For other smartphones, the entire chassis also requires replacement
According to information obtained by MacRumors from several sources, Apple stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers will be able to replace the bottom-right microphone on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus smartphones.
The new procedure for separately replacing this microphone should make this repair cheaper for customers, and also less wasteful, since Apple pays special attention to the environment and its protection, which was much talked about at the launch of smartphones.
As for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, as well as other iPhone models, repairing this microphone still requires replacing essentially the entire chassis with the motherboard.
Apple can repair the bottom microphone on the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus.
However, to repair the remaining microphones on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, including those near the earpiece and rear camera, you will still need to replace the middle frame.
Let us remind you that yesterday the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Ultra 2, and AirPods Pro with a USB-C case went on sale worldwide. Representatives of Russian retailers and mobile operators told TASS that sales of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro smartphones in Russia will begin a few days after the official start of global sales.
