iPhone 12 rear glass repair, without replacing the entire device, is now possible

Apple (and services) is already able to repair cracked back glass on iPhone 12 Pro without having to replace the entire device.

Last month, we reported that Apple would introduce a new same-device repair method for the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 models. Now, Apple has officially extended these repairs to the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Apple Stores, Authorized Service Technicians, and post-warranty service providers have access to a new "iPhone back system" section, which is basically the iPhone case containing all components except the display and rear camera. As of this week, this part is available for all four iPhone 12 models, according to an Apple note obtained by MacRumors.

Repairers will now be able to replace the entire back of the device while retaining the customer's original display and camera. The iPhone's display and rear camera must be free of damage or issues for the device to qualify for same-device repair (at least as part of an authorized warranty or warranty repair). According to Apple, iPhone 12 models may also be eligible for repair on the same device if they won't turn on or have problems with the motherboard, Face ID system or device case - such as a cracked rear glass.

In its memo, Apple reiterated that the move supports the company's ongoing drive to reduce the carbon footprint of every product it sells.

What if your warranty has expired or you want to save on replacing e.g. a rear window?

What else can you replace and repair on iPhones in 2021?

If you enter iPhone service Warsaw in Google, you will probably be directed to the crew from Gagarina Street, which we highly recommend!

Also remember that you decide when the equipment is no longer enough for you. There can be many reasons, so I recommend answering the question: Can I still do my work quickly and efficiently with the current equipment (assuming it works 100% or will work like that after a possible repair)?
