The Top 5 Most Common iPhone Repairs: What You Need to Know

When it comes to the different kinds of damages that may happen to mobile devices, uBrokeiT, a repair business that specializes in iPhone repairs, has seen it all. Although iPhones are renowned for their durability, mishaps can still occur, and some forms of damage are more frequent than others.

In this blog article, we'll talk about the top five iPhone repairs that we see most frequently at our store and offer advice on how to avoid getting them in the first place.

Common iPhone repair by uBrokeiT

1. Shattered screens: By far, this is the most frequent kind of damage to iPhones. Has the damage been fixed as quickly as you can, whether it's a little crack or a broken screen, to avoid future harm? Consider purchasing a strong phone case and a screen protector to prevent this.

2. Battery replacements: iPhone batteries can degrade and lose capacity over time, resulting in reduced battery life and possible shutdowns. Avoid allowing your phone's battery totally discharge before charging it to stop this from happening, and think about disabling functions like location services or background app refresh to extend battery life.

3. Water damage: Although it's not always visible, putting your iPhone in water unintentionally might result in significant harm. A flickering screen, issues with the touch screen, or the phone not turning on at all are all indications of water damage. Be cautious while using your phone near water to avoid this from happening, and if you intend to use your phone next to the water, think about getting a waterproof case.

4. Charging port issues: It may become challenging to charge your phone as a result of dust and dirt clogging charging ports over time. Try to keep your phone and charging cord clean and away from dust and grime to avoid this from happening.

5. Home button issues: Your iPhone's home button is a crucial component, but with time, it may get worn or broken. Try to avoid overusing the home button to minimize this from happening, and think about using your iPhone's "assistive touch" option to lessen home button wear and tear.

These are the top five iPhone repairs that we perform at our store, to sum up. You can make your iPhone last longer and save the inconvenience and cost of repairs by taking efforts to avoid these kinds of problems from arising in the first place. And if you do encounter any of these problems, don't hesitate to ship your iPhone in for expert repair or bring it into our store at 2931 S Sepulveda Blvd Ste C, LA 90064.

Apple is known for its innovative and intuitive products. If you're tech-savvy, chances are that your iPhone is an essential part of your life. However, as we all know, phones don't last forever. As soon as the battery starts to lose its juice or the phone's screen cracks from a fall off the couch (oops), it can be tempting to go with a new device - but before you do that, consider trading in your old iPhone for maximum trade-in value!

So many people are unaware of one of the best parts of being an iPhone owner. It’s that they retain their value!

Did I Break my Glass or LCD/OLED on my iPhone

YIKES…you just dropped your shiny and very expensive iPhone

Usually, the first question we all ask is “How much is this going to cost me to fix’? The answer to that question usually depends on 2 things

• Is the glass broken?

• is the LCD broken?

There are essentially three layers that exist on your phone:

• THE GLASS- this is the top layer of your phone and what the user is always in contact with. The glass layer is normally very durable and is built to withstand occasional drops or mishaps. This layer’s function is simple- it is there to protect your iPhone’s other layers.

• THE DIGITIZER- The function of this layer is touch response. It is what allows the user to type, scroll, or move in and out of apps. If the iPhone screen is frozen, the keyboard won’t work, or the iPhone has a mind of its own, then the digitizer has been damaged.

• THE LCD or OLED- this layer is responsible for the image on your screen. If it breaks you might notice odd colors, lines, black marks or blotches, or not see any image at all.

Once you have identified the issue with your phone after the drop there is only one more thing to figure out.

What model iPhone do I have?

There are a few ways to figure out the model of your iPhone

• Go into settings/ general/ about and look under the model name

• On the back of iPhones without glass on the back (iPhone 7 plus and older) there will be a printed model number in very small print starting with “A”

• Look at the original box that came with your APPLE device
