iPhone back cover replacement

A cracked back does more than spoil the look of your iPhone: moisture and dirt get in and the shards cut your hand. At Blue Apple in Amsterdam Zuid we replace the back cover for a price you know before we start.

Why a back cover is more work than it looks

From outside it looks like a sheet of glass; inside it is the load-bearing layer of the device. On glass backs the panel is bonded to the frame with strong adhesive and has to be released piece by piece with heat and controlled pressure, without touching the antennas and the wireless charging coil. Those often sit right against it and are carried over to the new back. On a laptop it is the bottom case or display housing: screws rather than glue, but with cables underneath. One thing we say up front: a device that has been opened is never sealed quite as well as it was from the factory.

What iOS reports after a repair

Apple pairs parts to the device, and you notice that after a repair. Fit a screen or battery that is not paired to that iPhone's serial number and iOS adds a notice about it in settings — with a battery, the battery health reading disappears as well. The phone works completely, but that notice comes with it, and it is our job to say so beforehand rather than after. Parts that are not attached to the screen itself we always transfer: the Face ID sensor stays your own sensor, so Face ID keeps working after a screen replacement. With a genuine Apple screen, True Tone stays available too.
