Face ID stopped working — often after a drop or a screen replacement elsewhere? Repair your iPhone 17e Face ID: we repair the TrueDepth camera system, the sensor array behind Face ID, so your device unlocks with your face again. A specialist repair most phone shops cannot offer.
Common faults we repair include:
- “Unable to activate Face ID on this iPhone” message
- Face ID failing after a drop or screen repair
- Face ID intermittent or very slow to recognise you
This repair uses parts ordered specially for your exact model — typically 1–7 days. We will confirm timing when you book.
