In life there are various force majeure circumstances, which often end disastrously for mobile technology. New iPhone 6 plus sometimes “dies” for various reasons.

Most often, smartphones fail due to being drowned. Water entering the charging channels and the headphone socket, slots for speakers and microphone, which are not protected from moisture, then enters the case, causing a short circuit.

Usually, contacts burn out, and less often, the matrix peels off and pixels “burn out.” Sometimes water gets into the SIM card compartment. The contacts of the SIM card are covered with a layer of oxidation, which damages the phone.

The most fatal failure from the point of view of data preservation is “wet” failure – water getting into the battery compartment and/or instead of fastening flash memory. The first leads to a short circuit, the second is the loss of everything that was not backed up through data exchange with iCloud.

The second most common cause of failure of these devices is breakdowns associated with excessive external force on the case (phone drops, impacts, etc.).

Damage is caused in a variety of ways: from chips of the screen, which bring with them a guarantee of the appearance of a “cobweb” on it, to unintended bends of the case, making comfortable use device is impossible.

These, like many others similar cases make owners sad if they happen. It’s especially offensive to those who bought it new iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus, since the price tag for “top” Apple equipment in official stores is approximately 60 thousand Russian rubles.

There are no obvious exits iPhone owners not much: contact official center expensive, because the guarantee does not cover damage to equipment caused by the owner; non-officials - dangerous, because It will be difficult to demand anything from them in court if your iPhone is scattered into parts all over the world.

Not many people know that in this situation you can solve your problem by going to special points and exchanging your iPhone 8 Plus - iPhone X for a new one (there are several such points in Moscow).

Exchange - best way out from the situation with a broken gadget in case of expiration of the warranty or its termination due to damage incurred.

Pros of exchange

This move has many advantages, here are some of them:

  • The exchange involves receiving a smartphone whose characteristics are similar to those of the broken one (if you bring your iPhone 8 Plus with 256 GB of memory for exchange, then you will not be given, for example, an iPhone 6S or any other except the same iPhone 8 Plus, only in good working order) ;
  • An exchange with a surcharge will cost the user less than buying a new phone (for example, an iPhone 8 Plus, which costs about 60 thousand in official store, when visiting the “exchanger” it will cost about half its cost). They especially feel it iPhone users 8 Plus with a large amount of memory “on board” (128/256 GB);
  • Exchange made in service center will entitle you to receive warranty repair within three months from the date of receipt of the phone;
  • Exchange is safer than the services of unauthorized workshops that repair equipment illegally;
  • An exchange with a surcharge as a result for the consumer is receiving a completely new phone to replace the old one.

Exchange rules

If you decide to exchange your phone. The first and most important rule is that the phone must be unlinked from icloud. Refurbished devices are also allowed (replacement of screen, cables, etc.). When checking at an exchange point, traces of unauthorized soldering, replacement, etc. may be found on the motherboard and other parts of the device, which will increase the cost of exchanging this device.

They will also check the serial numbers on your phone. motherboard and the device itself - they must match and be easy to read for the exchange to be successful.

However, it is possible to change the glass and display.

Some items do not allow exchange if the damage to your phone is critical and the latter cannot be repaired.

Many of these clauses require users to unlink their device from the iCloud service. There is no need to worry, this is just a measure to suppress attempts to exchange stolen equipment for “clean” ones.

If the exchange offices turn you away, then there are two options left, mentioned at the very beginning of the article.

We again warn you against the temptation to visit non-specialized establishments that provide repair services for Apple equipment. The low price often does not hide the professionalism of the employees, savings on spare parts, or involvement in the market for stolen equipment. In general, the risk is unjustified.
