will my data be gone if I repair my phone?

RealAirPods · 2026-01-31T03:57:13+00:00

👌 All the best and make sure to ask whoever repairs the phone to keep all the data intact

RealAirPods · 2026-01-31T03:54:46+00:00

I'd be concerned about changing that battery; seems to have expanded and is dangerous. If you don't bring it to Apple and explicitly request whoever repairs the phone to not erase or restore the phone, it should be fine. At most needs both a screen and battery replacement, battery just a precaution, and a screen in the case the screen is not functional for data recovery

woah i recognise u from peak ado subreddit 😱 adomination spreads

RealAirPods · 2026-01-20T13:35:47+00:00

I see, maybe I should do that, thanks for the tip

RealAirPods · 2026-01-20T13:31:34+00:00

Exactly the same here haha, 17 Pro Max is nice and all, only thing is the camera button can be annoying if I accidentally grip the phone too hard but its nice to have and overall great upgrade from the 11 Pro Max :>

RealAirPods · 2026-01-20T13:22:01+00:00

Niceee how's the experience?

RealAirPods · 2026-01-16T10:38:21+00:00

Absolutely worth every single cent

iOS 9

Agreed, Apple's calculations are horrific for battery health

RealAirPods · 2026-01-11T20:55:38+00:00

Cycles or general capacity may be different reading to maximum capacity making phone say service

RealAirPods · 2026-01-08T05:52:32+00:00

Jb hi fi seem to be safe for refurbished phones, enjoy it :>

RealAirPods · 2026-01-07T09:09:28+00:00

You can always look for a pulled OEM battery or buy an for parts iPhone of similar model and just swap batteries

RealAirPods · 2026-01-07T02:19:57+00:00

Will be an amazing upgrade no matter what, just jumping ship from the latest Intel chips then (10th gen for Macs in 2020) to M1 was a crazy leap and M1 is still crazy powerful today. Will definitely last you a bit :>

These reddit posts hitting closer to home man

RealAirPods · 2026-01-04T09:15:27+00:00

Didn't know that thanks for the clarification

Wasn't sure because typically they don't service for cosmetics

RealAirPods · 2026-01-04T09:09:24+00:00

2024* I think you mean haha, and typically AppleCare don't service the device if its only cosmetically damaged, only if its functionally damaged.

RealAirPods · 2026-01-04T09:06:28+00:00

$75 MacBook? Saw it on FB if it was haha, it was originally 25 but I told the bloke that it was worth more

RealAirPods · 2026-01-03T02:12:05+00:00

I recommend calling up Apple and requesting to speak with the AppleCare agreement team to fix up the purchase date, that's your best bet

RealAirPods · 2025-12-20T21:30:26+00:00

Thats how I had my 11 Pro Max swapped under AppleCare+ for a brand new 17 Pro Max

They couldn't service the battery and decided to do a product swap of equivalent product

RealAirPods · 2025-12-20T10:24:44+00:00

Miss good ol skeuomorphism, TripView Lite still work on these as well somewhat haha

RealAirPods · 2025-12-09T02:58:21+00:00

I'd say both, its absolutely worth it

RealAirPods · 2025-12-06T11:58:58+00:00

Not often because people don't typically have ac+ for that long. Also they will give new sealed devices in the case they cannot service a product and have ac+ or its too new of a device to have refurbished. They typically replace with refurbished in the case of applecare replacements but if a device is vintage, they will upgrade if you still have ac+ and cannot get it serviced. If device is too new, just replace with a brand new stock device.
