With the release of the iPhone 7 came a massive change to one of Apple’s main features—the home button. Instead of including the physical button that we are all accustomed to, Apple replaced it with a sensory driven button that, when pushed, no longer depresses. Though the feature is undeniably brilliant, with change always comes room for error. If you’re experiencing issues with the home button, consider our suggestions for an iPhone 7 home button replacement.
Though Apple revamped the design of the home button, the basic functions it performs remain the same. You can still:
Apple’s Taptic Engine powers the new home button. This means that even though you aren’t pushing a button, it can recognize if you are force touching, tapping, or pushing it. These actions can also be customized in your Settings app to respond to specific pressures of your choosing.
If you’ve found that your home button is not working properly, you’ll also notice Apple has designed a feature to address the issue. Once your phone detects a malfunction with the home button, it will display a message that says, “The home button may need service.” After this message is displayed, an on-screen home button will appear for your use as a temporary fix.
There are many reasons why your home button may be malfunctioning, but the most common issues involve falls and water damage. The iPhone 7 received an IP67 rating, meaning it is dust resistant and water resistant (up to 1 meter of water, for 30 minutes), but accidental damage still happens.
Currently, the only home button repair available that will restore the phone to its full functionality is through Apple. Starting with this model, it appears that Apple is using new software locks to prohibit independent repair to certain parts of the phone. Unlike the iPhone 6, the iPhone 7 home button will only work with the original, which renders any efforts made by users to repair their own phones, useless.
It’s hard to say why Apple has decided to make this change. One reason could be that because the button is now software controlled, and the lock would prevent hacking and security breaches. Another possibility is that Apple is ramping up its proprietary efforts by restricting the repairability of their products.
Every iPhone comes with a year-long warranty from Apple. However, this warranty does not cover water-related damages even though the iPhone 7 claims to be waterproof. Because of this exception, the only other coverage option available is through AppleCare +. This option costs $129 for coverage that includes water damage, and then $99 for the actual repair—a total of $228.
If your iPhone 7 home button breaks or needs to be replaced, it will only work if it is recalibrated at an official Apple store. If you don’t have AppleCare+ or aren’t under warranty, the repair will cost $319 for an iPhone 7 and $349 for an iPhone 7 Plus.
If you’re experiencing any other issues with your iPhone 7, bring it to your local CPR! We specialize in iPhone 7 repairs that are always speedy and done at a reasonable price. Find a location and give us a call or stop in.
The new and improved Apple iPhone 7, released in early September, delivered all of the bells and whistles that users expect the latest model to have. With new improvements to the camera, onboard storage space, users were most excited about the promised increased battery life. But as with most new technology, users have gotten a feel for the iPhone 7’s strengths and weaknesses, one major weakness being the battery life.
Luckily for the iPhone 7’s earliest adopters, iPhone 7 battery replacement is a very feasible option for improving the battery life of your new gadget or helping fix a faulty or dead battery that just no longer seems to hold a charge.
Apple promises that the iPhone 7 has up to 2 hours longer battery life than the iPhone 6S. This includes up to 14 hours of 3G talk time, 10 days of standby, 12 hours of internet use on both 3G and LTE, 14 hours of internet use on Wi-Fi, 13 hours of video playback or 40 hours of audio playback.
With all these promises, users expect a powerful phone that can provide them all the charge they needed for a full day of phone usage. But it seems like these promises of improved battery life have had mixed reviews which some reports saying it has the best battery life for a cell phone on the market and some saying it has the worst.
Of course, the usual quick fixes for extending battery life can provide some easy solutions for users finding their phone’s battery dying.
Users experiencing what seems like a shorter battery life can try the following to remedy it:
If none of these solutions seem to be helping with your battery life, there is always the option of replacing the battery.
Replacing a phone battery can be a stressful and frustrating experience, but we are here to help and show you all the options you have.
If your device is still under its limited warranty or you bought AppleCare+, your battery replacement won’t cost you anything; however, keep in mind that your iPhone 7 is only eligible for battery replacement if it retains less than 80% of its original charge capacity. Not sure if you’re covered? Just go the AppleCare+ page on Apple.com and enter the serial number of your iPhone 7.
Thankfully, there is another option for repairing your iPhone 7. CPR Cell Phone Repair has quick and professional service to ensure that your iPhone 7 battery replacement goes smoothly. CPR offers free estimates so you know exactly what the cost is before you buy and we offer low prices and a lifetime limited warranty on all the work we do. With our expert technicians who only use the highest quality tools and replacement equipment, your iPhone 7 battery will be replaced and you will be on your way in no time.
If you want to go the DIY route and try iPhone 7 battery replacement yourself, we have this handy step-by-step guide to help. As a note: keep in mind that this is a moderately difficult process and could take anywhere from 30 minutes to over two hours depending on your experience level.
To much anticipation, the new and improved iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus were released in early September. Apple is promising better battery life, improved front and rear-facing cameras, and even more onboard storage space. Though initial contention arose when it was revealed that the iPhone 7 does not include a headphone jack, other notable features, including the fact that the phone is water resistant, have proven reason enough to upgrade.
While numerous improvements have been made, not even Apple can contest human error. If an accident caused damage to your iPhone 7’s screen and is impairing usability, you’ll want to have it repaired or replaced.
The price of iPhone screen repairs can vary based on the model you own and where you go for the service.
At an official Apple store, prices for damaged iPhone 7 screens run between $29-$349, depending on if you purchased AppleCare+. While all iPhones come with one year of hardware repair coverage, this limited warranty does not apply to cosmetic or accidental damage. AppleCare+ includes two incidents of accidental damage (though a service fee is charged) and offers a $29 screen repair.
If your warranty expired or you have not purchased AppleCare+, screen repair or replacement can cost $149. And if you have any additional damage that impairs the replacement work, this cost can go up to $349.
At CPR Cell Phone Repair, our expert technicians are equipped to handle iPhone 7 repairs—including cracked screens—at an affordable rate. While prices are contingent upon location, all CPR stores offer free diagnosis and estimates, as well as a limited lifetime warranty. CPR professionals pride themselves on quick turnaround and will accommodate walk-in, mail-in, and same day repairs, whenever possible.
Other repair services, like Geek Squad, require a prepaid protection plan that comes with a monthly fee. And some stores lack the area coverage that CPR boasts, so their nearest store could be states away.
There are DIY screen replacement kits for sale, which come with all necessary parts and tools, and free repair videos to lead you through the process. While these kits may seem an affordable alternative to a costly repair, for an average person, things can get complicated—and not to mention frustrating—quickly. To avoid the headache of attempting the repair yourself, as well as the time it takes to complete the job, bring your cracked iPhone 7 screen to CPR where our technicians thrive on these tedious tasks.
To prevent inevitable screen damage and avoid repair costs, invest in phone cases and screen protectors for your iPhone 7.
Made from tempered glass, like the Alpha Glass Screen Protector from OtterBox and Black Ice Plus Screen Protector from Gadget Guard, screen protectors safeguard your phone against scrapes and scratches without compromising touchscreen sensitivity or image quality.
Speck, OtterBox, and RhinoShield–as well as many other brands– make durable phone cases and covers to provide extra security for your iPhone 7 and protect it from scratches, drops, and dust. CPR Cell Phone Repair stores carry a variety of iPhone 7 cases to prevent further damage to your iPhone.
Because your iPhone 7’s screen is the interface of the device, it is bound to get smudged and dirty quickly from the time spent using it. When cleaning your screen, never use a chemical cleaning solvent. Instead, use water and a clean, lint-free, scratch-resistant cloth, such as microfiber. Dampen the cloth–not the screen–and gently wipe off with even strokes.
