Are There Different Choices for iPhone Repair?

By Myesha Wales


The iPhone may be at the top of the smart phone industry, but it is pretty much just as fragile as the rest of its competition. Whether it is water damage or a broken screen, if something happens to your iPhone you will have to make a decision: purchase a new one or get it repaired. There may be, however, many instances where you think you have to replace the device, when you could really just have it repaired and save a lot of money. When it comes to having your iPhone repaired, there are different options available to you.

Most people will have a one year warranty on their iPhone if it was purchased new. As long as any damage to your iPhone occurs within that year, you should not have to pay for any repairs. Be sure to keep accurate account of when your device was purchased and when your warranty deadline is up, protecting yourself from unnecessary frustration. Also, make sure you understand the terms of your warranty, to make sure that the specific kind of damage you are experiencing will be covered under the warranty.

Customer service representatives can be contacted online, on the phone, and in person at the store where you purchased your iPhone. Again, as long as you are within the bounds of the warranty, you will be able to send your iPhone in for repairs without having to pay for shipping costs. In many situations, the manufacturer may decide it is better to simply send you a replacement iPhone, rather than go through the lengths of fixing the damage.

Many people might have the option of having their iPhone repairs serviced through their wireless service provider. As either an extension or complement to the manufacturer warranty, many wireless providers offer their own warranty to help protect your device. As in all things, you will have to do your research to make sure that your network's warranty is sufficient, and that is if it offers one in the first place.

If you have gone past your warranty deadline, you still will be able to repair your phone, but it will have to be at a third party repair shop of some kind. To address the service needs of the growing number of iPhone owners, many repair centers have come to the surface to compete with the manufacturers and wireless providers. Definitely do your research over the internet, as you may discover it is more time efficient and cost effective to mail your iPhone to a more distant repair shop, rather than drive to the closest one to you.

When it comes to warranties and repairs for your iPhone, it is always best to arm yourself with as much knowledge and information as possible. Knowing fully what options you have before you will always be the best measure taken to be responsible with your expenses.
