📱 IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR iPHONE REPAIRS 🔐
Are you bringing your iPhone to FoneFix for a repair or diagnosis? There’s one important setting we’d recommend checking before your visit.
Apple’s Stolen Device Protection is an excellent security feature, but when enabled, it can restrict certain diagnostic procedures, repair processes and post-repair testing.
🔧 To help us carry out your repair without unnecessary delays, we recommend switching this feature OFF before visiting FoneFix.
Here’s how:
1. Open Settings.
2. Select Face ID & Passcode.
3. Enter your passcode.
4. Tap Stolen Device Protection.
5. Switch the feature OFF.
🏠 IMPORTANT: We recommend doing this at home!
Apple may enforce a one-hour security delay when you’re away from a familiar location, such as your home or workplace. Depending on your security settings, this delay can also apply at home.
If the feature remains enabled, we may be limited in the work or testing we can complete, potentially resulting in delays or an additional visit.
✅ Once your repair is complete, you can switch Stolen Device Protection back on.
Thank you for helping us make your repair experience as smooth as possible!
