The replacement will be new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability. We guarantee our service, including replacement parts, for 90 days or the remaining term of your Apple warranty or AppleCare+ coverage, whichever is longer. This is in addition to rights provided by consumer law.

If your iPhone or the issue is not covered under warranty, AppleCare+, or consumer law then we charge an assessment fee of $42.50 incl GST. This assessment fee covers an Apple Certified Technician isolating the issue and providing a quote for repair, replacement or insurance purposes.

Whenever we perform a repair on your iPhone we will only use genuine Apple Authorised service parts which will be backed by an Apple 90-day service warranty in addition to rights provided by consumer law.

Repairs are considered out of warranty when:

Your iPhone is over one year old.
Your iPhone has an issue that’s not covered under warranty or consumer law, like accidental damage or damage caused by unauthorized modifications.
We might be able to fix or replace your product for an out-of-warranty fee. If we replace your iPhone, the replacement will be new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability.

When you choose to have your product serviced with Imagetext, we will first attempt to repair the issue in-store, however some issues may be more complex and require special tools or machinery. If this is the case, we will ship your iPhone to Apple’s Repair Depot for repair or replacement to ensure a high level of repair quality and a first-time fix.

Accidents happen and we are here to help! While it may seem like a simple repair, a screen repair is quite complex. Your display is much more than just a display, it houses the Touch / Face ID module in your device which is the gateway to keeping your personal information secure.

While you may see companies in malls and outlets around the country promoting same day screen service, it’s important to know that these companies are not authorised by Apple which also means they are not using genuine parts. This may void your warranty causing further damage to your device, and may even reduce the water resistance rating of your device.

When you get your display replaced through Imagetext, we ship your device to Apple’s Centralised Repair Depot who has the specialised tools and machinery on hand to make sure that your screen is replaced and recalibrated to the high standards expected while maintaining the water resistance rating and security of your device. This service can take between 5 and 7 working days.

For estimated pricing on this service please contact us on 09 623 6921 or use the contact form below.

Important Note: For your device to be eligible for display-only service, it must not have any other damage to the device. In order for Apple to replace the screen, the replacement screen must be able to fit perfectly into the enclosure, if there are dents or chips in the surrounding enclosure of the device it may not be eligible for screen-only service but may still be eligible for out of warranty service. We will advise you if this is the case once the phone has been assessed.

Depending on the type of issue(s) your device is experiencing, we may be able to repair it in-store or we may need to ship it to Apple for repair. Parts such as batteries, speakers, vibe modules, and cameras can often be repaired in-store*.

If we are unable to repair your device in-store, then we will ship your iPhone to Apple’s Repair Depot for repair or replacement to ensure a high level of repair quality and a first-time fix. For these repairs, loan phones may be available depending on the issue. Please refer to “Loan Phones” below for more information.

• In-store repairs – 1 to 3 business days

If your iPhone issue(s) is not covered under warranty, AppleCare+, or consumer law then the service cost will depend on the issue with your device.

**If you’re unable to turn off Find My iPhone, we may not be able to service your device. This policy is in force to prevent unauthorised persons from servicing your device without your knowledge.

Reservations are not required however if you require a few minutes with a technician when you arrive, you can visit the Apple website to Schedule a reservation with us.

Not all repairs are eligible for a loan phone so it’s important to Schedule a reservation if you’d like to see if a loaner is available for your repair.

If a loan phone is available for your repair, we will provide you a loan phone agreement to read and sign. We will also put a temporary authorisation on your credit card of $625-$725 incl GST as a bond, depending on the model. This authorisation will be cancelled once you return the loaner to us free of damages as per the loan agreement.
