Apple repair Utrecht

Preparing your Apple device for a repair is neither necessary nor sometimes possible. However, it can slightly speed up the repair process if your device is fully up-to-date with the latest software version and the battery is sufficiently charged.

In addition, we recommend disabling “Find My” or putting your device in repair mode. Can’t do this yourself? In that case, make sure that your Apple ID login information is known so that our specialists can do this safely with you.

No matter how small, every repair carries some risk. Therefore, we always recommend backing up your important data in advance via iCloud or iTunes. This keeps your photos, contacts and files safe, even in the event of an unexpected malfunction, loss or theft.

Don’t have time to do this? No worries, our specialists at ThePhoneLab in Utrecht are also happy to help you without preparation.

The difference between original Apple parts and high-end alternatives is in origin, software recognition and price.

Original parts are supplied directly by Apple, are identical to factory parts and are automatically recognized by iOS – without notifications.

High-end alternatives are not Apple’s own, but have been carefully tested. They may have minor differences in brightness, color or fit and sometimes are not recognized by iOS as “original. This does not affect the operation of your device.

“Independent Repair Provider” (IRP) is an official Apple program that allows ThePhoneLab, to use genuine Apple parts and tools for repairs outside of Apple itself.

“No cure, no pay” literally means: no solution, no payment.

At ThePhoneLab, you only pay if we can actually repair your device. If we cannot solve the problem, we will not charge you for research or diagnosis. This way you always know where you stand, which is fair and transparent!

You only need to disable “Find My” if you choose an original Apple repair and if your device is not up-to-date with the latest software version.

With recent software versions, this is no longer necessary because Apple devices with the latest software can calibrate components in the settings on the device itself.

Our specialists will always indicate if your device requires turning off “Find My” before the repair starts.

At ThePhoneLab, we take great care with your privacy. You are always allowed to watch during the repair, so you can see exactly what happens to your Apple device.

We open or test your device only to the extent necessary to determine or verify the problem and only if you give us permission to do so! This is never mandatory.

A refurbished part is an original Apple part that has been previously used but thoroughly inspected, cleaned and partially repaired where necessary.

For example, with an iPhone screen, sometimes only the glass is replaced, while the screen itself remains original. This way, the part gets a second life, with the same quality and function as new.

Of course, at ThePhoneLab, you get a lifetime warranty on refurbished parts as well.

We are no longer repairing Apple Watches at this time.

We stopped doing this because we cannot reliably guarantee important features such as waterproofing after a repair. In addition, Apple Watch repairs are often costly and long-term quality is difficult to guarantee.

Therefore, for Apple Watches, we recommend contacting Apple.

We do not repair Apple AirPods or accessories such as the Magic Keyboard or Magic Mouse.

Unfortunately, these products are virtually unrepairable. They are compact and sealed in design, often glued and constructed of parts that cannot be replaced separately. Opening them usually results in damage, making reliable repair impossible.

Therefore, for these types of accessories, we recommend contacting Apple or looking into replacement.
