My iPhone 7 worked perfectly but the screen got cracked. Still worked perfectly with the cracked screen.
Finally decided to take it to Apple to replace the screen and in the process of the repair, they borked the audio circuitry and the phone speaker no longer works.
Their answer to that is that's the risk YOU take when the screen gets removed by them (for anything- including battery swap). Not their fault if the phone doesn't work after they pry off the screen.
Those were the words from the repair tech and in fact a customer must sign off a release of liability if the repair goes wrong and the phone ends up a brick. -- Not their fault.
So when it comes down to it - iPhones for most intents & purposes are disposable & not repairable. Battery replacements are EXTREMELY risky (his words) because the screen has to come off.
Apple borked my iPhone 7. And I still had to pay for the new screen.
