Last time I checked it was not like that - those kits are actually quite easy to use.
The catch is that in order to buy it, you need to give them SN of the device in advance. Meaning you cannot have stock and thus you cannot offer any reasonably fast repair service. And even after that you have to contact their support in order to "pair" the newly installed parts to that device.
Most of the people I know use 3rd party repair shop because they can change battery/screen in 1-2 hours and they will not wipe your data. Apple takes 2 weeks and wipes your phone.
- anotherboffin 4y agoApple took 30 minutes when last I had them replace a battery…
- _V_ 4y agoCongrats. My battery change took them 2 weeks, had to send it. Came back wiped. I guess it depends on where you are (Central Europe for me)
- scarface74 4y agoYou mean you sent your phone in without wiping it in the first place? I always wipe my phone before handing it to Apple.
- _V_ 4y agoYeah, I made a mental shortcut when writing that - sorry :-) Of course I wiped it beforehand - they told me that they will have to send it somewhere and it would get wiped regardless.
