For Genius Bar screen replacements, what's the current procedure?

I managed to break my 6+ not too long after I got it. I had to leave it (PDX store) for an hour or so while they swapped the screen out. Not sure whether they'll balk at repairing a JB phone.

 

Most Apple stores can and will change out the screen. Took a couple of hours for my friends phone screen to get fixed. It was good as new!

 

you'll have to revert to stock os for them to replace the display and calibrate it in their machine. and if you're jailbroken they won't just swap the whole thing for you also.

 

Actually this is NOT what happened for me with a recent screen replacement. I went in with a Jailbroken phone, had the screen replaced and came out with a Jailbroken phone. Jailbreaking does not interfere with their calibration process because their calibration machine side-loads a special OS for diagnostics. The interesting part will be if you get a Genius that cares that the phone is Jailbroken (mileage will vary).

Also, during normal operations, all should be fine, however there is of course a risk. If for some reason their calibration machine can't boot the phone back out of their special boot loader, you'll be stuck having to restore - or if their machine is not working all together they may give you a swap. They'll always attempt a replacement first.

 

I had my screen replaced on my 6. They couldn't get the new screen to work with the phone, they tried more than one, so they gave me a new iPhone.

 

policy is to not service jailbroken phones until the person restores to factory os. you got someone who didn't care and could get in trouble for that.
