There are many repair shops that deal with iPhone failures, but not all of them are certified by Apple, and there are some non-regular repairers. The merit of requesting repairs from non-genuine contractors is that non-genuine parts can be used to make cheap and quick repairs, and repair methods that are not handled by regular ones are also possible.

However, it is a major disadvantage that the iPhone may be out of warranty by being repaired by an unauthorized manufacturer. Non-genuine parts can cause failure and fire. In addition, there is a variation in the repair techniques of non-genuine contractors because they have not received the training specified by Apple, and there is no denying the possibility that a little repair will be irreversible.
