iPhone 15 repair in Leeds
The iPhone 15 was the first iPhone with USB-C and the first base model with the Dynamic Island, and both matter to a repair: the port is a different part from every iPhone before it, and Apple's manual for the 15 has a procedure of its own for replacing it. The family is the 15, the 15 Plus, the 15 Pro and the 15 Pro Max. On the 15 the battery is reached through the back glass, and on the 15 Pro through the front. Tell us which one you have and what it is doing, and you get a first opinion, free.

The repairs
What we do on the iPhone 15, and what each job involves
-
Screen replacement
The iPhone 15 has a 6.1-inch OLED display with the Dynamic Island and the 15 Plus a 6.7-inch one, and the 15 Pro and Pro Max displays add ProMotion and the Always-On display, so each takes its own part. Apple's display procedure for the 15 leaves the TrueDepth camera that runs Face ID in the frame. We fit the display and test touch, brightness and the front camera before closing. A display that is not Apple's own shows as Unknown in Parts and Service History, and Apple lists what can go wrong with one, such as True Tone, brightness and missed touches; the quote says which part is going in.

Battery replacement
On the 15, Apple's manual takes the back glass and the camera out first and then pulls the battery's two adhesive strips with tweezers. On the 15 Pro the battery comes out from the front, after the display, the bottom speaker and the Taptic Engine. We fit a battery for your exact model and check that it charges and reports its health. The 15 was the first iPhone to show the cycle count and the date the battery was made, in Settings, Battery, Battery Health, with iOS 17.4 or later.
-
USB-C charging port
The iPhone 15 charges over USB-C, which runs at USB 2 speeds on the 15 and 15 Plus and USB 3 on the Pro models. A port that only charges at an angle, or not at all, is more often packed with pocket lint than worn: the plug compacts it into a hard layer at the bottom of the USB-C port. A careful clean is the first thing we try, for the price of the visit. Apple's manual for the 15 has a USB-C connector procedure, so a port that is worn or bent is replaced as a part, once we have ruled out the cable and the plug, which are cheaper and more often the cause.
-
Water damage
Apple rates the iPhone 15 models IP68, to 6 metres for up to 30 minutes, and says the resistance can decrease with normal wear and that liquid damage is not covered by its warranty. If it has been in water: switch it off, leave it off, and do not charge it. Apple's own advice is not to put it in rice and not to dry it with heat or compressed air. We open it, see how far the liquid has gone, clean the board where we can, and give you the odds and a fixed price in writing before anything else. Nobody can promise a spill, and if it cannot be saved you pay nothing for the repair, only the £50 call-out if we came out.
-
Will not turn on, or stuck on the logo
A dead iPhone 15 is more often a flat or failed battery, a dirty port or a charger than a dead board, so we work through those in order and prove each before moving on. A phone stuck on the Apple logo, or looping, is usually software that a recovery restore clears, and we talk through what that means for the data on it before we start. If a 15 warns "Liquid Detected in USB-C Connector" when you plug it in, Apple's advice is to unplug it and let it dry before charging again, because charging it wet can corrode the pins.
Parts, honestly
Genuine, compatible, and what the software will say
Where a genuine part is available for your exact model we fit that; where only a compatible part is, the quote says so before you agree, and the price is different. Nothing is fitted without you knowing which kind of part it is. After a repair, the 15 records each replaced part in Settings, General, About, Parts and Service History: the battery, the display, the logic board and the front and rear cameras. A part Apple cannot verify is listed as Unknown, with a notification the first time you unlock the phone after the repair and again five days later. From the 15, with iOS 18 or later, Apple shows Used for a genuine display or battery that came from another iPhone, and Apple's Repair Assistant can calibrate a part taken from another phone of the same model; on the 14 and 15 it finishes a repair to the back glass, the battery, the display and the cameras. The phone keeps working whichever part is fitted.
Is it worth repairing?
An honest answer for the iPhone 15
Yes, comfortably. Apple's iOS 27 runs on all four iPhone 15 models (Apple's compatibility list, checked 7 November 2026), and Apple designs the battery of the 15 and later to keep 80 per cent of its capacity at 1,000 full charge cycles, against 500 for the 14 and earlier, so a battery alone makes a tired 15 feel new for a long time. A screen or a port is worth doing too. Two faults at once, a smashed front and back for instance, is where we stop and talk about the numbers with you before anything is ordered.
This is a phone repair job.

A visit has a £50 call-out, the same wherever we come out to, agreed before we travel. It is the first £50 of your job, not an extra on top: if you go ahead, it is part of the price you pay, and if you do not, it is all you pay, because it covers the journey and the time spent finding the fault.
