iPhone 18 Pro repair in Leeds
The iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max are Apple's 2026 Pro iPhones, and Apple's model list has no base iPhone 18 to go with them. Both repair the same way: the battery comes out from the front, after the display, and is held in with screws, and the back is its own part on a heated fixture. Apple's own rules on finishing a repair are stricter on these two models, and that matters if a camera or the display is ever replaced. Tell us which one you have and what happened, and you get a first opinion, free.

- Back and frame
- An aluminium unibody with a Ceramic Shield back and colour-matched back glass
- Water resistance
- IP68, tested by Apple to 6 metres for up to 30 minutes. Apple says the resistance can decrease with normal wear, and liquid damage is not covered by its warranty.

The repairs
What we do on the iPhone 18 Pro, and what each job involves
-
Screen replacement
The iPhone 18 Pro has a 6.3-inch OLED display and the 18 Pro Max a 6.9-inch one, both with ProMotion and the Always-On display. Apple's display procedure for the 18 Pro leaves the front camera assembly, which runs Face ID, in the frame. We fit the display and test touch, brightness and the front camera before closing. Apple warns that on the iPhone 18 Pro models a display that is not its own can stop the camera and microphone indicators appearing as they should, and that the camera might then be disabled; the quote says which part is going in.
-
Battery replacement
On the 18 Pro, Apple's manual reaches the battery from the front, once the display is off, and the battery is held in with screws. We fit a battery for your model and check that it charges and reports its health, including the cycle count, in Settings, Battery, Battery Health. Apple designs batteries of the iPhone 15 and later to keep 80 per cent of their capacity at 1,000 full charge cycles.
-
USB-C charging port
The iPhone 18 Pro charges over USB-C at USB 3 speeds. 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 has a USB-C connector procedure of its own, with separate steps for the models with and without a SIM tray, so a port that is worn or bent is replaced as a part, once we have ruled out the cable and the plug.
-
Water damage
Apple rates the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max IP68, to 6 metres for up to 30 minutes, and says the resistance is not permanent 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 18 Pro 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 yours was bought in the last year, a fault that is not accidental damage is likely to be inside Apple's one-year warranty, and we will tell you so instead of charging you for it.
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 18 Pro 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. Apple's Repair Assistant finishes a repair to the battery, the display, the front and rear cameras and the enclosure; Apple says the 18 Pro's Ceramic Shield back does not need it. On the iPhone 18 Pro models, Apple says a camera will not work after a repair until the repair is finished or the phone is restored. The phone otherwise keeps working whichever part is fitted.
Is it worth repairing?
An honest answer for the iPhone 18 Pro
Yes, and sometimes not by us. Apple's limited warranty covers manufacturing issues for a year from purchase, so on a phone bought in the last year a fault that is not a drop or a spill should go to Apple or the seller first; we will tell you that instead of taking the job. A cracked screen or a damaged port is a different matter. Apple's iOS 27 runs on both models (Apple's compatibility list, checked 7 November 2026), and Apple's own camera rules on this generation make a careful, finished repair more important than ever.
This is a phone repair job.

A £50 call-out, agreed first
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.
