Introduction
If you’re an Apple iPhone 8 or 8 Plus owner, you might be aware of the news that iOS 11.3 has stopped copy screens (those designed and manufactured from scratch by third-party companies) from working.
If you have a faulty headphone or earphone socket on your tablet (including Android-based tablets), then we’re the people who’ll fix it for you.
Whether it’s an Apple iPad you own or one of the many Android tablet devices (including the Samsung Galaxy Tab), it’s annoying when your tablet’s case is damaged. Not only is the case important for protecting the insides of your tablet, but its appearance is often also an important part of your tablet’s appeal, especially if you have a high-end tablet like the iPad or Galaxy Tab.
The Important Points
- Apple attracted negative publicity when it became clear that iOS was slowing down iPhones with older batteries.
- Worn-out batteries are less likely to be able to reliably meet the power needs of the CPU and GPU when they’re running at full speed, resulting in possible crashes.
- Apple claims to have tried to work round such situations by spreading out the workload and reducing other sources of power use- but only when iOS detects the battery is degraded.
- Apple will replace your battery for you, but you may normally wait weeks to have it done. On top of this, there’s currently (as of Jan 2018) a shortage of replacement batteries expected to last until March or April.
- Disc Depot Dundee can replace your battery for you. We generally keep batteries for all recent iPhone models in stock, and can usually fit them the same day. Read More
