard drives and even a color monitor swap on the SE30.

The SE30 was an upgrade beast. I have a tricked out SE30 that I restored just a few years ago. Recapped and washed the mainboard, repaired corroded traces to fix the audio, upgraded the ram from 1MB to 128MB, upgraded the 40MB hard drive to 8GB solid state, and replaced the ROM with one that is 32-bit clean so I can push the OS version higher, and has a bunch of custom ROM addon goodies too.
I put an ethernet card in the expansion slot as well, and managed to post to TigerDroppings from it before. Not bad for a 1989 model computer (though it took several minutes to load each page). It'd be cool to put a color monitor in it too but I'd have to take the network card out for the necessary graphics card, and the network card is way more functional than color.
Really want to get a clear case for it like this and make it a decorative piece but I missed the production run and it'll be like $500 to get my hands on it now.

What could go wrong?

People actually being able to fix their own device?
I know in 2022 this seems foreign, but it should be the norm, and this line is thinking "non-official apple workers can't repair Apple products" is what got is in this mess.

A lot people are going to wreck their equipment trying this at home.

You also have to allow an extremely invasive scan after completion of repair. The terms of it are pretty extreme for verifying a repair.

Unless you are being sarcastic, It’s not an invasive scan, it has no access to user space. It is essentially calibrating the display and pairing the components that’s it. It is run via AST2 and the same procedure that is run in store.

Then they should update their terms because the terms are pretty insane

My phone screen is still $300+...
I think I am going to go get apple care and have them replace my scratched screen. You can't really see the scratch with the cover on and everything else works so I bet it passes inspection.
I didn't realize they switched to a softer glass when they made the 13 pro max "more durable". They just made it harder to shatter but more likely to scratch!
