So I guess the real question now is: Can Apple fix an iPhone that has been tampered with?
The third party teardown revealed a step that wouldn’t necessarily be handled by Apple Retail, however it did reveal an interesting quirk about some iPhone repair policies – namely the fact you never admit fault — allegedly so as to not get blamed for breaking your phone (even if there are more surface-level indicators of mishap)并且苹果通常不会修理其他第三方人员干过手或打开的手机。 The specific individual case may except if there are some unusual circumstances involved :
Apple’s Tampered Devcie Policy
Moreover, Apple can deny service altogether on devices that have been altered in unauthorized ways. Some of the instances in which an iPhone can get busted include: • Devices that have been opened by non-Apple technicians • Phones that had third-party replacement parts inside them, or some missing and/or damaged components• iPhones with a clear sign of intentional damage. These cannot be serviced for free as unauthorized repairs could affect your device’s integrity, security and performance. If repairing outside the Authorized Service network, Apple cannot promise repair quality or safety.
Potential Exceptions
Even then, Apple could still refuse to service the tampered device based on some other technical issue with its implementation or if certain parts were damaged in the process Most of these guidelines are discretionary upon a local store manager and they do not apply universally. If so, Apple will usually deny service and may void the warranty on tampered devices.
Options for Tampered iPhones
Here are some of your options: • Send the device in to a third-party shop for repair (at your own risk) • Try fixing it yourself with online guides and replacement parts • Trade it in or sell as junk for money back on an upgrade to a new iPhone
In the end, there is one surefire way to make certain that you’ll get an Apple serviced iPhone if need be: don’t have it repaired or do surgery on your own. Take it to only Apple Authorized Service Providers for repair in warranty period.
