A breakdown of your favorite smartphone always causes stress, because “without a phone, like without hands.” Therefore, every iPhone owner strives to repair it as soon as possible. It is best to contact a professional service center that uses only proven spare parts and provides a guarantee. Otherwise, repairing the gadget can become a long quest, and the result may be unsatisfactory. In this article Rudservice service specialists will give you useful tips on how to check your iPhone after repair to make sure it is working properly.
Methods for checking the display for originality after repair
One of the most common iPhone breakdowns is screen damage. It often breaks, stops turning on, artifacts may appear on the image, etc. In such cases, an iPhone display replacement in Kyiv is required. In this case, you can choose whether to install the original component (more expensive) or a copy (cheaper). Of course, the best choice is a genuine display, which provides better image quality, brightness, contrast, and also supports the True Tone function. However, in some cases, you can choose a high-quality copy that is almost as good as the original. For example, our Rudservice service center offers several options that differ in price.
When you contact us, you are guaranteed to receive the ordered part. However, with other workshops, problems may arise. Let's say you ordered a replacement for the original screen module, but how can you check its authenticity? It's simple:
- Open Settings on your iPhone and go to General.
- Select "Information" and find the line "Display".
- If it says "Genuine Apple Part" then everything is OK, you got what you wanted.
- If it says “Unknown part”, this is a sign that a non-original display has been installed, and you should ask the experts.
There is nothing wrong with installing a non-original display, especially if it is cheaper. The main thing is to make a conscious choice and not become a victim of fraud. More detailed information about replacing the screen on the iPhone can be found on our website.
Checking the functionality of the display sensor
Whenever you interfere with the device, it is recommended to check the functionality of the touch screen. This can be done as follows:
- Touch the entire surface of the display one by one and make sure that it responds to your touch.
- Swipe the screen to open Control Center.
- Press and hold any application icon and try to move it around the screen.
- Open the settings menu and click on various items and buttons, they should open quickly and respond correctly to your actions.
Checking the rear and front cameras
To test the camera, simply open it and take a few photos, as well as record a video. Check the focus (aiming at a specific object) and whether the sound works while recording. In the case of the front camera, be sure to check the operation of Face ID, it should correctly read the face and unlock the iPhone.
Checking microphones and speakers
iPhones have multiple speakers and microphones. To check each part, follow these steps:
- Turn on the music on your smartphone (bottom speaker). The sound should be clear, without extraneous noise, "hoarseness", hissing, etc.
- Make a call to a friend or family member (earpiece). Make sure you can hear them well, and they should also hear you well (talk microphone).
- Open the voice recorder and make a short audio recording. Listen to it to check the operation of the main microphone.
- Launch the rear camera and shoot a video with sound (camera microphone). Check the sound quality.
Testing the buttons
When cleaning or replacing buttons, you need to check their operation. Press each one in turn to make sure that they function normally and there is no creaking, crunching, or sticking.
Checking the charging port
Connect a working charger and cable to your iPhone and make sure it charges. If necessary, you can connect your smartphone to a computer (such as a MacBook) to check how the device is detected and paired.
Checking Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Connect to an available Wi-Fi hotspot and check the stability of the connection. To check Bluetooth, connect a compatible device, such as AirPods.
Checking the battery
Go to Settings - Battery - Battery health & charging and make sure the maximum capacity is 100%. Check if the battery maintains normal performance.
The difference between a new smartphone and a refurbished one
If you're planning to buy an iPhone but aren't sure whether it's new or refurbished, here are some tips to check:
- Manufacturer Refurbished: The phone has been officially refurbished at the factory. The box usually has an “F” (refurbished iPhone) or “N” (warranty-replaced phone) before the model name.
- Refurbished Seller: iPhone refurbished by a local seller. Make sure it matches the model, year of manufacture and all modules are in working order.
- "Home-made refurbished" iPhone: a smartphone that was "assembled" in a local workshop. Check the device by serial number on the Rudservice website, check the model and serial number on the case and in the settings, inspect the case and screen for scratches, abrasions and other defects.
