What I Do

DS iPhone Repair specializes in mail-in screen and battery replacement for every iPhone from the original SE through the iPhone 16 Pro Max. I'm based in Great Falls, Montana, serving customers nationwide.

Important: I do NOT offer phone unlocking, data recovery, water damage repair, or motherboard-level fixes. My service is focused on screen and battery replacements only.

About Aftermarket Batteries — What You Should Know

All batteries I use are quality aftermarket replacements (not Apple OEM). Here's what that means for you:

✓ What You Get

Full Capacity: Most aftermarket batteries meet or exceed the original mAh rating
Real-World Life: Restores your phone to "all-day" battery life, just like when it was new
Same Safety Standards: Certified lithium-ion cells with proper overcharge protection
Warranty: I stand behind my work — contact me if issues arise

⚠️ Known Limitations (Be Aware)

"Unknown Part" Warning: On iPhone 11 and newer, iOS 15.2+ will show "Unable to verify this iPhone has a genuine Apple battery" in Settings → Battery. This is normal for aftermarket batteries and doesn't affect performance.
Battery Health Percentage: The 100%/95%/etc. indicator in Settings may not display or may show "Service Recommended" even with a healthy new battery. This is iOS locking the health data to the original battery's serial number.
True Tone: This is screen-specific (not battery-related). Battery-only repairs are unaffected.

💰 The Value Proposition

Apple charges $69-$119 for the same job (depending on model) and guarantees the "genuine part" message won't appear. My battery service runs $25-$50 under Apple for a functionally identical experience—the battery life you actually use day-to-day. For most customers, the trade-off is clear.

🔧 My Promise

I use batteries that pass capacity and discharge curve testing before installation. No "budget junk." You're getting a quality cell that will last 2-5 years in normal use.

How Mail-In Service Works

Email me at [email protected] — tell me your iPhone model and what you need (screen, battery, or both). I'll confirm your exact price.
Back up your phone (iCloud or computer) if possible — just good practice before shipping anything.
Package it securely — bubble wrap, padded envelope or small box. Don't skimp on padding; I want your phone safe too.
Mail to:

Turnaround: Most repairs done same day the phone arrives, then shipped back via USPS/UPS.
