How Messy is the Third-Party Repair of Phone?

Has your mobile phone broken down recently? Have you sent it to a third-party repair shop for repair?

 

Some time ago, apple opened its own maintenance service. Users can have more official maintenance books, buy or rent official maintenance tools to repair their mobile phones by themselves.

Can we finally repair the mobile phone by ourselves? Of course not, because this service is only available in the United States, and the service can not be cheap. Hardware costs plus time costs are not as cost-effective as sending it for repair.

And follow the maintenance manual, it may not be able to repair the mobile phone, because for most people, dismantling and maintenance still need a certain technical threshold. Even so, I still think this is a good thing.

Because the current mobile phone repair market is too chaotic, especially some third-party repair shops or repair institutions that have stepped on the pit.

If there is a problem with your mobile phone, you must find the official after-sales service if conditions permit, because it is more reliable. A colleague changed a screen for free after-sales service in Huawei in a short time, and the screen was thought to be broken by a child of his family. However, sometimes when there is no way to find the official after-sales service, they will choose to go to the maintenance shop on the street. Although this choice will not make you safe, it will make your wallet peel off. All these are caused by the non-standard of the industry. In our view, a broken mobile phone is an injured child. I hope we can find the right medicine quickly. But in the eyes of those repair shops, it is a delicious hamburger, staring at by a group of demons and ghosts.

Some of them have a minor illness in three days and a serious illness in five days. They can't make enough money in everything. The degree of windfall profits and opacity is much higher than the profit of buying mobile phones. In 2022, the domestic mobile phone shipments were about 200million, and the data showed that the repair rate was about 12%, that is, at least one of the 10 mobile phones would be repaired within a year, that is, about 40million mobile phones needed to be repaired every year. We assume that half of the 40million mobile phones are actually repaired by a third party, and the cost of each repair is assumed to be $80, so the cost of mobile phone repair this year is $320000. The actual repair price of each mobile phone is probably more than $80 under the operation of unscrupulous merchants.

So here comes the question.... Why is the mobile phone maintenance industry so smoky?

This is due to our high dependence on mobile phones. Today's mobile phones are not only communication tools, but also production and entertainment tools. Once the mobile phone goes wrong, most of them will fall into a state of anxiety, like repairing it as soon as possible, but now the official maintenance is either far away or very expensive, so they go to the seemingly professional and cheap street repair shop.

According to the survey, the ratio of consumers choosing official and third-party repair in Belgium is 2:3, that is to say, 60% of people will choose third-party repair, but in recent years, under the pressure of third-party "low price", official repair has also begun to recover the situation. Finally, I warn you that you must go to the official after-sales platform to repair your mobile phone. You should try not to fall your mobile phone when you use it at ordinary times. As long as you don't fall your current mobile phone, there will generally be no problems.
