The iPhone has broken down - what to look for when choosing a service center?

The best place to start is to ask your friends. Often, a quarter of the repair companies' clients come to a specific referral center. Another 25% use the services again - they are a kind of "regular customers".

Pay attention to the reviews of a specific service center: on the official website, on the pages in in social networks... But don't forget that this can be filtered out too. the right way: If you only see positive reviews, you should consider the integrity of the company. It's good when comments from former clients don't consist of short sentences like: “Super fix. Nice guys!" Of course, there can be such ways of expressing emotions. But how true are they if they are repeated every 2-3 comments?

Also, reviews of service centers can be found on platforms such as iRecommend. It is convenient to choose a workshop through specialized units such as Pedant (http://pedant.ru): all the workshops are conveniently collected in one column there. But the lowest are not always a guarantee good quality, so do not chase the minimum.

What is the most common breakdown for gadgets and does this affect pricing?
The screen is the most vulnerable part of an iPhone. It is his repair that is the most frequent in practice and one of the most expensive. Only the motherboard is more expensive: for example, for the iPhone 6, its replacement will cost about 20 thousand rubles. But this is justified, since the board is the core of the phone and its existence is impossible without it.

In addition to the usual screen replacement, repair companies have a “re-sticking” service. It's a little over cheap option repair, but, in turn, more risky. In this case, there is no 100% guarantee of the result, and you need to understand that a used part is being put on your phone.

Nowadays "on-site" repairs are flourishing - why does its price correspond to the classic one? Where are the travel expenses of the master paid from?

Repair in large cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg has evolved, "exit" - already new standard... Basic breakdowns (screen, buttons, cables) can be repaired onsite - the repair will take about half an hour. Other, more complex work (soldering, electronic diagnostics, drowning recovery) is best done at a service center.

Apple does not make original parts - but what do they replace broken ones with? What to do if you want exactly original spare parts?

It is common knowledge that Apple and their subcontractors do not manufacture parts for sale. Therefore, it is impossible to legally purchase a screen that is on your iPhone or iPad. However, a broken screen (or any other part) can be replaced with a real and new one if removed from another original Apple product... Thus, we get the original "donor" part for our mobile phone or tablet.

Where can I get a donor part?

Option 1: buy new phone/ tablet and remove the necessary part from it. Resell the remains of the gadget. Then, for example, original glass for an iPhone 6S today it will cost about 15 thousand rubles. If you are offered cheaper, it's worth considering. Option 2: buy an "original" part from a repair company. Real parts are also produced, but not in the most legal way. According to rumors, they can be bought from those who work in the serial production of "apple" equipment in China (usually, repair services work according to a similar scheme). So, it turns out that the employees of the Apple plant produce the same components, but only at night, when the production is officially closed. Then these same people resell them to individual buyers.

Service centers offer copy and original parts - what's the difference? Tell us about the gradation of copies (AAA, AA, A) and what is their difference?

A copy is a product of the production of those companies that have learned to create pseudo-Apple components by "copying" technology. They, in turn, may differ in certain technical specifications... For example, the copy screen will have a different color rendering: more pink or blue, while the original will shine yellow. But, in turn, the same screens will be identical in resolution and other characteristics. The grades of the copies are determined in the same factories where they are produced by the suppliers. And I will say from experience that there is not always logic in this gradation.

Is it better to order original parts on AliExpress or e-Bay?

You can, but at your own peril and risk. In case the client comes to service center with his own "part", the repairman has the right to refuse to provide him with a guarantee, because he cannot guarantee its quality.

The apple logo on the train is easy enough to fake. Such fakes are not always of high quality and are visible to the naked eye. Buying "original" spare parts in online stores like AliExpress or e-Bay, you can hardly get any specific guarantees. The same applies to self repair on videos from YouTube - at your own peril and risk.

Apple announced that it will open an official service center in Russia - what will that change?

The repair market in itself Apple not needed. The entire company exists on a huge myth that it has created around its project. The myth that the iPhone itself is not just a phone, but a super object. To start repairing it means to destroy that very myth. Let it go backstage and reveal everything as it is.

According to the court (we are talking about the claim of Dmitry Petrov - Approx. ed.) Apple was ordered to build an official service center in Russia, but the question remains, how far will this go? It is not known whether the company will make a full-fledged system with all the main services or will create a department for a tick with high price, lengthy refurbishment and work in accordance with all conceivable internal standards. On the other hand, if Apple still opens its own service, then it is unlikely to be cheaper than those that exist now. The company will raise prices for its own repair services at the expense of the brand and the supplier's warranties.

Apple claims it does not supply original parts because they require a special factory to be installed, which goes through a difficult "calibration" process. How is everyone renovated?

The so-called "calibration" is nonsense. It can be seen in practice that a common person, which deals with the repair of iPhones, is able to fix basic breakdowns: replace glass, sticky buttons or a burnt-out battery. "Special factory" and secret methods of "calibration" - the same component of the myth about the exclusivity and a kind of "cosmic" origin of Apple technology.

How will this affect existing companies that are engaged in the repair of equipment today?

The repair "standards" set by Apple in such a case will indicate the exact price tag for third-party service centers. Thus, such companies will be able to establish their own, lower price, and approximately the same warranties for repairs and maintenance.

This will also increase competition, in which weaker and failing companies are unlikely to resist. But those that remain will provide services for enough decent level... And, perhaps, such an "unofficial" service will be much more effective due to several factors: repairs will take less time and, presumably, will be cheaper.

The huge popularity of Apple electronics is understandable. Not every computer performs this number of functions at the same time. Unfortunately, it is precisely this kind of performance “at the limit” that often leads to early breakdowns. At first, small defects, immediately invisible, gradually develop into serious malfunctions, which threaten with considerable monetary costs. Timely professional iPhone repair will save you from unnecessary expenses and loss of an expensive smartphone.

The loop itself is connected directly to the system iPhone board... As a result of the impact, the pusher may crack and then only it needs to be replaced. In addition, daily exposure to it leads to wear of the pusher and here, too, you cannot do without installing a new one. It is worth noting that changing it is not as easy as it seems. After all, an illiterate implementation of such a repair can damage the display or disrupt the lower cable, and then the cost of repair will increase from the original amount, for example, for the iPhone 4S, from 1,000 rubles to 2,200 or more, while the original operation of replacing the pusher itself will take about only 15-20 minutes. Therefore, it is still better to entrust this procedure to a specialized repair center.

For example, the charging connector allows you to sync and charge your device. It's prone to wear and tear as we charge our iPhone almost every day. The bottom train is a rather fragile part that can be easily damaged upon impact. In addition, moisture often gets in through the same charging connector and the oxidation process of the cells begins.

For example, internal elements are attached to a metal frame, so you should only trust specialists to replace it.

In other models touch glass forms a single whole with the display and changes, accordingly, only together.

Rising prices for Apple technology did twice topical issue repairing it. And where the service center is - there are a lot of myths and prejudices associated with both the process and its organization. Read on for a few popular myths, prejudices and urban legends about renovation that our friends at ModMac.

This story is familiar to everyone. They believed the sign, hurried and gave their device to incompetent repairmen and "foggy" offices. We received a device back, either with a defect, or not at all repaired - and besides, they gave a lot of money for some unknown reason. To choose the right service and do not run into deception, we invite you to get acquainted with the 7 most common myths about service centers and "repair" kiosks.

1. Most low prices

But economically ...

Myth: Low prices are good! There is no point in overpaying for work. There is no difference in the master and spare parts, which means that where it is cheaper, there you have to go.

Reality Low prices have never been a good indicator of service center performance. If the prices are below average, then we can assume that the workshop is saving on something. For rent? Probably not. An engineer? In this case, there is a suspicion of poor-quality repairs. On hardware? Maybe, since low-quality equipment is quite common, and it is difficult for the client to understand that a lot depends on him. On spare parts? Here you can judge for yourself. Cheap spare parts are not always of high quality.

Advice: A beautiful site and office is a merit of the programmers and management, but not an indicator of the skills of engineers and the quality of components. Expensive equipment, qualified staff and time-tested suppliers of spare parts are a real indicator. But for most clients, this remains in the background, since they do not see and do not know the entire repair process.

In order not to be mistaken, read reviews of the most discussed service centers (and not on their website, but in other places), listen to the advice of friends who have visited a particular workshop, and communicate with engineers - they will never refuse you to clarify the essence Problems. Before heading to an unfamiliar service center, call the full cost of repairing your device. Marketing moves - the site describes the cost of only repairs, and the price of the spare part will be announced to you after the work performed - can be an indicator of not only the center's dishonesty, but the poor quality of the repair.

2. We only have original components

Myth: Original spare parts ...
-… are simply necessary! You only need to put them.
-… exist only in new iPhone! Only "china" is installed in service centers.

Reality: There is no dispute that it is necessary to put only the "original"! Just try to find it first. Genuine Apple parts are usually available from workshops, but limited quantity... They are divided into two groups: "factory original" and "original from device". Factory spare parts are supplied only by trusted suppliers, and their cost is high, in contrast to "Chinese" parts of any grade of quality - A, A +, AAA, etc. Mostly factory parts are used when replacing the display, back cover, housing, battery and camera module.

The second myth is partly true. After all, almost everything we use is made in China. And accessories for Apple are no exception. It is important to know that "China" is different. In addition to the "waste", there is good businesses producing cables, microphones, speakers, power connectors. Their products are no worse than the ones installed in your device. A good service center can contact the very best vendors available. And then clients will not be offended.

Advice: Original spare parts are installed only in those service centers where they value their reputation .. We, in turn, if the client is not ready to pay for original spare parts, we try to install the most tested components and let us compare spare parts of different quality so that the client can be sure of what he is paying money for.

3. Deceptive diagnostics. We have discovered a new defect ...

Myth: in the service center bred during the diagnosis.

Reality: Maybe they will divorce :) It depends on which service center you contact. But this should not be reflected in the process itself. And even more so to scare away. Diagnostics is an integral part of the process necessary to achieve positive result when repairing. To fix the problem professionally, first you need to find out what caused it: find out the background, check the device on various equipment.

If the client is not ready to wait and wants to pick up the device faster, he himself risks getting poor quality repair... Having read various tips on the Internet, a person may not imagine that his problem may lie in something else. So that such a situation is excluded, and diagnostics are carried out. Another thing is that small service centers for the purpose of earning money can "weave" additional problems with a device or simply perform an expensive procedure and assure you that it is necessary.

Advice: The work on diagnostics of the device is based on the client's confidence in the service center, to which he contacted. We try to explain the essence of the problem to a person in an accessible and competent manner, set an approximate time frame for the work and announce the cost. If you have a serious problem with your phone, we strongly do not recommend that you go to a little-known workshop.

4. Stealing original parts from the phone

Myth: In the service, original spare parts are removed from the phones and fake ones are installed.

Reality: Unfortunately, this procedure really practiced. Fortunately, this only happens in those workshops where the purchase is very difficult. quality products and there is a need to replenish the stock of original parts. A large and qualified service center will not commit such a crime, since this procedure, on their scale, is devoid of benefit. A self-respecting service has all the necessary spare parts in stock of various quality- both original and good copies.

Advice: V in this case everything again depends on the reputation of the service center. For example, taking a device that has been in another service for repair, we immediately notify the client about visible replacements components and missing parts, in order to put an end to the poor-quality work of past masters.

5. We do it faster than anyone *

Myth: The faster the better! I myself will change the glass in half an hour, following the video on YouTube. The master should do it much faster!

Reality: Remember the proverb? "If you hurry, you will make people laugh." Electronics repair has a lot in common with a jeweler's life. This delicate work requiring professional approach and focus. The time it takes to complete the work depends on the accuracy of the craftsman, cleanliness, experience, a thorough check after assembly, and so on.

It is always possible to repair your iPhone quickly, but not desirable. Exists human factor because we are not robots at Foxconn. When it comes to complex work, like soldering trace elements, then such work is done wisely and requires not only patience and perseverance. This is partly why many SCs refuse to do serious work. Time spent on them goes against philosophy quick earnings and "soon replacement displays". And when they receive a device where soldering is indispensable, such centers quietly redirect the device into the hands of more qualified craftsmen and workshops. And it takes a lot of time.

Advice: Wait patiently for the end of the work of the service center. The better one or another spare part is installed for you, the less you will spend nerves and money on correcting blots. If the device is handed over with a breakdown, its owner is told adequate repair times based on the experience of thousands of other similar operations. But do not forget about the workload of the masters, this really happens.

6. Ordering spare parts

Myth: If you said that you have to wait for a spare part for two weeks, they lie, they just drag out the deadlines and want more money. I will go to the others.

Reality: From time to time, any service center needs to order rare or expensive parts. There is no point in stocking up on a few spare motherboards from every Mac model in existence. Unlike cables and other "little things", motherboards are probably the only spare part in Apple technology that the Chinese cannot yet "repeat" on other equipment. Accordingly, all replacement motherboards are “removed” from donor devices.

Buy new board pretty tricky. All deliveries from China go through border control, and quite strong. Often the speed from delivery to receipt is delayed by customs, and not by the supplier or service. If it seems to you that they are still trying to deceive you or are simply lazy, you can type in another SC and ask if they have the necessary spare part in stock. This is better than refusing after diagnostics and the announcement of the deadline: not only do you substitute the SC, which could already order the necessary spare part for you, but you also risk waiting exactly the same amount of time elsewhere.

Advice: Before going to the service center, we recommend by phone to clarify whether the necessary spare part is available, find out the quality of the components, the timing and the full cost of the work, and only after that make a decision on whether to give the device to this service.

7. Savings on accessories

Myth: There is no point in overpaying for the original Lightning cable and other accessories from Apple. I bought a lace in the transition for 300 rubles - zero differences from the present.

Reality: The cheaper the cable, the less your device will serve you. Cheap charging device and cords are one of the main causes of premature iPhone breakdowns, iPad and mobile gadgets generally. Many people think that overpaying for accessories is a thankless task, but at the same time they use a smartphone with a premium markup. Funny and sad at the same time. Bought an iPhone for $ 1,000 - Get both a quality USB cable and original block nutrition.

"Overpaying" for original accessories includes a multiple reduction in the risk of getting a dead device out of your pocket once. Replacing a burnt-out power chip is a tricky process, sometimes requiring a huge amount of money to purchase a solid motherboard. Moral - do not spare a penny so as not to pay tens of thousands.
