iPhone XS: Per ongeluk iets doorboord aan de onderkant, wat kan het zijn?

Thu, 07 Dec 2023 10:46:15 -0700

Ik probeerde (enigszins aangeschoten) mijn iPhone schoon te maken. Er zat allemaal vuil opgehoopt in de (speaker) gaatjes aan de onderkant en ik probeerde dit eruit te halen met een naald, maar daarbij schoot ik door. Nu reboot mijn iPhone om de paar minuten, is alles langzamer en werkt de WiFi niet goed.

Wat kan ik geraakt hebben? Ik wil een reparatiesetje bestellen, om de telefoon uit elkaar te halen, maar ik wil graag weten of dat überhaupt zin zou hebben, of dat ik beter kan uitkijken naar een nieuwe telefoon. Op afbeeldingen (vd interne onderdelen) kan ik niet echt zien wat het zou kunnen zijn.

iPhone XS: Tips voor het organiseren van schroeven en onderdelen iPhone XS

Thu, 05 Aug 2021 07:05:21 -0700

Hallo iedereen,

Ik heb al redelijk wat telefoons gerepareerd (Samsung s8, s9, s10, Huawei), maar met iPhone heb ik weinig ervaring (iphone 6).

Wat mij vooral opviel waren de verschillende schroeven in plaats van dezelfde.

Nu moet ik een Iphone XS repareren waaronder ook het hele frame / behuizing vervangen.

Hoe kan ik het best de telefoon uit elkaar halen en onthouden welke schroef of onderdeel bij wat hoort. Hoe doen jullie dat?

Met vriendelijke groet,

Milan

iPhone XS: Waardoor is mijn scherm defect?

Thu, 24 Jun 2021 04:28:58 -0700

Hallo, ik heb de camera lens van mijn iPhone XS vanmiddag vervangen. Alles werkte volledig. Geen enkel probleem. Om de lens te vervangen heb ik de iPhone geopend en de camera verwijderd. (Eerst accu ontkoppeld) Toen met een heat gun de lens verhit en het kapotte glas verwijderd. Vervolgens alles weer in elkaar gezet. Heb de iPhone daarna aan de oplader gelegd. Toen ik net (een uur of 4 later) de iPhone opende was mijn scherm defect. Een gigantische zwarte vlek midden in het scherm met blauwe en roze vlekken rondom. Nu vraag ik me af waar dit door komt.

iPhone XS: Scherm van xs en xsmax app sluiten of openen werk niet perfect

Sun, 24 May 2020 05:18:43 -0700

Beste,

heb deze week voor 2 klanten een xs en xsmax behuizing hersteld, nu stuiter ik op een heel bizar fenomeen wat ik in al mijn hersteljaren nog niet heb meegemaakt.

beide toestellen hebben nu een probleem met sluiten van apps met de onderste witte balk, het toeStel en scherm werkt gewoon als normaal en heeft verder geen problemen.

telkens als ze 2 laatste apps willen sluiten of ontgrendelen dan blijft hij haperen?

heeft er iemand een idee hoe dit kan gebeuren?

iPhone XS: Is it possible to restore my data from my iPhone 12 Pro?

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 07:24:33 -0700

Hello iFixit Forum,

im going to make it short and simple, my iPhone 12 Pro took a fatal blow that made the display not show the screen, but the touchscreen still remained functionable.

A few weeks before my iPhone 12 Pro got smashed i upgraded to iOS 26.1 and went on with my day.

Today i bought the iPhone XS in which i was referring to want to restore with my previous data in the title.

Im asking myself though, if i will be able to recover my data, since Apple just so conveniently decided to cut support for the iPhone XS, right when i needed it the most.

I can still make a backup with my iPhone 12 Pro that doesnt display a screen, but has working touch out of pure muscle memory, abd a bit of learning.

I dont know if i will be able to downgrade to iOS 18 on my iPhone 12 Pro, since like i said, i can basically only input my passcode, trust my computer, and make a backup.

Help would be very much appreciated, and i thank you in advance.

iPhone XS: iPhone stuck in a notification. Unable to dismiss

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 23:39:02 -0700

I accidentaly opened Apple Home, and it showed a critical alerts notification. I tried to press "Don't Allow" but it did not work. Pressing 'Allow' also did not work. All I can think of it to just wait for the battery to die. iPhone is at 90%, on power saver, and has a new battery that lasts almost 17hrs. Is there a way I can either dismiss the notification, or get it to die faster?

iPhone XS: Unlock phone without passcode

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 21:58:05 -0700

Hi I have an iPhone x I own. An employee was using it. They never synced it whit iTunes. It might have faceid and it has a passcode. They have important info about an account on the phone. The employee is not with us anymore. They claim they forgot thhe passcode and if I try too many times it will disable the phone. I tried software program but it needs me to enable the the phone for it to work and since it is locked I cannot click enable. Is there anyway to bypass or reaet the passcode without wiping out this phone. The invoice about the client has value but not enough for us to rehire the ex employee. The issue is we look prooly in the eyes of this long time client. I will need to have a verification of a backup plan in place going forward but I trusted that this employee had done as asked and did not check their work regarding this. Please help thanks

iPhone XS: Top half screen don’t work only bottom

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 01:42:06 -0700

I’m a little puzzled, I replaced my logic board and after I was done I started it up to find out that the top half of the screen does not work. Only the bottom half works. First my camera was not working so I restored phone with new firmware but the top half just don’t work. I’m thinking screen but before i replaced the board the old board worked with the screen So I’m lost on this.

iPhone XS: Guide for swapping logic board between XS devices?

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 12:28:15 -0700

Hey all! I have a faithful iPhone XS that I have been using as a backup phone, but recently the already-cracked back fell apart a little more, and I am worried it will only continue to get worse.

My partner also has her old iPhone XS, but it is completely dead. Suspect some sort of logic board failure. Otherwise though, it's completely intact, in fact it looks almost new! I was wondering if I could potentially take my old XS board, and swap it into her iPhone's frame. Not sure what parts would be serialized (assuming battery warning message, and Face ID would stop working at the very least), but I think it would be the best course of action as the XS still supports our eSIM setup, making it a cheap backup phone.

The only issue is, I can't seem to find any logic board swap tutorials on here! Does anybody know if the process/screws are the same as the iPhone X? I have done similar swaps in the past, so I am comfortable doing so, but I would like to at least have an iFixit guide to follow along with, as I know the screws can all be different lengths.

iPhone XS: Stuck on 0% remaining and bootlooping every 3 minutes - iPhone XS

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 17:05:50 -0700

So basically, I got a replacement aftermarket battery for my iPhone XS. I plugged it in correctly to my iPhone and when powered on and plugged in, it says "0% remaining" and doesn't charge and it proceeds to go into a bootloop/restart every 3 minutes or so (the UI is also glitchy). To clarify and rule out the possibility of it being a board issue, I reconnected my old iPhone battery (stock OEM original from apple) and it worked just fine, charged, showed the indicators and worked correctly. Can anyone please give me insight as to why this aftermarket battery isn't working?

Regards folks!

iPhone XS: Why is my phone suddenly acting up?

Sat, 30 Aug 2025 06:29:19 -0700

Hello good day, I have a question to ask. The device I have is an iPhone XS which was bought 2nd hand. And has a lot of issues, I mean mostly Hardware. Such as a cracked back glass and the replaced LCD. but the True Tone and Face ID works normally. After a few weeks I started experiencing random shutoffs when I leave my phone charging like idle. And also when I plug in my Wired Headphones it Also panics.the panics indicate a “panic(cpu 3 caller 0xfffffff029de57b8): "i2c0::_checkInterrupts error interrupt;
