The M1 chip is found in the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops. You will be able to buy genuine parts for the 2020 M1 MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and the 14- and 16-inch M1 MacBook Pros from Apple's Self Service Repair Store once the program opens tomorrow.

This expands on the repair program Apple launched earlier this year, which originally included parts for the iPhone 12 and 13 Apple plans to bring the program to Europe next.

The display, top case, Touch ID, and trackpad are some of the parts that will be available to start. It could cost as little as $5 for screws, $29 for speakers, and $580 for an entire logic board, according to the website.

The program will be extended to more Mac models later this year, including the M2 MacBook Air, iMac, and Mac Studio Display. If you don't want to buy the tools required to make the repair, Apple says you can rent a kit for $49.

In order to swap out a Touch ID module or logic board at home, it will need to be serialized either with a tool or by Apple before the parts are shipped.
