The 79-pound Apple iPhone’s self-repair tool kit is on our test bench. See what’s in the heavy repair package. Apple’s self-service repair portal has just been released and is currently focusing exclusively on iPhone repairs. In the future, device options could possibly be expanded. At this time, you can perform many common repairs, such as broken screens and depleted batteries for the iPhone 12 series, iPhone 13 line, and iPhone SE. In our case, we ordered a battery replacement for the iPhone 13 Pro. With the battery itself, we have to borrow the Apple toolbox for $ 49 to do the repair ourselves. Of course, this was accompanied by a $ 1,272 reservation on our credit card. Apple toolboxes have arrived The toolbox took two days to arrive and consists of two large cases with the Pelican brand. Together, they weighed almost 80 kilos. After transporting them to the studio, we broke the security seals abroad to explore their contents.
Case number one
Opening the first case – the smaller of the two – we were greeted by the return label. Apple has placed two new zip tie security tags in the return trip case. This case houses the heater used to loosen the adhesive that holds the screen in place. Attaching the heating screen remover is the necessary power cord and a warm pocket case. Warm pocket for iPhone 13 Pro The warm pocket tray secures your phone to metal sides and then slides the smartphone into the screen remover. It will intelligently heat your iPhone for a certain period of time at a set temperature to allow the glue to weaken. Screen heater A suction cup is held on the screen and as you rotate the knob from above, it will slowly apply pressure and pull the screen frame freely. Once separated, you can use the tool provided to break up any glue residue.
Case number two
The second case has many more components inside, being the larger of the two. It has its own return tag and safety tags inside, next to all our tools. The second toolbox case This box was also accompanied by a guide, showing where each tool was going and what it was. It definitely makes it easier to know where it’s going and ensures that you will not forget anything when you pack it again. There are two small boxes filled with screwdrivers, screen covers, suction cups and a plastic spatula. Then there are two large pieces of equipment – a screen press and a battery press – and a disc that fits. Small repair parts Users will use the touch screen sometimes during many repairs. Their phone will be placed in the tray of the specific device and will slide under the press. The first time it will be used will be the application of glue. The glue is applied to the phone during reassembly and then a metal plate is placed on top. The disc is then inserted into the press and then a lever is pulled. screen type Once the lever is used, the countdown starts at 30 before it emits a piercing beep to zero. You must pull out the knob on the left side to release the lever. After applying the adhesive, users must install the display assembly. Once properly connected and positioned, iPhone revisits the touch screen to lock it in place. Without this tool, the adhesive may not be as safe to bond and may cause the display assembly to release or degrade its water resistance. Battery press The battery pack is a very specialized device used when replacing the battery. First a new battery is inserted, with fresh glue underneath. The phone is then inserted into the battery compressor and the upper lever is pulled down by dropping a rubber roller over the new battery. Users then slide the phone back and forth several times to secure the battery in place. This tool exerts a constant, uniform pressure on the battery while ensuring that the battery is not damaged.
Give it a try
Apple makes these tools available for purchase on its own, but at prices that cost hundreds of dollars, the $ 50 rental fee is much more tolerable. With these tools, many users will be able to undertake repairs themselves instead of paying out of pocket at the Genius Bar.
