Are third-party repair tools like ReiBoot safe for iOS devices?

I’m considering using ReiBoot to fix my iPhone, but I’m unsure about its compatibility and if Apple supports third-party tools like this. Are there any potential risks I should be aware of?

Yeah, I used ReiBoot when my iPhone was stuck on the Apple logo(while restoring an itunes backup). Had to try it twice, but luckily, it worked—and all my data was still there! 😅


As for safety, it’s pretty solid. No jailbreak needed, so it won’t mess with your warranty. Apple doesn’t officially endorse third-party tools, but honestly, for software issues like this, it’s a lifesaver. Just keep in mind, if your problem is hardware-related, this might not do the trick. But for iOS glitches? Definitely worth a shot!
