Repair your iPhone or have it repaired ?

Existential question that arises when an unfortunate accident occurs … Should I repair my smartphone myself or call a professional ? It is already essential to have the reflex to repair your iPhone instead of wanting to buy a new one. Because it is a gesture for the planet ! How to go about it ? Will I be up ? Do I have the necessary knowledge ? To whom I can entrust my iPhone repair ? I think so I am ?

The advantages of repairing your iphone yourself

1- The economy : Undeniably, when you embark on iPhone repair as a.e tall.e, it is much cheaper than using a pro ! Since there is no workforce to pay, this represents an important economy: it is two to three times cheaper !

2- Independence : No need for someone else to bring their iPhone back to life. And especially not Apple ! No need to wait for weeks to have an appointment at the Genius Bar. You just have to take stock of what you need to know before you get into the phone repair !

3- Security : And yeah, you keep your precious iPhone near you throughout the operation ! No one can have access to your data. And you will not have to wait impatiently his return. Practical if you are a bit paranoid.

4- Pride : Repair your iPhone everything.e alone.e, this is a challenge that we would have launched ! If Apple and the other manufacturers have conveyed the myth of impossible repair, this is false ! And the proof is with platforms like Sosav which gives you all the advice necessary to take action with iPhone parts and free tutorials.

5- Because you can go (#expressionringe) to everyone.

The risks ? No iPhone repair is without risk. When you are not used to repairing phones, it can happen a bad gesture. These are the risks of the profession but it is (almost) always possible to remedy it. At worst, iPhone repairers are there to get you out of this bad pass if necessary.

The advantages of having your iPhone repaired

1- Ease : You have nothing to do except contact the repairer iPhone and program an appointment with him.She.

2- Warranty : Even if the 2 -year manufacturer’s warranty is exceeded, all iPhone repairs are guaranteed. Are you sure.e to have an iPhone again functional after the intervention.

3- The rapidity : Except in periods of strong crowds or in Apple Store, you can program an intervention quickly. No need to wait for the reception of the part to change, the pro has everything. Especially for iPhone repairs, the most common troubleshooting for pros !

4- The quality : By definition, the.The iPhone repair pro promises an impeccable service. Used to.e to the replacement of screen or battery, it.She will refurbish your iPhone in no time.

5- Because there are our Captain Repair present everywhere in France and in neighboring countries !

The risks ? Care periods vary depending on repairers. Also, costs can be added to the price of the initial quote depending on the diagnosis when opening the iPhone. In this case, it’s up to you to accept or not additional euros, as with a mechanic ��

Whatever your final choice, there is a common point in iPhone repair, it is Rebellion against planned obsolescence ! You do not fall into the compulsive purchase trap and “all-I”. Given the price of the iPhone, it is better to repair them. But also because they are able to hold much more than 2 years. The iPhone 5S runs well under the latest version of iOS 11, 5 years after its release !

At Sosav, we just want us to realize the respect for the environment by avoiding unnecessary e -chets. Repairing instead of throwing is our will ��

[…] No more excuse for not changing this broken screen !! We had already exposed the arguments for and against home repair or by a pro, it’s up to you […]

How can I know if it’s my window or my front camera that is damaged ? Because my phonne fell the screen is cracked .

Good morning,
The front camera has no window because it is directly the screen. If it is cracked, you must replace the full screen block. On the other hand, if the front camera is no longer activated, remains black when the app is opened or displays an error message, then it will only have to be changed.
Sincerely,
Sandra
