iPhone repair in Farringdon — Genuine Apple or premium parts, fitted on Long Lane near Barbican

iPhone repair Farringdon professionals can plan a day around

For many people who work in the City, the iPhone is the office: email, two-factor codes, the building pass and every meeting invite. When the glass splinters or the battery gives up by mid-morning, it needs to be sorted without losing a day. Pocket Geek Farringdon by CrC Repair® carries out iPhone repair in Farringdon at 77 Long Lane, EC1, between Barbican and Farringdon stations, and most common jobs are finished while you get on with your work.

Our technicians work on everything from an iPhone 8 through to this year’s iPhone 17 line-up. On screens and batteries you decide the part: a premium replacement that keeps the price down, or a Genuine Apple Service Pack component made by Apple. We explain the difference and give you both prices before you choose. An iPhone display replaced here keeps a lifetime guarantee; the remaining iPhone repairs are backed for twelve months.

Call in any weekday between 9am and 5pm, or book your iPhone repair online and we’ll put the part aside for you.

iPhone repairs we carry out in Farringdon

From a single cracked lens to a phone that won’t boot, these are the iPhone jobs we handle day to day in EC1.

iPhone screen repair Farringdon

Spidered glass, a green or pink line down the display, a flickering picture or touch that has gone dead in one corner. We fit a complete new display assembly, premium or Genuine Apple Service Pack, then test touch, brightness, True Tone and Face ID before the phone goes back to you. That display then carries lifetime cover. More on display faults at screen repair Farringdon.

iPhone battery replacement Farringdon

Maximum capacity under 80%, a phone that dies at 30% on the walk to the station, or a battery that needs topping up before your afternoon calls. You can choose a premium cell or Apple’s own Service Pack battery, and the swap usually happens during your visit. One-year warranty — see battery replacement in Farringdon.

iPhone charging port repair Farringdon

Lightning and USB-C sockets fill up with pocket fluff and wear loose over time. If the cable feels slack or charging drops out, we clean the socket or fit a fresh port, with twelve months’ cover.

Cracked rear panel

Since the iPhone 8, Apple has put glass on the back as well as the front, and a drop onto a hard floor can shatter it just as easily. A broken rear lets grit and damp inside, so it’s worth fixing promptly. We fit new rear glass on most models from the last several generations. Twelve months’ warranty.

Camera and lens

A chipped lens cover that blurs every shot, a main camera that won’t lock focus, or a front camera that freezes when a Teams or FaceTime call starts. New lens covers and complete camera modules are fitted as needed, each backed for a year.

Earpiece, loudspeaker and microphone

Muffled calls, distorted speaker sound or colleagues who can’t hear you — iPhone audio problems are quick to trace and put right. One-year warranty.

Liquid damage

An iPhone’s seals weaken over the years, so a splash it once shrugged off can now get inside. If it’s been in the sink or caught in a downpour, turn it off, leave the charger out of it and get it to Long Lane quickly — cleaning the board early gives the best chance. The repair is covered for twelve months.

Face ID faults

Apple pairs Face ID to the sensor hardware each iPhone was built with, which narrows what any repairer can do. Whether it failed on its own or after work elsewhere, we’ll inspect it and say plainly what is and isn’t possible before anything is changed.

Boot loops and software

An Apple logo that keeps reappearing, apps that close as soon as they open, or glitches since the latest iOS update are often software rather than hardware. Once we’ve pinned down the cause we put it right, and your photos and messages stay where they are.

Genuine Apple parts or premium — your choice in Farringdon

What pairing means for a repair. Starting with the iPhone 12 series, Apple’s software records whether a new display or battery came from Apple. Fit anything else and Settings reports: “Unable to verify this iPhone has a genuine Apple display”. Batteries get a similar alert.

The alert describes where the component was made — it says nothing about how good it is. Our premium screens are sharp and responsive, and our premium batteries deliver their full rated capacity, at a lower price.

Choose a Genuine Apple Service Pack part if you’d rather iOS listed everything as genuine, kept True Tone active and showed an accurate battery health figure. Because Apple made it, the phone recognises it straight away and no alert appears. Both are available on Long Lane and we’ll quote each one; our genuine Apple parts page has the background.

How much is an iPhone repair in Farringdon?

Your quote depends on the model, the fault and the grade of part you want. After a free diagnosis you’ll see one all-in figure, and the repair only goes ahead with your approval.

Want a ballpark first? Our iPhone booking tool gives a guide price, or bring the phone to Long Lane and we’ll look at it for nothing.

An iPhone repaired with care — not a pop-up job

Repair clips on social media make the job look quick. The reality is adhesive-bonded displays, delicate flex cables, parts tied to the individual handset and a water seal that has to be rebuilt afterwards. Rush any of that and the phone may be back with a problem a fortnight later.

Pocket Geek Farringdon is one of CrC Repair®’s ten UK branches. Your iPhone is handled by a trained technician using proper tools and whichever grade of part you picked. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.

Before handing it back we test the screen, both cameras, Face ID where the model has it, sound and charging — the full routine is on our high-quality repairs page.

iPhone repair Farringdon — FAQs

Can I leave my iPhone and collect it later the same day?

Yes, that’s how most of our City customers use us. Screens, batteries and charging ports are normally finished within a couple of hours if the part is in stock, so you can hand the phone over in the morning and pick it up at lunch or after work. Back glass and liquid damage take longer; we’ll confirm the timing once we’ve looked.

What’s the difference between premium and Genuine Apple Service Pack parts?

Both give you a fully working iPhone. A Genuine Apple Service Pack part is made by Apple, so iOS recognises it, True Tone carries on as before and battery health reads correctly. A premium part costs less, though on an iPhone 12 or later iOS may show a notice in Settings about it.

Why might my iPhone show a parts message after a repair?

On every iPhone 12 and newer model, iOS looks at whether a new screen or battery was made by Apple. With a premium part, Settings may then report: “Unable to verify this iPhone has a genuine Apple display”. It refers to the part’s maker rather than its performance, and you won’t see it after a Genuine Apple Service Pack repair.

Does replacing the screen stop Face ID working?

It shouldn’t. Face ID depends on the original sensors at the top of the phone, not the display itself, and a careful technician leaves them untouched. If Face ID stopped after a repair somewhere else, bring it in and we’ll tell you what can realistically be done.

How long is the warranty on an iPhone repair in Farringdon?

iPhone screens carry a lifetime warranty. Batteries, charging ports, cameras, rear glass, audio and water damage repairs are covered for twelve months. Later accidents aren’t included; our lifetime warranty page lists the conditions.

Will my iPhone be wiped?

No. A repair leaves your apps, photos and settings in place, and we never look through the phone. An iCloud backup first is sensible if the phone still allows it.

How much does an iPhone repair cost in Farringdon?

It depends on your model, what’s gone wrong and which grade of part you choose. Try our booking tool for a guide price, or have the phone checked free on Long Lane — you approve the quote before we start.

Where is the Farringdon store and what are the hours?

77 Long Lane, City of London, EC1A 9ET, within a few minutes’ walk of both Barbican and Farringdon stations. Doors are open 9am–5pm on weekdays only.
