The 17e is the most affordable way into the iPhone 17 family. It runs the A19, the same generation of chip as the iPhone 17 with one graphics core switched off, and storage starts at 256GB. The 6.1-inch screen is covered by Ceramic Shield 2, which Apple rates for three times the scratch resistance. Scratches, mind you. Not drops. The back panel takes MagSafe, so a charger or a wallet snaps on and stays put.
A cheaper phone changes the repair maths, and not in your favour. When a repair quote lands anywhere near the price of a replacement, the easy advice is to give up on the phone, and plenty of shops are happy to give it.
You will hear that most often about a 17e that has stopped charging or will not wake up at all, because the fault is usually on the logic board and the standard fix is to swap the whole board out. We repair the board itself, at chip level, which brings the job back to a number worth paying. Cracked screens, broken backs and water damage are ordinary work by comparison, and we do plenty of those.
Drop it and the glass cracks. It is the repair we do most. The 17e uses the same 6.1-inch screen Apple has fitted for years, so good parts are easy to find. A cheap panel loses True Tone, so fit a proper one. Face ID is separate from the screen, and a new screen will not affect it.
The back glass is its own panel, so a cracked back is a small job. The magnets, the wireless charging coil and the flash all sit inside that panel, and we move them onto the new one. We match the colour as closely as we can. If MagSafe stopped sticking after a drop, check the back glass first.
Most of the time it is just lint in the port, and we clean that out in minutes. Try another cable first, and do not poke around in there with anything metal. If the port itself has failed, this one is harder than most. Apple put it under the logic board, so the phone comes almost fully apart.
That IP68 badge tempts people to take it for a swim or do underwater photography with it. But the rating is measured on a new phone and weakens rapidly with age. Damage from a spill often surfaces a day or two later. Our strong recommendation: Avoid liquid exposure; if exposed, bring it in before corrosion spreads, and keep it switched off and off the charger until then.
We inspect thoroughly and share a detailed diagnosis report. You'll know exactly what's wrong before you commit to anything.
Clear pricing before any work begins. Parts, labor, and timeline upfront. You decide whether to go ahead.
1 to 3 days for common repairs. Chip-level logic board work may take up to 2 weeks. We keep you posted throughout.
90-day minimum on every repair. 3 months on chip-level logic board work. 1 year on display replacements.
I highly recommend this place for any and all iPhone repairs. I reckon they are among the very few in the city who can handle complex repairs at the chip level. Their service and skill is impeccable and very affordable with fair pricing. I was charged Rs.4500 which i felt was very affordable given the complexity of the repair involved and also given that my data was still intact. I was quoted a price range of 6,500-14,500 in other places for the board replacement and not for a repair which was said to be impossible. What's more. I was given a 3 months warranty for the repair.
It depends on the job: a screen, a back glass, a charging port, or board-level work. We do not publish prices, because they move with the parts market and would be stale within a month. Tell us what is wrong on WhatsApp and we will quote you straight away.
Almost always, yes. A new screen or back glass costs a small fraction of a new phone. It gets closer when the fault is on the logic board, because most shops will quote you a whole new board, and on a phone this cheap that sounds like the end of it. We repair the board itself, so the price usually drops a long way. And if we think your phone is not worth fixing, we will tell you rather than take the job.
In most cases, yes, and this is exactly the kind of repair we are strongest at. When an iPhone goes dead after water exposure, the damage is usually on the logic board, and Apple or most shops will only offer a full board swap or write the phone off, which is why the quote is so high or you are told it is beyond repair. We work at component level instead: we open the board, clean off corrosion, identify the specific parts that got damaged, and repair just those.
We can't promise every board is saveable, since liquid is unpredictable, but we have brought back hundreds of dead iPhones. Two things help your odds: stop trying to charge it or switch it on, since that spreads the damage, and get it to us as soon as you can before corrosion sets in.
Yes, True Tone and auto-brightness work fine post display replacement.
Regarding the "unverified part" message: In MOST cases it goes away after completing the calibration, finally showing up as "Genuine" or "Used" part. That calibration step can be temperamental though, and Apple changes it with every iOS update, so we can't promise exactly how the note will finally read on your phone. What we do guarantee is a display that works perfectly, which is what our warranty covers.
For most repairs, like a screen, battery, back glass, or charging port, your data is never touched. The rare exception is if there's severe logic board damage, where the data itself may be at some risk. If any repair would genuinely require erasing the phone, we always check with you first.
That said, we can't take liability for accidental data loss in unforeseen situations, so if there is anything important on the phone, back it up to iCloud or your computer before you hand it over. Just to be safe.
One practical thing: we will need your iPhone passcode for testing purposes. For some repairs we may also ask you to turn off Find My iPhone first, and we will walk you through it.
Yes. We take in MacBooks and iPhones (and other Apple devices) from across India by courier. You can either ship it to us yourself, or we can arrange a pickup. Our mail-in page walks you through the full process.
