The Complexity Behind iPhone Repairs
You heard it here first–iPhones are highly complex digital devices pioneered by the Apple group to make our everyday lives easier–until your phone breaks down. A coming together of a number of hardware and software components that need to work in harmony for your phone to run seamlessly, any breakdown in one component–like the motherboard or camera—can lead to a breakdown in other systems and throw off your entire device.
Understanding this detailed nature of the inner and outer working complexity of all iPhones is the first step to understanding the repair process and work that goes into a professional handling your phone.
iPhone Repair Options: In Store and at Home
Whether you’re an experienced iPhone user or this is the first time you’ve been in a digital crunch, there are three common solutions most of our clients take when it comes to problem solving and fixing their phones:
- Visiting brand-specific service centres: like the Apple Store or Samsung Service Centres for Android users are the first stop most clients will take when facing phone breakdown or need repairs. But it can be expensive, time-consuming, and require you to leave your phone for a few days with the service provider. (Eek!)
- Third-party repair groups (like PTC North Lakes): often a more affordable and faster repair solution.
- DIY Kits for At-home Jobs: chances are if you Googled “how to fix my iPhone” a DIY at-home repair kit came up on the Google search results. A word of caution about these DIY kits–they are intended for simple fixes (like stuck Home buttons on older model iPhones) and not highly detailed jobs like operating system breakdown. Tread carefully if you want to try and DIY the repair job at home.
