Really depends on who does it. When Apple had it done, I believe it was done with a laser. Whenever there was any kind of replacement of the original device (under warranty or for a replacement fee) re-doing the engraving was included, although it might take time.


There are a lots of places that have equipment to do this sort of thing, but you might need to read reviews on who might be recommended.

Thank you so much! I just read that you can display a message on the lock screen if your phone is missing or stolen. That’s mainly why I wanted engraving - problem solved!


Oh. That's now known as "Find My" although it used to be "Find My iPhone" even though it worked with iPads and iPods. I think part of it is now that they have incorporated "Find My Friends" into the same app.
