The iPhone 11 – what a beauty! It’s loaded to the brim with features, like a breath-taking camera, Face ID security, Apple Pay Capacity, and more. Even better, it’s splash, water, and dust resistant. Still, the iPhone 11 isn’t indestructible, and mistakes happen.
If you’ve dropped your phone, you can’t take advantage of all of the benefits of this magnificent phone if your screen has shattered into pieces. To get your phone up and running again, you’ll need to head to the Apple Store for iPhone repair. This can often be inconvenient, costly, and time-consuming, especially if you don’t have AppleCare+ coverage.
To avoid needing iPhone repair to fix a cracked screen, preventative measures are in order:
Use Protection
To protect your screen, you should invest in a good protective case that should fit tightly over your iPhone 11. These are made out of thick plastic and come in all sorts of colors and designs, so you can protect your phone in style.
For extra protection, you can get a screen protector, which is a thin piece of plastic that you can apply to your iPhone 11 screen – this should add an extra defense against dings and scratches that might happen from daily use.
A screen protector made out of tempered glass may be an even more worthy investment. This glass is specially made to provide even more protection – you can drop your iPhone and you’ll probably be ok. If you are very unfortunate, your tempered glass protector might shatter, but your iPhone 11 display will still remain intact.
Have a Routine That’ll Keep Your Screen Safe
If you develop some good habits, you’ll decrease the chances of breaking your screen and needing iPhone repair. First, always charge your iPhone 11 in a safe place and try to charge it in the same place every time.
When you charge your iPhone 11 in a safe place you avoid the chances of tripping on the charging cable and knocking it down or forgetting where you put it and causing it to drop as a result.
Good places to charge your phone include low, flat surfaces, like the bottom of a bookshelf, or if you are an iPhone junky, on your night table where you can pick up your phone and check it first thing in the morning or last thing at night.
Another good habit to form is doing a “phone check.” Make sure you have your iPhone 11 safely in hand before you sit down, or get up and go somewhere. This will prevent you from sitting on your iPhone while it’s in your back pocket or doing something forgetful like placing your phone on top of your car and driving away.
This will protect the screen and will ensure that your iPhone 11 never gets stolen or lost as well. Bonus!
Other Precautions
Be careful about who you give your iPhone to. This includes children especially, who don’t realize the value of a cell phone and be careless with it. Although screen time can be a great distraction, letting a child use your iPhone can put it in danger.
If you can possibly avoid it, try not to lend out your iPhone 11 to friends or strangers who need to borrow it. They might be careless as well because the phone isn’t theirs and drop it too.
Be mindful of where you put your iPhone. Try to avoid resting it on slippery surfaces, like the arm of a couch. This can cause slips, drops and falls to occur.
If You’ve Already Damaged Your iPhone 11 Screen
We suggest that you don’t delay and head to a repair shop soon. Dealing with a broken iPhone display is more than just annoying – you could hurt your fingers on the broken glass, or strain your eyes while you squint at your phone.
Continuing to use an iPhone 11 after the screen has shattered can also lead to further damage which means even more repairs. That’s because the glass screen protects the important parts inside of your iPhone from the outside elements. Finally, if you don’t address a broken screen, you might even lose touch screen functionality.
If you have dropped your device and need iPhone repair, don’t despair. There are thousands of people who have been in your shoes. Third-party, local shops can even do a great job fixing your screen within an hour as you wait. Just keep these tips in mind for the future so you don’t wind up in the repair shop too soon.
