Apple Diagnostics for Self Service Repair
When you take a faulty device to an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, they can use diagnostic software capable of identifying problems with every aspect of your device: battery, radio chip, cameras, sensors, eSIM, Face ID, and so on.
Access to this software greatly simplifies the repair process by determining exactly what work needs to be done.
Previously, there was no way for a customer or an unofficial repair shop to access this tool, but that changed in the US about six months ago.
