Common cell phone repair myths when it comes to iPhones

Anybody who owns an iPhone must be well aware of the anxieties that come along. You’re always scared just in case it slips out of your hand or gets wet. Given the sleek design and ultra-smooth surface, we can’t really blame you. And as if the device isn’t expensive enough, the repairs are also devastatingly costly.

So you shouldn’t buy one? Of course you should if you must but be a smart buyer. If you know your options right, iPhone repairs are a breeze. iFix Mobile, the best option for iPhone Repairs in Toronto, tell us about the common myths regarding iPhone repairs.

iPhone repairs are only possible at official Apple stores

Many iPhone users are skeptical about their prized devices and they consider Apple official repairs to be the only available option. 

But there are many third party repair services providers that are thorough professionals and trained in their line of work. Apart from that, you’ll get your device repaired in less time and at an affordable price. Apple official repairs take up a lot of time and they’re costly. So if it’s not a major damage that you feel only Apple can handle, it’s practically safe to go for third party repair services.

Apple Care offers cheaper repairs.

Sure it’s good to have your phone insured. But it’s also good to know how much you’re paying and getting what in return.

Apple Care cost varies according to device. You may have to pay more for latest releases and less for older ones. For example, iPhone X Apple Care cost is $199 whereas iPhone 8 Plus cost is $149. That covers 2 accidental damages, software issues, accessories damage, etc. However, it does not cover a stolen or lost phone. 

Screen repairs under Apple Care costs $29 and rest of the repairs cost $99(not if you choose express replacement service). That’s again for 2 accidental damages and further you’re on your own. A food for thought-who’d in their right minds will deliberately damage a $999 phone? 

Now given you insured your iPhone 8 Plus for $149 and you damaged your phone screen just once in the two year time, you’d end up paying $149+$29=$178 for a single screen repair. Whereas you’ll be charged anywhere from $100-$120 at a third party repair for the same. Not a great deal we’d say. 

If you’re looking for DIY ways to fix your iPhone, stop right there. It’s a work of a professional team of technicians and there’s no quick fix. For any cell phone repairs or iPhone repairs in Toronto, iFix Mobile is the name to trust.
