5 questions to ask any repair shop
- What's the total price, before you start? You should get a full quote first, not a surprise at pickup.
- Which screen am I getting? There's usually a higher-grade OLED and a lower-cost option. The cheap one can look dimmer and use more battery. See OEM vs aftermarket screens.
- Is there a warranty, and on what? Ask if it covers parts and labour. Ours does.
- Will my iPhone show an "unknown part" message? Newer iPhones may show a Parts and Service History notice after a non-Apple screen or battery. The phone still works. A good shop tells you before the repair. See what the unknown part message means.
- Can I wait for it? Most iPhone screens take 30 to 60 minutes and batteries take 30 to 45 minutes. If a shop needs your phone for days, ask why.
Cheapest isn't always cheapest
A low price usually means the lower-grade screen. That can be the right choice for an older phone you plan to replace soon. For a phone you'll keep for years, the better screen is often worth it.
If the repair costs more than half of what the phone is worth, it may be time to replace it. See repair or replace.

Questions
Where can I get my iPhone fixed in Port Hope?
Port Hope has a few local repair shops. Our Cobourg store at Northumberland Mall is a short drive east and fixes most iPhone screens and batteries while you wait.
How long does an iPhone screen repair take?
Usually 30 to 60 minutes once we start. Book ahead so your part is ready.
Do I need to back up my iPhone first?
We don't erase your phone, but backing up first is always smart. It takes a few minutes in iCloud.
Will Apple fix my iPhone for free?
Only if it's a defect covered by Apple's warranty. Drops and cracked screens aren't covered unless you have AppleCare+, which still charges a service fee.
Is a cracked iPhone screen worth fixing?
Usually yes if the phone still gets iOS updates. A crack lets in moisture and tends to spread, so it's cheaper to fix it early.
