Another reason some patrons choose to have iPhones repaired at other shops would be the price of repairs. Apple repairs can cost up to an amount that could let you buy the iPhone you intend to send for repair.

There are DIY guides in the internet to fixing some damaged parts such as the display, or the speakers. However, be cautious and read the instructions at least twice to avoid messing up. Once again, the parts for iPhone are out in the market, so do some research to get your hands on quality repair parts.

I should just bring this to a professional.” That’s understandable, but the very fact that with a bit of studying, even you can repair your own phone, what more when you place your iPhone for repair in the hands of a person who has been repairing phones for a living?
