This is how long iPhone repairs should take: Apple generally informs customers that sending an iPhone to an Apple Repair Center may take 6-8 days. After you factor in shipping back and forth, the time for inspection, and then actual repair process, you are already weeks to months away (CANbusMaster took 13 weeks from us sending it off to us getting it back).
There are, however, a number of factors that can effect the length.
In-Store vs. Send-In Repairs
For those seeking an in-person repair, most Apple Stores are able to perform same-day repairs and possibly repairs within the hour if they have parts available. Especially for basic problems such as a screen change, or a battery service. In the case that a part must be ordered, it could take a little more time but in general customers keep their devices while awaiting the parts.
On the other hand, sending a device back for repair can have longer lead times due to shipping etc. The device has to be sent into a repair facility to have it checked over and fixed. Apple says this process typically takes 6-8 days, but it might take longer due to volume or supply chain challenges.
Conclusion: Warranty and AppleCare+
In fact, the kind of warranty may determine to what extent repairs are required and effect when they can be completed. Express Replacement Service: Some iPhone repairs may be eligible for Express Replacement Service; we go ahead and send you a replacement device, as soon as possible.
So, to sum up, Apple says send-in repairs take 6-8 days but there are a lot of things that can affect this timeline. However, customers are advised to choose between in-store or send-in facilities keeping urgency and practicality as priority.iPhone repair (ad)
