The iPhone 15 came out in 2023, with a 6.1 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display and the A16 Bionic chip. Charging is over USB-C and it unlocks with Face ID. There is an aluminium frame, and it is rated IP68. The first iPhone to charge over USB-C rather than Lightning, with two cameras and the Dynamic Island. Ireland gets the A3090.

What this fixes

The faults a water damage treatment puts right.

  • It will not turn on since getting wetBring it in rather than charging it. Putting power through a wet board is what turns a recoverable phone into a dead one.
  • The screen is discoloured, patchy or flickeringLiquid under the display. The panel may be the least of it.
  • The speaker is muffled or cracklingWater in the speaker mesh. Sometimes it clears, often it has already taken the driver.
  • It behaved fine and then started restartingClassic delayed corrosion, usually one to three weeks after the event.
  • It works now and it went in last weekThe most deceptive outcome there is. Corrosion started the moment it got wet and it does not stop on its own.
  • The speaker is muffled sinceWater in the mesh. Sometimes it clears and often the driver has already gone.
Before you spend anything

Is it definitely the liquid?

Liquid damage is the one repair where what you do in the first hour matters more than what we do afterwards.

IfIt went in salt water or anything sugary
Treat it as urgent. Salt and sugar are far more aggressive than clean water and the window before permanent damage is much shorter.
IfOnly one thing is wrong, like the speaker
Still assess the whole phone. One symptom after a soaking rarely means only one thing is affected.
IfYou need what is on it more than the phone itself
Say so first. If data matters more than the handset we work in a different order, and starting the wrong way round can cost you both.
IfOnly one thing is wrong, like the speaker
Have the whole device assessed anyway. One symptom after a soaking rarely means only one thing is affected.
IfThe data matters more than the phone
Say that first. Recovering the data and recovering the phone are sometimes different routes, and starting the wrong way round can cost you both.

If you are not sure which of these you have, that is what the free diagnostic is for. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.

What parts do we fit?

Genuine Apple service parts where they exist for the component, and premium aftermarket where they do not. You are told which one your repair uses before you agree to it, and the 360-day warranty is the same either way.

We will not describe a part as genuine, original or Apple certified unless that is what is going into your phone. If the honest answer is premium aftermarket, that is what we say at the counter.

    Genuine, OEM and aftermarket: what the words actually mean

    What the €40 includes

    • Full disassembly and inspection of the board
    • Ultrasonic cleaning of affected components
    • A written assessment of what is recoverable before anything is charged for
    • The cost of the assessment taken off the repair if you go ahead

    You will not find work on the bill you did not agree to. If something else shows up while the phone is open, we stop and ask rather than deciding for you.

    A collection and return across Dublin can be added when you book. The repair price and the warranty are the same either way.

    How we do it

    From the counter to back in your hand.

    Tell us what it is doing

    Walk in during opening hours or book ahead, whichever suits. Tell us what the device is actually doing rather than what you think the fix is.

    Free diagnostic

    We confirm what has actually failed before anything is ordered or opened. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.

    You approve the price

    You get the exact figure before any work starts. Nothing else happens without asking you first.

    The repair is carried out

    Done at our Drumcondra bench by the technicians who do this every day.

    Bench testing

    We test what we replaced and everything that sits beside it, because that is where a rushed repair shows up.

    Back in your hands

    Collected from Drumcondra, or returned to your door if we picked it up. Covered for 360 days.

    Before it goes back

    What we test every time.

    A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.

    Power draw

    Checked on the bench before the phone is ever switched on, because a short will do more damage the moment it gets power.

    Every function afterwards

    Cameras, speakers, microphones, charging and sensors, since liquid does not respect one component.

    Charge and discharge under load

    A board that behaves at rest can fail the moment it is asked to do something.

    Cameras, speakers and microphones

    All of them are moisture-sensitive and all of them are checked before it goes back.

    Is anything on the device at risk?

    We are replacing a part, not reading a phone. Your photos, messages and accounts are not something this job touches.

    The one place it comes up is testing. A repair is not finished until it has been used, and using a locked device means a passcode. You are welcome to withhold it, and we will tell you which checks that leaves undone rather than quietly skipping them. A passcode you do give us lives on a paper docket that gets shredded, never in a database.

    Back it up first if you can. A device that has taken a knock has had its storage shaken whether or not anything looks wrong, and a backup is free insurance against the day that matters.

    What about the water resistance?

    After any repair, ours included, work on the assumption that the device is no longer water resistant.

    The rating on the box was measured once, on a sealed unit, in controlled conditions. It was never a promise about the device three years later. Adhesive hardens, seals compress and a single drop can break the seal without leaving a mark you would notice.

    We reseal with fresh adhesive and it does a real job: rain, splashes and a wet counter are all fine. A submerged phone is not, and we would rather say that plainly than let you find out.

    If yours goes near water regularly, say so at the counter and we will tell you what the adhesive covers and what it does not.

    The 360-day warranty

    Every completed repair is covered for 360 days on the part and the workmanship. If the display we fitted fails, or the fitting was at fault, we put it right at no charge.

    What it does not cover is a new accident. A phone dropped again after the repair, fresh physical damage, liquid damage, or a fault in a part we did not touch, all sit outside it. That is the same limit any honest repair warranty has.

    No fix, no fee. The diagnostic is free, and if the repair does not happen you pay nothing.

    Three ways to get it to us

    • Walk in to Drumcondra4 Richmond Road, Dublin 3. No appointment. Mon to Sat 10:00 to 18:00, closed Sunday. Most phone screens and batteries done in 15 to 45 minutes while you wait.
    • We collect and returnDoor to door across Dublin, Monday to Friday, usually 2 to 4 working days. The repair takes the same time; the courier is the difference.
    • Send it in yourselfPost it to the shop with a tracked, insured service and a note with your number. We cannot cover a parcel in transit, and that is the honest trade-off for the route existing.

    Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.

    Asked all the time

    iPhone 15 screen questions.

    €40, including the part, the fitting, the testing and the 360-day warranty. VAT is included. You get that figure confirmed before anything is opened, and if we cannot repair the phone you pay nothing.

    Assessed first, then quoted. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.

    No. It is the most persistent myth in phone repair. Rice does not draw moisture out of a sealed device, it holds the phone in a humid pocket and buys corrosion more time. Turn the phone off and bring it in.

    Often yes. Corrosion is progressive rather than instant, and phones arrive here working weeks after a soaking and are still recoverable. The assessment tells you where it actually stands.

    No. It is the most persistent myth in phone repair. Rice does not pull moisture out of a sealed device; it holds the phone somewhere humid and gives corrosion more time. Turn it off and bring it in.

    Because corrosion carries on afterwards in ways nobody can predict. A warranty on it would be a promise we could not keep, and no honest shop offers one.

    Turn it off, leave it off, and bring it in. Hair dryers push moisture further in and heat is hard on a board that is already compromised.

    iMEND is an independent repair service. Brand and model names are used only to describe the devices we repair. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or an authorised service provider for any manufacturer.

    Why bring it here

    An independent workshop, not a kiosk.

    We are a dedicated repair bench in Dublin 3. That means we take on work authorised channels turn away, and we tell you honestly when something is not worth fixing.

    Diagnosed, not guessed

    Every device is tested before we quote, so you are not paying for a part that was never the problem.

    Parts that last

    Genuine or OEM-grade components chosen for your model. We tell you which is going in before we start.

    Your data stays yours

    Hardware-only repairs. We never read, copy or move anything on your device.

    No fix, no fee

    If we cannot repair it, there is nothing to pay. No diagnostic fee, no handling charge.

    The screen stopped working on my iPhone 13 mini - it had recently been repaired elsewhere. I got a warm welcome in the shop, and a phone to borrow while mine was in for diagnostics and repair. An issue with the battery was also detected and I am very happy with the new screen and battery and appreciated the excellent service and communication.
