CNet’s review of iPhone 7 Plus is titled “The photographer’s phone”. And they’re not too off the mark. In 2021, we’re used to seeing even budget smartphones come with 3,4 or 5 camera systems. But 5 years back (that’s 50 years in the consumer-tech world) when the iPhone 7 Plus was launched, it was the first iPhone to sport a dual rear camera system. It was also the first iPhone to ship with the portrait mode feature. It was also the first iPhone (along with iPhone 7) to change the home button to haptic-based virtual button.
On the other hand, it was also the first smartphone to chuck the audio jack! The move was received with mixed reactions then, but it is quite the norm these days. You don’t call Apple a design trendsetter for nothing!
Like it’s smaller sibling the iPhone 7, this model too is a fairly sturdy model. It does, however, have the dreaded Audio IC Defect - which disables all Audio features and/or other associated problems. That aside, the most common repair requirements are the usual suspects - iPhone 7 Plus screen replacement, and iPhone 7 Plus battery replacement.
My iPhone 6 had a broken screen and the authorized Apple repair center quoted 27k and will replace the unit. In distress I called Fixxo and they quoted Rs7200 including pick up and drop service. Fixxo is very professional and did a very good job of the repair. The time between pick up and drop was 3.5 hours. I am very happy with their service and would highly recommend for Apple service.
It’s a common defect with iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. It happens due to Audio IC failure on the logic board (aka motherboard). The only resolution is to attempt chip-level repair on the logic board.
Please get in touch with us for more information.
Yes, we can definitely try. With liquid damaged iPhones, the repair is indeed tricky and we can never guarantee success. Most often, it requires chip-level service on the logic board (aka motherboard) which is quite delicate and time consuming work.
But we do undertake such cases. And have successfully completed hundreds of such rescue missions in the past!
An iPhone 7 Plus screen replacement should take no more than 1-2 hours. We do have a doorstep service, or you can walk-in to our office.
Yes, all repairs done by Fixxo are backed by a warranty. Warranty period ranges from 3 months to 1 year depending on the repair performed on the device.
We do use the highest quality spare parts for all our repairs. However, we cannot officially claim to install “Apple original” spares, since Apple doesn’t sell any internals in the market.
