In life, there are various force majeure circumstances, which often end disastrously for mobile equipment. New iPhone 6 plus sometimes “dies” for various reasons.

Most often, smartphones fail due to being drowned. Water entering the charging channels and the headphone socket, slots for speakers and microphone, which are not protected from moisture, then enters the case, causing a short circuit.

Usually, contacts burn out, and less often, the matrix peels off and pixels “burn out.” Sometimes water gets into the SIM card compartment. The contacts of the SIM card are covered with a layer of oxidation, which damages the phone.

The most fatal “wet” failure from the point of view of data preservation is water getting into the battery compartment and/or instead of fastening the flash memory. The first leads to a short circuit, the second is the loss of everything that was not backed up through data exchange with iCloud.

The second most common cause of failure of these devices is breakdowns associated with excessive external force on the case (phone drops, impacts, etc.).

Damage is caused in a variety of ways: from chips of the screen, which bring with them a guarantee of the appearance of a “cobweb” on it, to unintended bends of the case, making comfortable use of the device impossible.

These, like many other similar cases, make owners sad if they happen. It’s especially offensive to those who bought a new iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus, since the price tag for “top” Apple equipment in official stores is approximately 60 thousand Russian rubles.

There are no obvious exits iPhone owners not much: contacting an official center is expensive, because the guarantee does not cover damage to equipment caused by the fault of the owner; non-officials - dangerous, because demand something from them judicial procedure It will be difficult if your iPhone is scattered for parts all over the world.

Not many people know that in this situation you can solve your problem by going to special points and exchanging your iPhone 8 Plus - iPhone X for a new one (there are several such points in Moscow).

An exchange is the best way out of a situation with a broken gadget if the warranty expires or is terminated due to damage incurred.

Pros of exchange

This move has many advantages, here are some of them:

The exchange involves receiving a smartphone whose characteristics are similar to those of the broken one (if you bring your iPhone 8 Plus with 256 GB of memory for exchange, then you will not be given, for example, an iPhone 6S or any other except the same iPhone 8 Plus, only in good working order) ;
An exchange with a surcharge will cost the user less than buying a new phone (for example, an iPhone 8 Plus, which costs about 60 thousand in the official store, will cost about half its cost when visiting an “exchanger”). They especially feel it iPhone users 8 Plus with a large amount of memory “on board” (128/256 GB);
An exchange made at the service center will give you the right to receive warranty repairs within three months from the date of receipt of the phone;
Exchange is safer than the services of unauthorized workshops that repair equipment illegally;
An exchange with a surcharge as a result for the consumer is receiving a completely new phone to replace the old one.

Exchange rules

If you decide to exchange your phone. The first and most important rule is that the phone must be unlinked from icloud. Refurbished devices are also allowed (replacement of screen, cables, etc.). When checking at an exchange point, traces of unauthorized soldering, replacement, etc. may be found on the motherboard and other parts of the device, which will increase the cost of exchanging this device.

They will also check the serial numbers on your phone. motherboard and the device itself - they must match and be easy to read for the exchange to be successful.

However, it is possible to change the glass and display.

Some items do not allow exchange if the damage to your phone is critical and the latter cannot be repaired.

Many of these clauses require users to unlink their device from the iCloud service. There is no need to worry, this is just a measure to suppress attempts to exchange stolen equipment for “clean” ones.

If the exchange offices turn you away, then there are two options left, mentioned at the very beginning of the article.

We again warn you against the temptation to visit non-specialized establishments that provide repair services for Apple equipment. The low price often does not hide the professionalism of the employees, savings on spare parts, or involvement in the market for stolen equipment. In general, the risk is unjustified.

I think you know when it’s a pity to throw away old things or give them to someone for free and they accumulate in your home. This happens for various reasons - something is dear to the heart and evokes pleasant memories, and something is dear to the toad, who categorically does not want to give this thing away for next to nothing :)
But in any case, no one wants to turn their home into a warehouse, and in the end we will end up parting with the item. But it is not exactly.

I have a 10-year-old iPod and my very first iPhone in my desk drawer. I am sure that if you rummage through your closets, you will also find quite a few electronics. Why am I telling this? Yes, because you came here so that I could help you find a compromise with the toad!

You know what it is Trade-in program? For those who don’t know, this is an exchange of old junk for a new one with an additional charge. Most often this is applied to cars, but we at Fix-me thought that for equipment Apple trade in is no worse and why not help people exchange their old iPhone for a new one with a small surcharge!
Somehow suspiciously good, right? Surely you have a whole bunch of questions? Let me try to answer all questions and dispel all doubts :)

If you are too lazy to read/you are our regular customer/you believe everything that is written on the Internet, then you can immediately proceed to drawing up an application to buy back your iPhone or exchange it for a new model. To find out how many pennies you need to pay extra for an iPhone X or another model, you just need to.

Many people are very worried that many trade-in services in Moscow, including official ones, by mail or phone call one amount of additional payment or payment, but in the end it will be more or less. For us, this can only happen in two cases - if a nuance or defect is discovered that was not previously discussed, or if the phone is not a “native” factory assembly (the so-called refresh or refabrication) or a copy/model.

In fact, Apple's official trade-in program never reached us. The program for exchanging old iPhones for new ones was launched by Apple's Russian partners - retailers Svyaznoy and re:Store.

You can always exchange an iPhone 6 under the terms of the warranty if it cannot be repaired. Or you don’t want to make repairs, but just... This applies to those devices whose use is still within the warranty period, and they are serviced by an official service center Apple company. There are also situations when the warranty card is no longer valid, the equipment is out of order or partially broken, and requires restoration. Here you can exchange equipment that was in use for a new one, with a certain surcharge.

How to exchange a phone?

It is not always possible to exchange an iPhone 6 for a new one. The list of permitted breakdowns includes:

malfunction of buttons, speaker and microphone;
cracks and chips;
wear and deformation of the body;
scratched, deformed screen and/or audio jack.

There may also be other problems on the list. After a thorough diagnosis, the technician determines whether the procedure for replacing the gadget is possible. It is not carried out under the following conditions:

the structure is disassembled and some of the parts are missing;

Fill out an application on the company's website or by telephone.
A visit to the service center to diagnose equipment. Takes no more than 3 hours. If you are unable to visit the workshop, you can use courier delivery.
Based on the diagnostic results, the cost of the service is determined, and the manager reports its value.

How much does a replacement cost?

In order to exchange an iPhone 6 as profitably and inexpensively as possible, it must meet certain criteria. Various factors influence the cost. The main ones include:

Previously completed repairs. If the iPhone has been previously repaired, it is important that seals and important elements are not damaged. Also, when replacing elements, original components had to be used.
Warranty period. It is very important that the model is under warranty. This will allow you to complete the procedure for free. If the warranty has expired, the replacement cost will be determined based on various factors.
General state. If the design and case are not severely damaged, the device has minor scratches and minor abrasions, and it is in full working order, then replacement will not cost much. If the problems are significant, it will cost more.
Contact with liquid. This factor is one of the most important. When moisture penetrates, contacts oxidize, which damages many structural details. If your phone has been dropped in water or covered in other liquids, restoring it is expensive. In this case, an exchange would be a good alternative.

Such criteria are considered the most important for exchanging an iPhone 6. If the model is not badly damaged, but you do not want to carry out repairs, but intend to get a new device, MosApple24.ru will definitely help with this. After receiving the gadget, it is guaranteed for a year. The same conditions apply when
