The Most Commonly Replaced Parts on an IPhone

Since its introduction to the market, iPhones have steadily grown popular among the global population due to their robust nature, enhanced security, and eye-catching design. Unfortunately, just like other smartphones, iPhones can also get damaged and require you to replace the damaged components from your phone’s screen, and charging port, to its battery. Nonetheless, there is no need to panic when you break anything on your phone, since most of it can be easily repaired or replaced. We’ve prepared a list of the most commonly replaced iPhone 15 parts and accessories.

Broken Screens and Displays

Whether it’s an iPhone or any other smartphone, the parts that often get damaged are similar. The screen, for example, is the part that often gets damaged since it’s also fragile. After an accidental fall or a brief moment of clumsiness, you may notice a small or huge crack, depending on the extent of the fall.

Fortunately, for those using the latest iPhones, replacing your phone’s screen will be less challenging and take less time to fix. Unlike the earlier versions of the iPhone, the iPhone 11 and newer models do not include a fingerprint sensor under the screen. This makes the repair easier, and it takes an hour or less for your phone’s screen to be replaced. So, unless there is a queue, or you are rushing somewhere important, you can have your phone repaired and take it with you the same day.

Malfunctioning Charging Ports

Is your iPhone taking longer than usual to fully charge? Is it not charging at all? Or the charger keeps disconnecting and reconnecting even though it's new? This is another common problem many smartphone users face, not just iPhone users.

If you are currently facing this issue, we recommend immediately replacing your charging port as soon as possible. Not doing so might damage your phone’s battery and cost you more in repairs, so take your phone to the nearest repair shop or service center.

Most repair shops stock charging ports for different iPhone models, and if they don’t have one for your phone, they’ll source it for you and replace the faulty one with a new one. The whole repair should take an hour or less, but might take longer if they have to order the parts first.

Battery Replacement

Have you been using your iPhone for several years? Then you might have noticed a drop in your phone’s battery performance. Maybe you used to charge your phone once a day, but you currently have to do that more than once to continue using your phone as often as you do. This can be frustrating, especially if you don’t like carrying a charger when heading out.

However, it’s common for batteries to lose their efficiency over time due to depreciation. To confirm your battery's status, head to settings and navigate to the “battery health” option. Once the information you get affirms that your battery needs replacing, head to a repair shop near you and request a battery replacement.

Conclusion

To sum up, any phone can get damaged or experience a reduction in performance due to wear, or damage of components. If you are using the latest iPhone, finding accessories and spare parts should be less of a hustle than older models. Although some of these repairs appear simple and might be tempting to do a DIY fix, we don’t recommend it. Have your phone repaired by a professional, since they know what to do and are less likely to damage other components.
