Chosen Solution
Hello there! I just won a brand new iPhone 7 (32GB model) and since the phone is new, I was wondering, maybe it’s time to upgrade my iPhone 6S from a while back. I know this is not a big jump, however the thought of a new device is very tempting. My question is, was the Audio IC failure ever addressed-revised in the later manufactured models of the iPhone 7, or this phone is a ticking clock, waiting to die on me? The device was produced in 2019/04.
All Iphone models appear to have “Signature Faults”. Iphone 6 and 6 plus have Touch Disease, 6s and 6S Plus have backlight issues and 7 and 7 plus have a lot of Baseband and Audio IC Issues… So whatever your decision on upgrading, you are taking a chance of getting one or more of these issues. Having a New device is usually better in most situations as the battery is fresh, Newer IOS updates, etc… but if it’s not broke, Don’t fix it :) Save your 6S as a backup device and backup your data… try your new phone out and see how you like it. Some people swear by Apple devices, but I’ve been doing cell phone repair for several years now and I swear at them, Lol… I have a 90% + business fixing Iphones and the only times I see others are for broken screens, Charging ports or batteries for the most part. My honest advice… stay away from Apple
