Apple-Certified iPhone Repair
AppleCare offers a few Apple-certified methods of getting your iPhone hardware repaired and you have to take it into an authorized location:
Apple Store Repairs
Apple Store — Eligible customers can access on-site service for their device by a trained technician using genuine Apple parts. Screen and battery replacements are some of the more common issues that can generally be done same-day.
Apple Authorized Service Provider
Apple will allow the third-party repair shops to do repairs under its “Authorized Service Provider” program, which means using only qualified techniques and parts on any fix-it jobs. These have access to original parts and apple repair resources.
Mail-In Repair Service
You can send your iPhone to an Apple Repair Center for Service. This does take more time, but is a great option for those who don’t live near an Apple Store or authorized provider.
Every Apple-certified repair is also backed by free and battery replacement for the life of your device. Official parts and procedures provide a guarantee that you will have the same functionality, security features as well as ensuring your warranty is still active.
