With the European Union strongly pushing the right to repair movement, Apple had recently announced its Self Service Repair program in the US. Now, it seems that other brands might be following suit with a similar service as Xiaomi could be launching a new repair program for the Indian market.

For those unaware, Apple had launched a new program that will allow users to repair some of their products by themselves, using tools and parts officially provided by the Cupertino based brand. And earlier this week, Xiaomi India had also announced a service program through their official Twitter handle. In the social media post, the Chinese tech giant simply shared “Services Simplified,” with a caption stating that “We Care. For us, it’s always been about You It’s been about Your experience with us. We’ve always strived to put You first. And now, we’re taking things a notch higher, just for You. We Care.”
While this information reveals practically nothing about the service itself, the company might be planning on offering a simplified program that might make repairs and related services simpler. Furthermore, this could even include the “self service” aspect similar to Apple’s recent program. Keep in mind that this is just an educated guess based on the timing of both announcements so take it with a pinch of salt for now.
Back in August, we had also reported on the brand filing for a Xiaomi Mi Care repair service trademark. Previously, this particular program had only been available in its home market of China. Thus, the trademark implied that the service could be launching in overseas market as well. India is a key region for the Chinese brand, so it won’t be a surprise if the program in question makes its appearance in the country. So stay tuned for more updates regarding this matter.
