iPhone Frame & Enclosure RepairJohannesburg, Pretoria & Gauteng

Apple switched back to aluminium from titanium on the 17 Pro for better thermal conductivity with the new vapor chamber cooling system. Aluminium dents far more easily than titanium — even waist-height drops cause visible corner dents. The anodized finish also chips off on impact.

A frame swap migrates all your iPhone's internal components — logic board (with all your data), battery, cameras, buttons, and flex cables — into a fresh chassis. All paired components remain on your original board so Face ID, Touch ID, and all functions work correctly after the swap.

Used original frames are genuine Apple chassis from donor devices in good cosmetic condition. They have the correct tolerances, antenna placement, and Camera Control slot precision. New original frames are available at higher cost — we quote both.

Stainless steel is harder than aluminium and more resistant to denting. Minor dents can sometimes be reduced with precision tooling. Significant dents require frame swap to restore structural integrity.

No — Face ID data is stored on the logic board which moves with you to the new frame. Touch ID is in the Home button flex, which also migrates. All biometric functions fully preserved.

A full frame swap is a significant repair — allow a full day. All components carefully removed, inspected, and re-fitted with appropriate torque and alignment.

A minor titanium bend can sometimes be carefully straightened under press. For significant bends, frame swap is more reliable. We assess which is appropriate during the free diagnostic.

Yes — across all iPhone models. Parts availability varies by model age. Older models may require sourcing time. We confirm availability during the free assessment.
