How to Feel Great About Your Next Fix

Feel Good Mindset - Fix Factory Canada

Sometimes feeling great, or even good, about fixing your mobile device if tough to do, especially if your device is an upmarket with quite a price-tag to fix – we understand, it’s like a blow to the ego and the pocketbook. Feeling good about a phone fix is a positive and sustainable choice that can save you money, reduce electronic waste, and extend the life of your device. Here are some points to help you feel good about your next phone fix with Fix Factory:

  1. Focus on Cost Savings: One of the most immediate benefits of fixing your phone is the cost savings compared to buying a new one. Take a moment to appreciate the money you’re saving by choosing fix over replacement, and the environment will thank you too!
  2. Environmental Consciousness: Recognize that by fixing your phone, you’re contributing to the reduction of electronic waste. E-waste is a significant environmental issue, and every fix helps in mitigating its impact.
  3. Appreciate the Expertise: Fix technicians have the skills and knowledge to diagnose and fix issues with your phone or device. Trust in their expertise and appreciate the work they do to get your device back in working order. Our techs go over an above in most cases to help our clients understand more about their fix as well!
  4. Extended Device Life: Understand that fixing your phone allows you to extend its useful life. Instead of contributing to the disposable consumer culture, you’re making a sustainable choice that conserves resources.
  5. Personal Attachment: Many of us have a personal connection to our phones, whether it’s the photos, messages, or apps we’ve accumulated over time. Fixing your phone allows you to maintain this connection rather than starting anew with a different device.
  6. Support Local Businesses: If you’re using a local fix shop, take pride in supporting a small business in your community. Your patronage can help keep local businesses thriving, such as your friendly local techs with Fix Factory.
  7. Learn and Empower Yourself: If you choose to fix your phone yourself, consider it an opportunity to learn and gain skills. Empowering yourself with knowledge and practical abilities can be a rewarding experience.
  8. Personal Responsibility: By choosing fix, you’re taking personal responsibility for your electronic waste footprint. It’s a small but impactful way to contribute to a more sustainable future.
  9. Share Your Experience: If you have a positive experience with phone fix, share it with friends and family. Encourage them to consider fix options the next time they face phone issues, spreading awareness about its benefits.
  10. Gratitude for Functionality: After the fix is complete, take a moment to appreciate the functionality of your phone. You’ll likely feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that your decision to fix has paid off.

Remember that phone repairs are not only practical but also responsible choices that align with sustainability and resource conservation. By focusing on the positive aspects of fix, you can feel good about your decision and inspire others to consider it as well.

Information about Genuine/OEM/Aftermarket Quality iPhone Parts and Service History

Important Display Message - Apple Warnings

At Fix Factory Canada, we give you options without compromising on quality.

The Genuine Apple™ parts are built to Apple’s exacting standards for performance and reliability. Our Genuine / OEM / Original Quality parts are held to the same strict requirements – using premium materials, advanced manufacturing, and the same rigorous testing – often coming directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturer or as Genuine parts themselves.

For those looking for the best value without sacrificing performance in most cases, our Premium Aftermarket Quality parts deliver exceptional quality – many on par with OEM standards – matched with value-pricing.

We also use cutting-edge coding technology to ensure your device performs exactly as it should, based on its respective quality class. This means screens with crisp brightness, vivid colors, perfect white balance, and smooth, responsive Multi-Touch™ – plus full support for True Tone™, Night Shift™, and Haptic Touch™ (on never fixed iPhone 7 and newer models).

No matter which option you choose, you’ll get the performance, reliability, and attention to detail your device deserves.

You book with Us because it makes sense. You book again because it works.

About the “Unable to Verify” Message on iOS 15.2 and Later

Starting with iOS 15.2, when a technician installs a replacement part – whether Genuine Apple™, OEM/Original Quality, or Premium Aftermarket—your iPhone may display an “Unable to Verify Genuine Parts” message in Settings > About. This is due to Apple’s software changes and is not an indication of poor quality or improper installation.

Currently, only Apple and its authorized service providers can remove this message using Apple’s proprietary Horizon™ Software. Even if we install a Genuine Apple™ part, the message will remain if the installation is performed outside of Apple’s network. In some cases, batteries may come pre-coded and your technician will be able to clear this “Unable to Verify” message through the ‘complete repair’ menu upon completion of part(s) installation.

What This Means for You

Performance: The message does not affect your iPhone’s functionality, performance, or features.

Compatibility: All installed parts will work as intended, supporting features such as True Tone™, Night Shift™, Haptic Touch™, and more.

Guarantee: We guarantee that the part you order is exactly what’s installed. Our OEM/Original Quality parts meet the same manufacturing specifications and quality standards as Genuine Apple™ parts—minus the Horizon™ coding.

While Apple’s stated reasons for the warning message may sound logical (e.g. “the part is not genuine”), in reality this may be more about FUD – Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt – to discourage third-party repairs. The only way to remove the message, even on a Genuine Apple™ part installed by a third-party repair shop, is through Apple’s coding system, or install pre-coded parts that are compatible with your device.

We appreciate your trust in Fix Factory Canada and remain committed to giving you the highest-quality parts, honest information, and exceptional service.
