Mobile phone warranty 1 / mourning the phoenix all day long? AppleCare+ must be bought

Smart phones are things that most people can’t leave their bodies for a while. Occasionally, they slip their hands and fall to the ground, or accidentally tip over a water glass or coffee cup while working. Liquid enters the body of the phone and causes damage. Maybe everyone already has something like this. experience. Even if you are cautious every day, the battery life of a new phone will decay after one or two years of use. If you don’t replace the new phone, you have to replace the battery. This is the fate of a smart phone.

Take the first-tier manufacturers as an example. Apple iPhone provides a one-year warranty. If the repair fee exceeds the warranty period, Apple’s official website in Taiwan has detailed repair prices for the screen, battery, and other damage. Like the 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max, the 6.5-inch iPhone 11 Pro Max and the iPhone XS Max, the repair prices for these three screens are all 9,890 yuan. Others such as iPhone 12Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone XS, iPhone X are 8,190 yuan. Currently, the iPhone 11, 64GB sold on Apple’s official website in Taiwan is priced at 19,900 yuan, and the screen repair price is 6,090 yuan, which accounts for about 30% of the price of mobile phones.

Those hand skaters who often break their screens, if they spend eight or nine thousand yuan each time on repairs, they will definitely not be able to afford it! At this time, if you purchase an additional “AppleCare+” service project, no matter which iPhone screen is damaged and sent for repair, you only need to pay 900 yuan. “AppleCare+” also includes two accidental damage warranty services.

Compared with the skyrocketing price of screen repairs, the price of battery replacement for iPhone is relatively close to the people. The price of battery replacement for iPhone 8 series and earlier models, and the second generation of iPhone SE are all 1,490 yuan. The iPhone X series and subsequent models, which are models that are nearly three and a half years old, have a battery replacement price of 2,050 yuan. Moreover, if the user’s iPhone is still within the scope of the original warranty or AppleCare+ warranty, they can enjoy the battery replacement service.

But if there are other damages, that is, conditions other than screen repair and battery replacement, including the home screen button, liquid entering the body, etc., if the fan purchases an additional AppleCare+ service, he still needs to pay an additional deductible of 3,200 yuan. However, if you did not purchase AppleCare+, the phone has exceeded the warranty period. The repair price of each iPhone is almost 9,000 yuan. Several models with larger screens, such as iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone XS Max, even exceed 18,000 yuan. Half of the original price of the phone.

In the AppleCare+ price section, the two-year warranty for iPhone 12Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max is RMB 7,800; the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini are at RMB 5,800; the iPhone SE2 with a smaller screen has a warranty of RMB 3,100.

As for the “repair time” that fans care about most, Apple stores and some original authorized repair centers provide “same-day screen repair” services; for example, the repair center in front of STUDIO A station has a complete range of parts and models, so it can provide “Screen repair on the same day”; if other repair centers have sufficient materials, they can also provide fast repair services for 3 hours on weekdays (delivery before 6 o’clock) and 4 hours on holidays (delivery before 5 o’clock), and pick up later in the day. However, this service needs to be reserved in advance, and the data and data in the product must be backed up before sending it for repair.

Another distributor, Deyi Digital, will offer a discount of 890 yuan for battery replacement for designated models, including iPhone 6/6Plus/6s/6s Plus/7/7 Plus/8/8 Plus and other 8 mobile phones at the end of March. Pre-register online to obtain the qualification for the event, and then go to the five authorized repair centers of Deyi in Taiwan to enjoy the discount.
