Product information
Does phonedepot only offer original Apple spare parts?

Original spare parts for iPhones and iPads are only available from Apple itself and from Apple Authorised Service Providers. Unfortunately, no parts from Apple itself are available in "free trade" and thus also at phonedepot. However, we can guarantee through reliable partners that all spare parts are of top quality and do not have to hide from the original. Every spare part is thoroughly tested before dispatch, which guarantees you a high quality standard. If a product does not meet your requirements, you can return it within 30 days.


Which iPhone or iPad model do I own exactly?

At this Apple website you'll find all iPad models with their specifications, so you can identify your model and order the right parts.

You can see the iPhone models on this Apple website.


Why is my new battery discharging so quickly?

When the battery arrives, it is not 100% charged. Therefore, fully charge the battery before using it to prevent rapid discharge. Only charge the device with the built-in battery again when the battery is fully discharged. Repeat this procedure 2 to 4 times. After that, you can continue to use the battery as normal.

Tips for installing a new display
How do I test the display properly and when should I remove the warranty stickers?

It is very important that you test the functionality of the display after wiring before you remove the guarantee stickers and definitely install it. By keeping the stickers intact, you assure us that the display did not break through your own fault during installation and you can return it for an exchange if something does not work.


Where do I have to pay special attention when installing the new display?

Take your time when installing the display. A mobile phone is full of difficult and delicate technology - including the display. The contacts in particular are very small and delicate, and the glass is correspondingly sensitive. So work calmly and be careful not to break anything by rushing or using too much force. In such a case, we can no longer take back or exchange the display.


As a layman with no repair experience, can I install my new display myself?

Replacing a display is sometimes easier to imagine than it really is. If you have little or no experience, videos on YouTube or other instructions on the Internet will certainly help you. If you follow them step by step, nothing will stand in the way of a successful installation. If you are unsure or do not have the confidence to do the installation, it is better to leave it to a professional.
