Apple includes a built-in diagnostic tool for both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs that identifies hardware faults. Users access it via specific startup key combinations, receiving reference codes that indicate issues ranging from battery problems to memory failures. The tool supports self-service repair options and is recommended for verifying the condition of used devices.
Apple is expanding its self-service repair program to include M3 iMac, 14-inch MacBook Pro, and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, allowing customers to purchase genuine Apple parts and tools and access repair manuals. The company has also added parts for these models to its self-service repair store in the U.S. and select European countries, and will make Apple Diagnostics available for M3 Macs in the U.S. early next month. Additionally, Apple is simplifying the System Configuration process for all Mac models in countries where the self-service repair program is available.
