Yes, alot can go wrong during repairs and in most cases devices will need to be recalibrated once new parts have been installed, this may require restoring the device to its default factory settings which results in data loss. Always remember to do a backup (better safe than sorry). The device can be replaced if damaged but your data can not be replaced if lost, so be safe. Always do a backup as a good practice.

In simple terms storage upgrade means expanding the storage on your device by replacing the storage chip (called Nand).By replacing this chip with the one that  has a higher capacity, we increase the storage capacity on your device.

Storage upgrade is different from buying iCloud storage in a sense that you pay for iCloud storage every month (it's a subscription) while with storage upgrade you only do it once and you can enjoy using your device with heiger capacity.

If done by a personel who is not properly trained, the precedure might be risky. However  seasoned and experienced technicians may perform nand swaps with ease.

We do storage upgrade on iPhones,iPads and MacBooks. Click here to view our storage upgrade prices

iPhone screens can be divided int 5 groups.

1. Original OEM screen....................... These are original Apple displays.
2. Original OEM Refurbished............................ These are original Apple desplays which have undergone refurbishing. The outer glasss might have been replaced by a third pary glass however the display is still the original one.
3. Soft Oled.........................................................These are OEM screens that are very close to the original in archtecture,  functionality and brightness. Some companies sell these as originals. As the name suggests, these have very low defective rate and are reliable.
4. Hard Oled....................................................... Hard Oled screens are not as reliable as soft Oled, however they are better than TFT and Incell.
5. Incell............................................................... Incell screens are assembles by third party companies and have OCA layers inside  and are have the LCD archtecture. Although there are reliable malnufactures of original incell screens in China, the market in South Africa is flooded with cheap and poor quality incell screens. The well known signsture of these cheap copy incell screens is that they drain battery faster, have a very poor resolution amd are thicker campared to other screens
6. TFT............................................................... TFT  screens are similar to incell, however original  incell screens in their genuine  form are far better than TFT.

Yes it is possible for a dvice to be accidentally damaged by a technician during repair, let's be real, mistakes are made by anyone and if any technician claims they have never damaged a device in their repair career, they are obviously lying to you.

When we accidentally damage a device during repair, we quickly alert the client and discuss the way forward. We have  experienced technicians so these cases are rare at Apple Repair South Africa.
