    Thanks for such a detailed walk-through. It's frustrating seeing how many videos there are of people doing this fix the quick way, instead of what you're doing, which in my opinion, is the correct way.

    So will the camera still take the same quality photos as the original lens compared to the replacement lens?

    • @repaironwheels
      @repaironwheels  2 года назад

      It all depends on the status of your camera lens prior to repair. If there was a gaping hole in the lens than inevitably dust got all over the actual camera assembly/lens. In that scenario you would have to replace the camera to improve camera functionality back to normal

    • @repaironwheels

    Do ya' not replace the adhesive that you heated up at the beginning? Isn't that what seals it to keep water from intruding?

    • @repaironwheels
      @repaironwheels  3 года назад +2

      installed from the factory yes its part of what gives the device its water resistant seal but once its opened theres no going back. in my experience that seal stops being water resistant not long after its first use. i don't have an exact timeline for you but ive seen dozens of phones under 6 months old that have never been damaged/opened/repaired/etc that still ended up being water damage after a few seconds being wet.

    • @repaironwheels
      @repaironwheels  3 года назад +1

      the seal's second function is to keep the screen and housing from tapping/clicking together while being used (typing/scrolling/etc) as long as the majority of the seal is intact i keep it there as the seal from the factory is much better than most of the aftermarket seals

  • @nikolabasile2123

    When you detached the screen with that iron thickness, didn't you risk scratching the whole body or worse, bending it?

    • @repaironwheels
      @repaironwheels  3 года назад

      The tricky thing about repair is knowing how much force (or not) to apply. It’s certainly possible to scratch the housing but as long as you heat up the perimeter gasket which makes it easier to lift the screen and therefore less likely to use excess force. Apple uses this gadget with suction cups to separate the screen from the body which also controls how far the screen lifts. But most people don’t have access to this or probably wouldnt drop that much $€£¥₽¢ for a likely one time repair so I use the same tools as the average DIYer would use to show you that it’s possible

    • @repaironwheels
      @repaironwheels  3 года назад

      As for the potential of bending… ever since the 6 plus ‘bendgate’ debacle a few years back apple strengthened the frames of all iPhones moving forward, part of the reasoning being that you need a straight frame to guarantee any level of dust or liquid protection. But pretty much all newer frames aren’t going to bend from just removing the screen with the opening tool I use in the video

    • @repaironwheels
      @repaironwheels  2 года назад

      No. The nicer ones are sapphire crystal which is more resilient to scratching. As long as you didn’t get dust on your lens either pre repair or during the repair camera quality isn’t affected

    • @repaironwheels
      @repaironwheels  3 года назад

      Last time I asked apple this question they claim that the ip67 or ip68 remains post repair (assuming they preformed the repair) but I don’t find that to be true. Each time they remove the screen they reinstall a new gasket, but it’s pretty easy to install wrong or more realistically for the new seal to not be able to repel water as efficiently as it did from the factory

    • @repaironwheels
      @repaironwheels  3 года назад

      For example… I had an iPhone X that began experiencing what’s commonly referred to as ghost or phantom touch where the screen starts pressing stuff on its own. My phone was under warranty so I took it to apple, they verified the issue was a defect as my phone wasn’t damaged and also in great physical shape. When I got it back part of the seal was visibly sticking out from in between the bezel and screen. So clearly the tech didn’t install properly hence to ip67 rating

      To me the possibility of getting tiny shards of glass or dust/debris go up dramatically, increasing the chance of needing to replace the camera. On the 12 and up Apple gives you that BS ‘not genuine/unknown’ message. I know it’s definitely a longer repair but the good outweighs the bad

      Apple built that message into the operating system to deter people from fixing their phones. The only way to get rid of that message is if apple does it. The message is just annoying that’s it. It doesn’t affect functionality. You could take apart 2 brand new iPhones and exchange parts between them and get several different ‘can’t confirm genuine’ messages.

      From the sounds of it the OIS (optical image stabilizer) is defective or damaged which is unfortunately all too common. Normally it’s as simple as replacing the camera assembly but recently with the 12 series the OS recognizes the camera has been replaced and renders it not functional.
