No. Independent repair exists as a group of professionals specifically because it IS a big deal to replace an iPhone 6 screen with no experience.
Are you the chairman or spoke person for this group?
BTW, this is not a forum for your voice on how good you are.
In other words, this forum is not about you and your trade.
No. Error 53 is caused by Apple. While all quality repair shops, such as those posting on this forum this week never have to worry about error 53 because we fastidiously transfer the original home button, the fact is that devices prone to error 53 that no longer have the OEM fingerprint sensor are not in need of any repair. They work no differently than my personal iPhone 6---where I choose not to use Touch ID. They are no less secure than my iPhone.
Yes, Apple made the check when you update the iPhone iOS and found out that the iPhone was tampered with.
If you were the repairer, is it not your responsibility/warranty since you did the repairs even only after a while the error came up.
If it's not you what are you going to do about it? Throw him out of your group?
If Apple did the repair or replace in the same situation, they have the records and you'll get a new (refurbished) iPhone.
Anyway, repaired for me means it worked as before, if not, it was not repaired.
Whether you choose to use or not use the Touch ID is irrelevant.
It's not a coincidence. In the wake of error 53 coverage "independent repair is shady" I came here for intelligent discourse on repair option for Apple products. I was treated like crap and made a video about it, asking other quality independent shops to lend their voices to this forum to let the consumers judge for themselves what the best repair option is for them.
Yes, nothing but words, doing the talks is easy, is there a place where people who got scammed can report to, or best get solution?
For Apple services you can.
No one is advertising their business. Do you see a single link or reference to any specific business? If so, flag that post, that's not cool.
We are here to dispel the myth that independent repair is inherently shady and bad. We are here because we care about customers and are passionate about repair, and pointing customer to the right repair for them---which is sometimes a trip to the Apple store, and other times not.
You're right that there are a ton of "pizza techs" out there and we hope to educate the consumer about what quality repair looks like, and how to get the best value when trying to extend the lives of their devices.
It's only a myst when things turned out to be not true.
Again this is not a forum about your trade.
If an iPhone was rejected by Apple, wouldn't it be logical for the owner to find one of you for help?
If you guys are really that good and honest in your trade, there won't be any Error 53 would it?
Note: This is not meant to single out any one person, since I couldn't tell the different.
