iPhones have become a staple in modern life and phone repairs have become a necessary skill for technicians. What I want to dive into today is some common questions we get about iPhones, the most common repairs, iPhone models, and what have high quality parts means.

Did you ever dropped your phone? You jump straight on Google and pop in "iPhone repair near me" and hope you have someone down the street. Well, good on you for thinking of repairing instead of replacing.

An iPhone that needs repair is usually more cost-effective than replacing it with a new phone. For example, if you have a broken screen is cracked or its battery needs replacing, phone repair services often repair that one component, which means it'll be a lower price than buying a new iPhone altogether.

Additionally, most iPhone repairs done by professionals can last as long as the phone itself would, meaning it ends up saving the user money in the long run when compared to the person changing their phone every time something goes wrong.

Some phone repair shops can even specialise in Apple products like iPhones, so customers can be sure they're getting quality service from qualified professionals. As an example, here at Kixup Repairs, we're an authorised Apple repair shop, so we have all the relevant tools Apple use as well as access to authentic parts from the Apple warehouse.

Where can I find Apple-certified repair shops?

Many of us are asked this question. Apple doesn't like giving their tools to any random repair shop, you have to go through many hours of training and assessments. The superstar technicians at both our Mount Isa & Gladstone stores have gone through this training so you can trust that the repairs are of the highest caliber.

How much are screen replacements at the Apple store?

The prices of iPhone screen repairs is available on our website. Here at Kixup Repairs, our prices are extremely competitive against Apple, in the case that you choose the use our selection of high-quality aftermarket parts, it can be much cheaper than using genuine parts. 

All our repairs come with a hassle free lifetime warranty as well. Doesn't matter whether you have a damaged screen, need an iPhone motherboard repair, battery replacement, data recovery etc.

If you opt for genuine screen replacements, we are the same price as what you will get for at Apple as we get our parts directly from them. In some cases genuine is the same price as aftermarket. For example, an iPhone 11 screen repair is $220 for a genuine Apple screen, so we only offer genuine because we previously had aftermarket repairs set at $220.

How much is an iPhone battery replacement?

Manufacturers usually recommend user replace their batteries when the health of them fall under 80%. A quick way to restore your iPhone to it's original glory is by putting in a new battery. When using high grade parts, that alone can fix many issues.

For a battery replacement you would be looking at anywhere between $80-200, For example, a battery replacement for the iPhone 11 Pro Max is $110, for the iPhone XR it's $99, for the iPhone 6s Plus it's $89, and so on. As far as device repairs go, it's not that pricey if you gives you a new device feel.

How can I prevent damage in the future?

A key challenge in manufacturing unbreakable glasses was its ability to shatter when hit by something. A soft fabric increases the chances of scratching. Jobs recognised the shortcomings of plastic and supported the production of prototypes that eventually became gorilla glass.

Installing an efficient screen protector can help prevent scratches and can even even out impact if dropped. Its scratch-repelling properties and replacement costs are very low.

We're always going to suggest that phone cases are a must have. If you're spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on your iPhone, I think you should spend a small percentage to protect that investment and avoid a pricey iPhone repair. Cases can start from around $29.

iPhone Data Recovery Services

Our phones are extremely important and can provide valuable data. Your information can be gathered via your phone including your photos and videos of your friends and their lives, and more. It's advisable to get in a habit of doing backups of your iPhone or iPad to avoid losing valuable information. If something bad happens and you do NOT have backup to recover, do not panic. We have data recovery solutions you can contact us about.

However, sorry to say, this isn't a foolproof plan. The only way to absolutely guarantee that your data will be safe is if it's backed on the the cloud (you can use iCloud for ease) or on hard drives.

Do you need repairs on your iPhone?

If you have any physical damage on your iPhone, such as on your iPhone screen, I think you can decide if you need a repair or not. There are however hardware and software problems that aren't so obvious.

This could be a battery replacement, charge-port clean or even an earpiece replacement. We have all the important phone components and can repair most phones with just a short turnaround time.

iPhone Back Glass Replacement

Because smartphones' backs are often also fashioned out of glass the cracking and brittleness is a bit frustrating. The cracks may be small, but they spread quickly covering the whole phone. This crack is glass which has the potential of breaking itself if it's sharp and dangerous.

This problem can make it very frustrating for many users to find iPhone back-glass repair at an affordable rate in Australia.
