How Long Does iPhone Repair Take in Singapore? (By Repair Type)
Screen, battery, charging port, back glass — here’s exactly how long each iPhone repair takes. Quick reference table included for all repair types from iPhone 11 to iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Screen Repair — 60 to 120 Minutes
Screen repair is our most common repair. Time varies slightly by model as newer iPhones have more components integrated into the display assembly — True Tone data, proximity sensors, and Face ID flex cables all require careful handling.
iPhone 11, 12, 13 series: 60–90 minutes
iPhone 14, 15, 16 series: 90–120 minutes
The extra time on newer models is due to Dynamic Island alignment and True Tone calibration steps. You can wait at any outlet — most customers grab food from the mall while they wait.
Battery Replacement — 30 to 45 Minutes
Battery replacement is the fastest common repair. The battery module is accessible without full disassembly on all iPhone models from iPhone 11 onwards.
All models iPhone 11 to iPhone 16 Pro Max: 30–45 minutes
The battery adhesive pull tabs require careful removal. Rushing this step risks tearing the connector or damaging the logic board — we never rush it.
Charging Port Replacement — 45 to 60 Minutes
The charging port (Lightning on iPhone 14 and below, USB-C on iPhone 15 and 16) requires moderate disassembly. The port flex cable runs through the bottom of the phone and connects to the logic board.
All models iPhone 11 to iPhone 16 Pro Max: 45–60 minutes
We always try cleaning the port first at no charge. Sometimes lint or debris is the entire problem — no replacement needed.
Back Glass Replacement — 120 to 180 Minutes
Back glass is the most time-consuming repair because full disassembly is required. The back panel is adhered with strong adhesive and must be removed carefully to avoid damaging internal components.
All models iPhone 11 to iPhone 16 Pro Max: 120–180 minutes
Motherboard / Logic Board Repair — 1 to 5 Days
Board-level repairs (no power, Face ID fault, baseband issues, charging IC failure) require diagnosis under a microscope and micro-soldering. These are not same-day repairs. We provide a timeline after diagnosis — typically 1 to 3 business days for most faults, up to 5 days for complex IC replacements.
Quick Reference Table
| Repair Type | Time |
|---|---|
| Screen replacement | 60–120 min |
| Battery replacement | 30–45 min |
| Charging port replacement | 45–60 min |
| Back glass replacement | 120–180 min |
| Motherboard repair | 1–5 days |
Does the iPhone Model Affect Repair Time?
Slightly — but not dramatically. The biggest time variable is the repair type, not the specific model. An iPhone 16 Pro Max screen takes about 30 minutes longer than an iPhone 11 screen — not hours longer. The exception is motherboard repair, where time depends entirely on the specific fault.
Do I Need an Appointment?
No appointment needed. Walk-ins welcome at all 4 outlets daily 11am–9pm. We recommend WhatsApping us first at +65 9678 0203 to confirm your part is in stock before making the trip.
What If My Part Needs to Be Ordered?
For standard models this is rare. For unusual colour variants or regional configurations, sourcing adds 1–2 days. We’ll always tell you upfront — we won’t start a job we can’t finish same day without your agreement.
