Why does Apple restrict third-party repairs? What to do if the iPhone is broken?

According to statistics, according to China's mobile phone market, in 2020, about 110 Chinese Apple users will use Apple for every 1,000 people. In other words, in 2020, the proportion of Apple mobile phone users in the domestic market will remain at about 11%.

If we break the iPhone’s screen, depending on the model, Apple’s official replacement screen will cost as little as 999RMB and as much as 2559RMB; if we replace the battery, it will be as little as 359RMB and as much as 519RMB. However, third-party screens often only require a few hundred, and batteries are much cheaper than Apple's official, so for a long time, third-party repairs have become the choice of many Apple users.

Apple keenly sensed the crisis, so it gradually tightened its maintenance policy, hoping to make its high-priced maintenance an indispensable choice for Apple users. As a result, Apple emerged as its brand-new solution to reduce repair permissions, and then bundled the accessories with each other, making it difficult for third-party repairers to start.

Take iPhone 8 as an example. If you don’t use the original screen, you will not be able to use the original color display. If you replace the non-original battery, you will not be able to view the battery health functions and so on.

Why restrict third parties? Apple officially says it's safe.

The FACE ID module and chip on the iPhone are bound. If you use unauthorized third-party accessories, the ID will be unavailable. Moreover, the quality of third-party accessories cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, it is possible that the mobile phone will not be able to touch, the battery life will fall, and the heat will be severe after the repair. Security, so third parties should be restricted.

Then why are more people willing to choose a third party? Apple's replacement of screens, batteries, etc., is often to replace a complete set of modules, not just repairing damaged parts, resulting in high repair costs. Therefore, third-party repairs are often more competitive in price.

We may encounter various problems when we use mobile phones every day, such as water entering, not turning on, repeated restarting, etc. It is even more difficult for the official to replace trivial small parts, so professional third-party maintenance has become people's choice.

So where should I go for cell phone repair? Official or third party?

The answer is yes! You can even purchase the required repair parts on ORIWHIZ and replace them at home. This depends more on your financial ability and practical ability.

There is no big problem after replacing the current third-party accessories. For example, the original color of the screen is not much different from the original. As for other problems, as long as the third party we are looking for is professional, your phone can be repaired.
