It happens to everyone. You use your phone for everything. It’s in and out of your pocket or your bag like almost every other minute. You’re always handling your phone. And then one day, out of nothing at all, an accident makes your phone dysfunctional: you now need to have your phone repaired.
It has also come to light that the iPhone 6 is so thin that keeping it in your pocket can cause the phone to bend. So what can you do if your iPhone 6 is damaged?
Apple Support
Apple, the maker of the iPhone 6, has very good customer support and can help you with any repairs to your damaged phone. For instance, if you take your phone to a local Apple store, you can usually have your phone back the same day. You must just call the store for an appointment.
You can also mail your iPhone 6 to Apple and have it delivered within three to five business days. If your phone cannot be repaired, Apple will replace it with the same or equivalent model and you won’t lose anything in the way of performance.
You cannot go wrong with this. Be sure to back up your iPhone before taking it or sending it for repair. The cost will vary, depending on the damage to be repaired and the type of warranty coverage. If you have AppleCare+, then repairing your iPhone 6 through Apple Support is the best way to go.
Local iPhone Repair Shops
If you don’t want to go through Apple or don’t have a warranty on your phone, you can take your iPhone 6 to any of the local phone repair shops and have it repaired. You will be charged based on the damage to your phone and what needs to be fixed or replaced. Most repairs can be accomplished in a day or two. And remember to always back up your iPhone 6.
