When taking our iPhone to the technical service, to change the battery, for example, they will force us to disconnect it from Apple ID, in the search appwhat for many can mean a safety risk, and do not want to do it, so the company implements a new mode.
This mode is called «Repair mode»And it serves to do this, in a single touch, and without having to eliminate the iPhone from our account, which, in addition to speed in the process, gives security, because doing this, previously, was a problem, because we could not locate it and demonstrate that it is ours if something happened.
Iphone repair mode
This mode is a novelty of iOS 17, however, many people do not know that it exists, due to something very logical, and it does not appear clearly in the device, or in the search app, and it will have to be discovered in this way.
- Access the app Look for
- Go to the tab of Devices
- Select the iPhone and click on «Eliminate this device«
In doing so, the image that we will see below will come out, indicating that we can use the repair mode without eliminating the phone.
Once activated, the iPhone will enter a special state that allows technicians to carry out the necessary repairs without accessing your personal information. At the end of the repair, you can deactivate the Repair mode and continue using your device normally without the need to restore from a backup.
However, due to the possible problems that may be in this process, as well as in the repair by the technicians, we always advise to have a previous copy to take it to the store, something that will not cost us anything, and that will offer us that extra security in case something happens, since we understand that it is very tedious We will have, and we will not lose anything.
This system can be done so much in person, for store repairs, as previously in your home, if you intend to send it by mail, since sometimes we do not have an Apple Store or SAT nearby, and we can also do so.
Previously, our iPhone was completely disconnected and completely erasing, something we can continue doing if we prefer, for fear of sending it and that intercepted some data (it is practically impossible with the security of Apple). However, to do it in person, it is better This new formmuch faster and faster, both for the technician and for you, since for a simple change of piece, having to perform the old process is quite tedious.
And you, did you know this method? The truth is that it is somewhat hidden, and if you are looking for tutorials to take it to repair, you still get the ancients, so many people are doing a method that does not make much sense today, at least if you have your updated iPhone, since if we talk about an ancient model like the iPhone X, it will not possess this option, and we will not have another one.
