New iPhones will break much more often

- On Apple presentations announced loudly: “iPhone 8 and X will be made of more durable glass!” – Alexander Seregin, head of the service center “Fixing Apples”, smiles. – I immediately remembered a joke. The Martians caught the Russian, gave him two titanium balls and locked him in an empty room. He lost one and broke the second. We found, in general, something to frighten - durable glass!

According to the experience of service centers, Apple devices last about two to three years. Then problems with the battery begin, the smartphone begins to slow down, and this is if it did not get into any trouble.

The iPhone 8 and especially the iPhone X predict a difficult fate for the “fours.”

Rear iPhone panel 4 and iPhone 4s were glass and often broke. Another thing is that it will be more difficult to repair new models, Alexander Seregin is sure:

Changing the [display] on the “four” was easy: unscrew two bolts and the cover flew off. You'll have to tinker with the iPhone X: it has been assigned a degree of protection IP67 in accordance with the international standard IEC 60529. You can't get by with bolts: the cover will probably be glued around the perimeter. Replacing it will not be cheap. Most likely, an “ordinary screwdriver” - a service center engineer - will not be able to cope with this.

The rear glass will almost certainly be mounted and glued to the body, Dmitry Kruzhalin, Maclab CEO, confirms the fears:

– Replacement of the rear window will be the most difficult. You will have to completely disassemble the iPhone: disconnect all the components that are attached to the back panel, including the motherboard.

Replacing the iPhone X display will cost 45 thousand rubles

But the price for repairs in the first couple of months will be crazy. The most common failure of smartphones is broken screen. Earlier Samsung smartphones were more expensive than iPhones to repair just because of the display. Now Apple will make them using OLED Multi Touch technology.

In the first couple of months after the start of sales, replacing the screen on iPhone 7 and 7+ cost 30 and 35 thousand rubles, respectively. Bring to your senses iPhone display X will initially cost about 45 thousand.

Instead of repairing, you can buy new iPhone 7.

Even official prices repairs from Apple are surprising. For repairs iPhone screen 8 Plus will have to pay 169 dollars, about 10 thousand in rubles. Restore back panel– 399 dollars, almost 24 thousand rubles!

“The price of replacing the display on the iPhone X [in Russia] will be one of the highest among flagships, if not the highest,” says Mikhail Bogoutdinov, manager of the iSupport workshop. – But the camera, battery, speakers and other components are in the middle price segment.

The cosmic sums are explained not only by the premium wrapper of the iPhones. It mainly affects the repair of the hull.

Apple is making life difficult for service centers. Makes devices more sophisticated and stuffed with secrets.

– Repairing motherboards [in iPhones] is more difficult than in any other smartphone. Apple often uses chips that are not used anywhere else, and keeps the technical documentation for them secret, says Alexander Seregin.

Additional complexity is the details. Apple does not make or sell parts. Therefore, for complex repairs, for the same replacement motherboard, the service has to buy a “donor” device, disassemble and use its parts. It turns out good, but very expensive.

iPhone X spare parts are already available in China, but they are still expensive

For simple operations, parts are imported from China. However, at first there will be few of them. The production of spare parts has not yet been established, so they will remove them from the same “donors” and resell them. Given the demand and delivery time, the cost of the parts will be enormous. Suppliers, however, are already reporting that spare parts for the iPhone X have appeared on the Chinese market.

The Chinese will get the hang of making full-fledged replicas of the new iPhones in six months.

– Every year they bring more and more people to us Chinese fakes, says Dmitry Kruzhalin. – Outwardly they are very similar to the original ones, but you can tell: wow, completely different components, seals, hieroglyphs all around, and they are not of the same quality as Apple’s. To make the simplest parts, like a case or a display, [the Chinese] need two months. The phone will take three times longer.

While China is rolling out another production, the risk increases to an ordinary person run into a particularly cunning service that will take your phone for repair and at the same time deprive you of important organs. Most often, good parts are exchanged not even for old ones, but for dubious copies.

– Old original spare part is always better than a new copy of any quality,” confirms Alexander Seregin. – We don’t take buttons or batteries. Moreover, the price of copy parts usually does not exceed 300-500 rubles, the original ones are much more expensive.

The most vulnerable point of the new iPhones is the camera with Face ID function

“We expect an influx of customers with iPhone X no earlier than the spring of next year,” estimates Egor Odinokov, head of the Total Apple center. – Prices will drop a little, there will be more owners. iPhones will begin to crash and break en masse. For now there is only one way out - use covers. This is not a panacea, nor is it safety glass, but in most cases it saves.

“Equipment,” however, will only protect the iPhone from external damage. Falls are contraindicated for the iPhone 8 and iPhone X due to one of the main features – Face ID. It will replace the finger unlock, Touch ID, which was tied to the Home button.

If it broke, the chip connected to the factory board almost certainly failed. Security requirements for the payment system Apple Pay prohibited from interfering with the fingerprint function. The button could be repaired, but Touch ID could not be restored.

There may be similar problems with face unlocking. If the camera fails, it’s a big deal.

– If the phone is dropped, there are usually more problems with the front camera cable than with the Home button. The front camera on the new iPhones will be more functional, which means that technically it will be much more complex than its predecessors. Repair, accordingly, will be more difficult. Well, it’s more expensive,” Alexey Vakhrushev from the FixItEasy workshop shrugs.

Another unobvious vulnerability is water. Any service center will tell you how they swam with an iPhone in a pool at a corporate party, dipped it in a puddle, an aquarium, a toilet, and poured drinks from Aperol to apple juice. The new iPhones are rated IP67, but that doesn't mean anything.

“The IP67 standard establishes that there is protection against splashes and short-term immersion in water,” explains Egor Odinokov. – In reality, they often bring us to Repair iPhone 7, filled with something, and they have the same IP67 standard. Well, that’s it, the phone took a bath and doesn’t work. So don't believe that the new iPhones are waterproof.

This is eloquently written about on the Apple website about the iPhone 8: “Damage resulting from contact with liquid is not covered by the warranty.”

The “all glass” feature of the iPhone X should have made you happy service centers. More glass means more scratches, cracks and dashed hopes of saving money on repairs. However, repair specialists are confident that after iPhone release X the accessory sellers rejoiced. Having spent about 80 thousand rubles on a phone (and before the release in Russia on the “gray” market - two to three times more), the owner will purchase covers, protective glass, bumpers and everything else.
