iPhone Repair

Issues Your Apple iPhone May Encounter

iPhone users will face various types of problems when they update to a new iOS, transfer data from an old iPhone to a new one, jailbreak, or launch any new app on their device. There are different reasons for such iPhone problems to happen, from hardware/software related to even some bugs within the iOS which just need to be fixed.

Some of the most common issues, and their fixes, are as follows:

iPhone White Screen of Death:

A failed upgrade, jailbreak, or hardware problem tends to lead to what is known as the iPhone White Screen of Death. The simplest way around this is restarting the device. If that does not do the work, a hard reset (factory reset) to your iPhone may help. However, if even that does not solve it, booting your iPhone in DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode may be the last resort.

Doing either the latter or a hard reset will clear all your settings and any data on the iPhone. 

iPhone Gets Dropped:

The most common way that people begins to have issues with their iPhones is when it falls out of a pocket or bag. This usually either leads to the screen cracking, the glass back being smashed or damaging the case in one way or another. It depends on the kind of surface you drop it on.

The harder the surface, the bigger the bill! Damages could range from something as simple as a scratched screen or some cosmetic scratches on the casing to the common smashed or cracked screens, broken buttons and even the sound not working.

Scratched iPhone Housing:

Throughout the years, the iPhone has been upgraded with every new release, but if you insist on not using a phone case, then you have to expect everyday wear and tear. This could happen even if you simply have your iPhone in your bag or pockets as our daily lives make it difficult to avoid this problem.

While people tend to believe “Is it possible to simply polish out a scratch”, the answer is usually a resounding no; if it is on the screen, we at ProntoArigato can only replace it, and if it is on a metal component, then polishing it would only cause more damage as it would heat up the small inner components and the friction would only cause them to heat up and be further damaged.

iPhone Water Damage:

Water damages are usually the most painful event you can have for your iPhone. Usually, when such an event occurs, it is beyond repair, especially the older version of the iPhones. The newer versions, however, have been proven to be more water-resistant than those, with some users reporting that even a complete submersion of the device causes no long-term damage.

However, if water did get in, and something happened to your iPhone that you are not able to troubleshoot yourself, bring your device to us and we will give it a look and try our utmost to repair the iPhone! 

Extreme Temperatures:

Leaving your iPhone on the dashboard of your car on a sunny day may cause your iPhone to start to play up, malfunction, or stop working altogether. 

Even if left in a glove box, the temperature a car sustained over a period of time may rise and cause irreparable damage to the iPhone. Even extremely low temperatures can cause damage to the screens or sensitive internal components.

Either extreme temperatures may cause significant damage to your iPhone, so it is best to try to avoid being in such a situation to ensure your device continues working in its present condition.

Dust and Dirt Inside the iPhone:

Dust and dirt are everywhere in our lives, so small dust particles will easily work their way into the iPhone and cause premature failure of the boards and small electronic components. 

While a phone case may protect your iPhone from the worst of the day-to-day dirt that floats into your pockets or bags, this is unavoidable.

Sending it to our expert technicians would ensure we can clean up the phone with little to no damage and we confirm professional quality help so no further damages will be done.

Bent iPhone AKA Bendgate:

One of the most common issues you can face, a bent iPhone usually happens after being put in your pocket. As with most other smartphones today, the iPhone is thin and very malleable, made out of metal and glass. Though this makes it very light and user-friendly, the device will also succumb to even a modest pressure on either and can leave the device with a noticeable bend.

While there is no clear method to truly solve this aside from overhauling the whole casing, the best way is to avoid putting it in your pockets and then bending or crouching down as the fabric of your clothes could form the iPhone around your body and causing the bend.

Broken Glass:

Most users tend to have a cracked screen for the iPhones, yet it is still working to a certain extend as although the glass can break, the “digitizer” beneath it will still remain active and respond to your touch. It is the reason why most users choose to avoid changing this.

However, it does make it easier for the dust to go into your iPhone, and unfortunately, replacing the glass means replacing the digitizer as well as it is bonded together, and if removing only the glass, it is highly likely would damage the digitizer due to his fragility. This means a broken glass would ultimately need a full replacement screen, something we can provide and professionally install.

Damaged Memory:

Known to have a solid-state memory that has a very long lifespan, the iPhone is still prone to failing prematurely due to any of the above issues. Water, extreme temperatures or impact, even bending could cause the memory to break, due to the fragile nature of the device.

Depending on the model and the type of damage it sustained, repairing it is possible by simply replacing the board the memory is attached to, although it is fair to warn the repair is costly and using the utmost care and quality protection for your device would avoid such a cost.

Headphone Jack Breaks:

A problem that the latest models have successfully eliminated due to the product now enabling Bluetooth to connect to a pair of wireless headphones, the older models would still face this as the headphone sockets could be damaged due to putting high pressure on the headphone socket from aggressively inserting the jack or wiggling it about too much.

Fixing it is still a possibility, although it would depend on the extent of the damage and how much force has been applied to it.

Fast Battery Drain:

There are various ways and methods you can use on your own to replace an iPhone battery. However, it is worth noting that if you were to get it wrong, it would cause more damage to the iPhone and even weaken your battery life further.

Many users have attempted to do so on their own only to discover they are unable to complete the repair, and when assessed, we discover even further issues to the state of the iPhone and even more issues to fix with. If you need help fixing, sometimes going to professional help may cut the cost from the start as compared to trying to fix it on your own and further damaging your iPhone.

Battery Replacement:

Many iPhone users face the issue of having to change the battery after continous using. It is very common and nothing to worry about. All smartphones have a breaking point so if you are using your phone for so long or have a lot of use to it in a short amount of time, the battery gets affected.
